Bike Magazine - April 2025

You could have just put a link up instead of the picture of Marquez Andy

 

picked it up the other day without realising, good ducati fix

 

I’ve been considering a subscription to this one. Print + Digital for £60 a year.

Is it worth it i.e. a decent read? How does it compare say to MCN?

TIA

 

With that front cover.
Not a chance.

 

I've often wondered why magazines issue dates are a month, or nearly two, later than the actual print date e.g. April's issue has a dated period of 19th Feb to 18th Mar?

 

Because nobody will buy a magazine on a newsagents shelf with last month's date on the cover. The advance issue date extends the shelf life a little.

 

I’ve been a subscriber for years, it’s pretty much the only magazine I read. It can get a bit repetitive at times, they used to have a really love affair with Triumph but that seems to have faded a bit. There’s usually some more unusual and fun articles as well as the normal road tests and launches

 

Very kind mate but I think I might grab a subscription. Thank you.

 

It’s not a bad read. There are less articulate ones out there.

 

In no way affiliated…in fact (stupidly) i never use the subscription i pay for, but that’s on me not the service…but if you’re going to go for a subscription with a digital version, why not subscribe to Readly instead…. Both Bike and MCN available. My intention was to save dragging along piles of paper mags when in my campervan, but YouTube is too easy to watch, lol

 

Thanks Spenny. I’ve done the deed now but will consider for the future.

 

I read Bike on Readily along with Ride, MCN and a number of bicycle mags, all for £12.99 a month. MCN alone would cost more.

 

Mmmm worth a look sooner than later than I reckon. Thanks.
