    Which is the most read NZ bike Mag?

    when a bike mag rings you and says that you should be buying a full page advert because they are the most read bike mag in the country. What do you do?

    Well if its going to cost you $1800 +gst, you ask around a bit first.....

    So, please tick a box if you buy any of the listed mags regularly every month
    ( by subscription or through the shops ) And help me decide whether the 'fourth estate' is worthy of my support.
    Retired- just some guy with a few bikes......

    While I was a subscriber, and contributor to BRM from Issue 1, since Glen sold it I've found it's all wheelstands and racing;

    KiwiRider on the other hand covers manyy bases real well.
    I enjoy real ride reports and touring stuff, as well as road tests and news.

    I do accept everyone's different!

    Yep, I thought it was much better than KR under Glen. Don't buy any of them on a regular basis now.

    I buy most of them but the only must have is motorcycle Trader . Good tests, good articles and listings of all the best bikes and offers from the dealers.

    A lot of stuff written these days is just an adventure into the authors own ego, I don't wan't to read an auto biography every time a new bike comes out, a personal touch is fine but waxing lyrical in a hip hop stylie for 6 glossy pages just sucks.

    Their is a certain publication from the UK that I never bother with, it's called (super fast performance mega bike adrenalin pumpin top tune wanky rider monthly) or something, it's written every month by a new team selected from amongst the drunken drugged up party time ladyboys and hooray Henrys leaving the soho nightclubs on a Friday night.Only independently wealthy mommy's boys in white leathers with purple mohicans need apply. Three bloody pages of how great theyare, written in text speak, before they even mention the bike which is only worth mentioning if it's 0.00006 of a second faster than the last model:

    Sorry that was a bit ranty wasn't it, I was largely ignored by Santa this year Anyway back on Topic,Motorcycle Trader FTW.
    Oh bugger

    Used to be a regular subscriber to BRM but only purchase occasionally now. Seems it just doesn't hold my attention anymore.

    Shame really as it was a good mag.

    I stopped buying bike mags. I suggest you spend your $1800 on web advertising ... how about www.kiwibiker.co.nz?
