I find with American mags that they are so afraid law suits, they never seem to say a bad thing about even the worst of the worst.

At least the pommie chaps at Superbike are brutally honest.

Tui Moment.

Motorcyclist for instance, lost millions of dollars of advertising money when they pointed out that Shoei and Arai's helmet design methodology is flawed.

Superbike haven't got the journalistic integrity or the plain collective intelligence to be able to conduct a scientific enquiry into helmet standards, helmet testing methods, and to then publish a long detailed series of articles showing that a $US70 KBC helmet is the safest helmet you can buy in the US. Motorcyclist totally debunked the myth that more dollars=safer helmet.

That litigious society actually promotes better levels jourbalistic accuracy.

Performance Bikes used to be superb when John Robinson was the technical editor. It's a poor cousin of Bike magazine now.

Cycle World has Peter Egan writing for it. His editorial, and any article he writes is worth the entry price to Cycle World.

I find that US magazines are far more willing to evaluate ANY motorcycle and say something positive, and something negative about every bike they test, unlike most British mainstream motorcycle magazines who proclaim that anything that isn't the latest sprotsbike is shit. Even the previous version of the same sprotsbike is immediately rendered shit by the release of its successor.

I like some of the yank mags and subscribe to Cycleworld, Motorcyclist & Rider.
The savings are unreal compared to retail here.
I renewed my subs the other day and for one mag I think it was about $40 NZD delivered for 12 issues compared to $180 brought over the counter for 12.

The pom mags seem to be all about who can thrash the bikes the most and the 'look at me' I'm such a hard bike cunt thing.........
Not that I'm saying there is anything wrong with that either.

Yep, but thats what makes them so much fun to read.

Thanks for the tips though Jim, but if i was even remotley interested in reading about helemet shell design and the like, i'll be sure to pick up a copy of Helmet World.

Yeah whatever. Can't come up with a cogent argument for what makes a Brit tabloid bike mag "good" apart from heaps of crashes, so you have to have a go at me?

Mate...Cycleworld is worth buying for Kevin Cameron alone.

If you get a stiffy looking at softcock Poms trying so hard to get off the seat so far that they almost get their elbows down going round a roundabout, you need to get out more often.

They ride/test things like Bandits and complain that they're 'soft' etc...they always miss the point, and are full of themselves wankers.
