I stopped buying it ages ago, it's ok for racing news but there's too much speculation and crap for my liking, perhaps it it was sold fortnightly they could fill it with relevant info.

I try not to buy it anymore but I do like the racing coverage, the rest of it is pretty crap these days, all comuter bikes and bitching about cameras, only buy it after a good weekend of racing.

there's not a lot else worth reading in my opinion and where do they get the letters from?

I'v not bought it for a few weeks now, I don't think there's enough news to make it worth reading, maybe a shift to fortnightly will improve the content......just my tuppence worth........... :headbang:

 :iamwithstupid: stopped buying it about 8 years ago because it was full of crap then. Then subscribed to BSN but had a falling out with their editorial team so cancelled my subscription with that too...

i have a hate towards any bike journalist as for some reason they all speak shit, so never read the bike reviews.

As others have said - its OK for racing reports and news.

The rest of it is generally just drivel. I always think of it as being the motoring version of "The Sun"
