Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Reliable, honest reference point
I have read MCN for over eight years and just renewed. It is an excellent source for unbiased information on all bikes. Equally important, this magazine features regular articles on motorcycle safety, specific maintenance issues, legislation which affects riders, interesting routes to ride and plenty of accurate information on all types of biking gear. These articles are always current, well informed and well written. I regard Motorcycle Consumer News as an essential part of my riding life.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Motorcycle Consumer News
We gave this magazine as a Christmas gift to another biker. We receive the publication and it has a lot of useful information in it.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great reference!
I've been a subscriber for over 10 years.This magazine is chock full of information, and it appears the editors try to keep from focusing on one type of motorcycle.

While I'm the cynical sort, I have never found their articles to be erroneous, and they tend to be very critical of themselves.They will make sure they point out an error in an earlier issue.

Much more expensive and quite a bit thinner than the other magazines, but a better deal after all.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simply the best motorcycle publication available
I have been a subscriber to Motorcycle Consumer News for many years now and have watched it evolve from a good bare-bones black and white publication to an excellent monthly that is driven by accurate product evaluation uninfluenced by manufacturer pressure. And it's printed in color now! If you want to know the truth about the newest bike or the latest accessory, this is the place to go.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finally, an Honest Opinion!
So many times I've read a review about a new or updated motorcycle in one of the many cycle magazines stating how wonderful or flawless the bike is, only to find out later it suffers from many problems not mentioned in the review. I enjoy Motorcycle Consumer News because you can expect honest reviews without the fear of the writers or editors being paid off with lavish gifts or trips.
I am completely happy with this magazine. And ordering it through Amazon was the only way I could get a 2-year ... Read More
