Bike mag test

Sorry must try harder to stay awake , must drink more coffee.
Still worth thinking about. The general silence is deafening JJH

I made the decision a few weeks ago to stop buying Bike Magazine and Motorcycle News and spend the money on a subscription to MAG instead.
(I have an annual subscription to Ride magazine and keep up to date in a rather more grown up way reading that)
Some publications (including many of our national newspapers) seem to specialise in printing what they think their readers want to read. In the bike mags this seems to be anti BMW twaddle
Well of course they are right, which is why BMW sell hardly any bikes and if you go European touring over the summer there's not a BMW to be seen.

Yes I guess Bike magazine won't be getting to many free loan BMW's in the near future after the water cooled launch write up.?
Reminds me a bit like Clarkson and the Vectra.!

It had got to the point I only read MCN for KA for his technical insights and his points to argue on.
Cancelled my subscription now of MCN as it seems to be a vehicle for Triumph merchandise and Multistradas in between the adverts.

ABR is a good read.
Not a perfect mag, but the only review that I know of that's mentioned the demise of KA.

Ah, would that be the same Clarkson who said the Fiat Multipla was simply too wide to be useable - and then bought a GT40, and spent another decade proclaiming the Range Rover as the best car in the world.
Or would that be the Clarkson who proclaimed the thrill of the overtake when you didn't know you were going to make it but luckily the oncoming car took to the ditch.....
(Ignore me, I got hit head on today. Well, the GS I was sitting on did. I wish I had been sitting in my Multipla - narrower than a Focus, shorter than a Polo, but fecking more protective than a GS).
I subscribe to Classic Bike. Can't wait to read the write-up in 2038........
