I agree and would only ad Motorcycle Consumer News. With those three you got it pretty well covered. Just for fun I get Cycle World too

I like Rider. Good touring articles and short trips. I used to read American Rider (all Harley) then it was absorbed into Rider. There are tests of all the new bikes. Includes a lot of adventure type bikes. New products. Nothing if you like customization.

If you are a grown up, Rider is a class mag, but not V twin based. American Bagger is a good mag also, more based on V twin baggers. There are also many of the "Iron" girl mags. Some good reference and reading material on the internet, I tap in to www.touringdepot.com, hrs of reading there.

American Iron and American Iron Motorcycle Bagger....
....but, for as said above, RoadRunner is a great magazine for touring articles. They include tank bag maps in the print edition. If you subscribe, you get access to downloadable GPS coordinates from their articles.

I like Baggers. It has custom bikes, New products, tech articles and touring articles. Also does some new bike testing, primarily HD and Victory, some metric. It also has a website, Baggersmag.com if you want to check out some past issues.

Just cancelled Hot Bike Baggers - too many ghetto bikes, all the same stuff. Like American Iron and my fun subscriptions are Easyriders, In the Wind, Outlaw Biker, and my favorite, though not Bagger specific is Cycle Source - good stuff on MAKING goodies, music and life.

Cycle World/Motorcyclist only if I can find a free subscription somewhere

Considering Roadrunner. I met the guy who started it before he got killed. He had a good idea and I think they're holding true to what he wanted to do.

The magazine I wish were still around is Cycle.
