Thorough and Informative

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2000
Review: Be prepared to spend a good long time when sitting down to read this periodical. As others have indicated this magazine while expensive to subscribe to is chock full of informative and well written articles concerning all aspects of Motorcycling. I...

A good read

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2002
The Bottom Line: Seemingly unbiased testing of bikes and gear. Straightforward answers to reader's technical questions.
Review: This little publication is right on. There are few self-serving articles like you find in the glossy magazines. Everything seems to be straightforward. No color pictures because that costs money. Look at the color pictures in the other publications...

Motorcycle Consumer News, all it's cracked up to be?

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2000
Review: I subscribe to about five different Motorcycle mags a month. MCN is one of them. It's really a good magazine, if written a little dryly. I like the content of this mag, especially the reviews of bikes and products, which is my main reason for...

What do you call expensive?

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2007
Review: I have read the other reviews and will agree on the merits of the magazine. Everyone that talks about it comments on the cost of the subscription which is cheaper than the piece of chrome fluff that you just bought to impress your friends. You might...

MCN - A helpful tool

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: A magazine that takes a balanced approach to reviewing products
Review: Motorcycle Consumer News isn't a magazine I usually read for entertainment. I read it for knowledge. This is the type of publication that can make you a better consumer. They point out the little things that can lead to big disappointments.

Invaluable info for all riders!

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 1999
Review:
I've been riding now for almost 3 years, so I'm very new to motorcycling. Since I started riding, I've had a subscription to Rider magazine, and to Motorcycle Consumer News (MCN). Even though I really liked Rider, I have since stopped my...

Breakin' from the pack...

Date of Review:  May 11, 2000
Review: Motorcycle Consumer News is not your run of the mill motorcycle magazine. It's a magazine that you will want to read from cover to cover the moment it reaches your mailbox! They get into the nitty-gritty of motorcycling; ergonomics, geometry, mind...

No Ads - Informed Staff - A Top Notch Publication

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2000
Review: Fact-based and no pulled punches.

That was the promise of Motorcycle Consumer News when it began its run in the early 90's, and they've kept their promise with fact-filled articles each month.

With no advertisers to keep soothed,...

MCN: Paper riding gear!

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 1999
Review: MCN is what Consumer Reports wants to be. MCN tells it the way it is with very little bias from advertising since there is no advertising. You can read an article and be sure that what you are getting is truely the authors opinion, pure and simple...

High-quality moto-content -- no ads!

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 1999
Review: Motorcycle Consumer News (MCN) is probably the best motorcycle magazine I've seen. Unlike the colorful, ad-filled mags like Motorcyclist, SportRider, etc., MCN has more than just shootouts of the latest and greatest bikes.

MCN accepts no...
