In the UK I can buy any sort of bike magazine as long as I want to know about sports bikes. The Motorcycle News (MCN) has degenerated from a general bike newspaper to an almost exclusive sports bike and GP/WSB/BSB publication.The only cruisers that get mentioned now and again are HD's. Even then the talk is about performance and invariable critisim because they don't accelerate/corner/brake/handle or top out like a Hyabusa clone. Can anyone recommend some reading material that is more focussed on the cruiser scene, all the better if they are not stuck on HD's ?

A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

I have the same problem, seems all the magizines focus on the Jap bikes and the HD's  not much on the Triumphs. Since I don't own anything but a Speedmaster all that other stuff is just filler.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to broaden my search beyond the gas station magazine stands.

The local WH Smith store has a very broad selection hereabouts Brummie. I'm sure it'll be the same down your way.
