Just curious to see what the forum uses for reading entertainment or technical information.
I subscribe to:
Classic Motorcycle Mechanics (excellent for '70s/'80s Japanese motorcycle information)
Rider (modern bikes with a touring slant; NO wheelie photos!; an interesting retrospective each month)
Cycle Canada (just cancelled; lost interest, I guess!)
I buy now and again:
Classic Bike (for my Brit bike interest)
The Classic Motorcycle (Ditto)
Ride (To keep up with all of the new bikes we don't get here in Canada)
Bike (Ditto)
What bike magazines to you read?

That magazine title (Classic Motorcycle Mechanics) came up once before in here. Does every issue contain info that could apply to my CB650 or is it just once in a while? If so, I might have to go to my local magazine store and see if I can find a copy.

I get the 'American Motorcyclist' in the mail every month. It comes with AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) membership. It has a little racing, touring, new bike review, and some old bike featured. It's an easy read, about 15-20 minutes cover to cover.
I may need to subscribe to Classic Motorcycle Mechanics. That is a great magazine, although not too cheap to get on this side of the pond. I am not familiar with a magazine in North America that has that level of detail about classic Jap bikes.

No, it tends to be 'all brands', but focussing on '70s and '80s machines. They usually have one or two pictorial engine strip downs over five or six issues, which are quite interesting if it applies to a bike you own.
The last 650 article was some time ago.

You can subscribe to Classic Motorcycle Mechanics as an online magazine now, which is a lot cheaper than getting it sent. go to the Mortons Media website for details.
