Besides the facts and figures which are inconsistent mostly, I think BikeIndia is the best biking magazine in India. I have not read BSM lately, but the older ones (4 years back) were quite poorly written. But I would not argue with other members opinion here of BSM giving a fresh perspective on biking. Will surely catch next month's issue.

MotoUSA is quite expensive to buy everymonth, but whichever ones I have got hold of, they are well written. Extremely unapologetic, as straight as it gets, technical to the core, love it or hate it kind of reviews are present. If they don't like a bike, they will make it absolutely known!

@Ken da: Im sure you meant that it is difficult to find a mag abroad without a 'pic' of a *ahem ahem* and a bike

Id rather not comment on the writing quality of magazines etc since im not qualified/experienced/whatever enough to do so
IMO rossiter, Synn, ken da, OF sir etc would be the best to gather opinions from

Motorcycling and semi clad sexy women go together as you might have noticed in All kinds of races. Abroad, it is difficult to find an issue of a standard motorcycling magazine not having at least one photograph with a nude damsel posing with a lovely machine right through the year!
In Europe they are pretty casual about nudity, so its not an issue wid them. Imagine my surprise when I first entered the changing room of a gym in UK !!

But I've never seen nudity in Bike magazine UK or MCN !! Dunno bout the US mags thought !!

Superbike USA is pretty good, though I had a few copies a long time ago.

BIKE India: better buy from the magazine stall if you live in remote areas, as they ship using normal post. All through my subscription, I had to request a replacement copy each month. Thankfully, the staff are very friendly and do dispatch replacements right away.

Bike India is the only mag in India, but still i feel they have a good mix of stories. I specially like the DUMB part in the letter section and the Ride safe series. Plus they always have a nice road test / comparison of Indian bikes. Then they have the international content.
They also give importance to the readers - the YOU page, YOUR STUNTS / YOUR PICS.. i feel they are doing a good job of keepin all types of readers happy.

I have had a chance to see and read MCN. Man, they come out with a paper magazine once every week. But then again, half of the pages have classifieds
