I prefer Hot Bike Bagger. American bagger is good too with interesting technical articals and pics.
Both are good and a lot better than the ones we have here in France which is not yet a "bagger" country

 

I get both. Hot bike Baggers and American Bagger.

Baggers is about what 80 pages? Same thing every time. About 3 show bikes (at least one of them will be a Klock, FBI, Sinister, or Trask bike), a full page of readers comments who want more metric bikes in the mag and 1 dude who doesn't want to see "girls" cause its sinful, an article showing all the staff riding some bike wearing metric gear, a lame-*** Mike C. episode that has nothing to do with motorcycles and then 60 pages of advertisements. It's nice toilet reading.

American Bagger is about 130 pages. 1-2 show bikes, 2-3 more kinda nice bikes, 3-4 tech articles that show stuff actually being done on a bike (but it's usually the SAME bike over and over again), no articles really but any written matter will be at a 10th grade writing level, and finally...about 30 pages of advertising.

I prefer American Bagger but enjoy both.

Pretty good synopsis.

 

Just got my first copy, we will see.

 

I really enjoy American Iron,it isn't specific to Baggers but it has great info on Harleys in general.The first column I always read is Donnie Petersons,he seems to be quite knowledgable and opinionated.I always read it cover to cover.

 

American Bagger is the best, IMHO. I used to have a subscription to both and I really miss the AB as opposed to the Hot Bike Baggers which seems kind of thin on material.

 

I was subscribed to Hot baggers and going to American Baggers, tired of the metric bikes they put in HB.

 

Thank you all for the great advices. I love this forum. I just subscribed to American Baggers.

 

I subscribe to American Iron and American Bagger.

 

American Bagger and Easy Rider......
