I used to get six or seven bike mags, but one by one they seem to have gone by the wayside or gone digital only. I want to be able to turn physical pages when I read a magazine. (Yeah, I'm old, but I have also been into computers since 1970 and do the IT work at my office.)
I now only get Motorcycle Consumer News, Rider and Cycle World. I subscribe to the first two, Cycle World is a worthless coffee table mag that I get because Motorcyclist, which used to be good, became a coffee table mag before going fully digital. Also get the AMA magazine, but that doesn't really count.

It depends on what you are looking for. Some magazines focus on new gear and reviews of new bikes. Other focus on wrenching, repairs and upgrades. At this point in my life I have my bike the way I want it and focus on riding and tours, both local and across the country. For a touring focus, I haven't found a magazine better than RoadRUNNER Motorcycle Touring and Travel. (That is the full name, but I think it is what others are referring to when they recommend "Road Runner.") Anyway, it has great ride suggestions and stories and includes maps for the routes it recommends.

Man I used to love getting the latest issues of American Iron, Biker, Outlaw Biker, and The Horse Backstreet Choppers, Hot Bike...Easyriders too. The tech articles were always great to read as well as the reviews....cool build articles spread over a bunch of issues....ehhh online just isn't the same IMHO. As much as the interwebs had made sooo many things more accessible to motorcycling, sometimes (like this instance) you long for the "old days" lol.
