A spy in the camp..

Post by greg »

Anyone read Bike, and Two Wheels only? If so you will have been hard put to realise they are different mags this month, content is virtually identical. Seems like a bit of industrial espionage going on. Does it matter? Yes, I have been ripped off.

I used to read Ride and MCN but the content can be the same. I guess there's only so many reviews, articles to go around.

Now stick to Ride, they seem to live a bit more in the real world than MCN, as they have lots of stuff on used bikes and not just the latest supersports.

LOL...

my fav mags are RIDE and Used Bike Guide...

All the others just cover pretty much the same stuff, and prolly printed by the same printers!

I like BIKE sometimes, but RIDE is def best if your looking for info on kit and new bits for ya bike!

Bike, ride, two wheels only...all Terrible staid writing on lots of crap bikes you dont want to read about.

Bike is particularly bad. One of those mags that you always find an old copy of in dentists waiting rooms...full of exciting articles on what the warmest leathers are or how to get your CB250 through the winter months...

and MCN is Boring to the point of being unreadable.

Superbike or Fast Bikes are about the most interesting reads.
