Default Good Magazine Recommendations?

I get MCN and Rider which are fine magazines, but much of it relates to sport bikes where I don't have much interest. Are there any other good mags out there the deal mostly with cruiser/tourers/harleys, etc.?

American Iron (Donny Peterson articles) and American Rider (Joe Minton articles) are very good if you ride Harley.

I second the American Iron Magazine, in my opinion the best magazine for Harley riders. Great tech articles, how-to's, and general information. Not cram packed with choppers and non-ridable bikes.

Since you are in the touring section................I'll recommend American Bagger magazine and Hot Bike's Baggers. They both do all baggers and touring bikes with an emphasis on Harley's, and then some Victory stuff.

American Rider is a good read too, especially if you're into touring.

American Bagger has picked it up a bit finally. Not perfect by a long shot but getting better each issue and it's dedicated to baggers. Just got my new issue today.
