I get Motorcyclist, Rider, Motorcycle Classics, Cycle World and Road Runner
Different magazines are like having different motorcycles in the garage, all similar, but they generally serve a different purpose. motorcyclist and Cycle World are similar, Rider and Road Runner are similar, and Motorcycle Classics is just about classic motorcycles.
My favorite is Road Runner followed by Motorcycle Classics and then Rider, Cycle World and lastly Motorcyclist.
So what mc rag is laying on your coffee table?

Mine are all digital subscriptions, so they are laying around on my iPad: Cycle World, Rider, Motorcyclist, and Road Runner. I would rank them in about the same order as Ferret did. I'll have to see if Motorcycle Classics has a digital subscription.

I don't drink, smoke or go to many movies so I waste my money on motorcycle magazines

I even shocked myself when I saw the list; Rider, CycleWorld, Road Runner, Cycle Canada, Inside Motorcycles (Canada), Motorcycle Classics, Classic Bike (UK), Classic Bike Guide (UK), and The Classic Motorcycle (UK).

Same here but I also get Motorcycle Consumer News because of their no ads format and their columns on medical, legal and safety issues pertaining to riding.

I always have gotten motorcycle mags. then I went into the industry
and had my own store I felt compelled to get them all including all the dirt bike ones ( I am not a dirt rider and don't have any interest)
It no longer was fun to read them and I also got all the industry mags. . It was just part of the job.
When I retired I canceled them all except for the ones I like.
Rider and Cycle Word.
I must say I am starting to enjoy them a lot like I used to when I was younger.

I am embarrassed to admit that I receive no motorcycle magazines. What's WRONG with me?!

There are medical tests that can help you.
Motorcyclist is at the bottom of my list, however, it is easily the cheapest moto rag you can buy. Every time I think I 'm not going to renew they send me a reup for like $10 for 12 issues.
My two favorites Road Runner is $30 for 12 issues and Motorcycle Classics which is like $30 for 6 issues
can't remember what Cycle World and Rider cost

I have every issue of Motorcyclist, Cycle World, Rider, Motorcycle Consumer news and BMW MOA since 1990 in clear plastic sheets, in binders, in chonological order, in my man room. I also have every BMW Motorcycle Magazine and Adventure Rider magazine (in binders) since they have been out and literally hundreds of motorcycle brochures I enjoy collecting! I like tangible magazines, no digital copies. Yes, it's a sickness but at least it's cheap!
I consider the countless hours of pleasurable reading, and the time I spend researching bikes I want, a great bargan considering it costs less than a couple of cocktails and a four hour round of golf with the boys!
Motorcycle consumer news, Rider and Cycle World are my favorites.
