Bike Mags

**Fatt Max** · 18th October 2008, 17:16

Had a bit of a browse around Whitcoulls after buying my copy of Lard Monthly, and noticed the myriad of biker mags on the shelf.

Thumbed through a few and wondered if any of you lovely people had an opinion on the best mag out there for NZ biking.

This site is a great resource (as well as savage humour) but I need to have some kind of publication on hand to stick my nose in when the missus is giving me a hard time over any number of domestic chores I have not attended to.....as well as the nagging about "...oh, and you have a very small trouser snake..."

Take care, ride safe and eat pies

Anybody who says Kiwirider is a great magazine will make Big Dave happy.

Personally i quite like the NZ "Bike Rider" mag,as far as road bikes go theres something for everyone,sportsbikes/tourers/cruisers etc,used to by Kiwi Rider but have no interest in dirt bikes anymore so 1/2 of it was no good to me.

Bloke at work buys one. Ends up in our department. Recycling and all that. Good read and the subscription isn't bad either.

I like Kiwibiker. But this month is their "New Look" - bloody impressive.

I reckon that UK mag ' Superbike' is the best mag ever. I buy it every month with out fail. Very good read.

Speaking of recyling. Is there any plans for a subsciption based pdf download in the wind at all Dave? Like some of the overseas stuff?

UK Bike magazine is good....

Although not a 'bike mag' per se, I do find the test articles in Motorcycle Trader to be pretty real world, just sadly they dont have tests on all the bikes available.

Yeah. Bike Mart is already there for download.

Eventually if you subscribe you'll have the choice of online or hard copy or both.

Consolidating the improvements in the print edition first - and the web site is coming along.

We've stared videoing the bikes as well. Very excitement.
