Contributors:
The monthly Proficient Motorcycling features have been shared by two of the most respected names in the business; David Hough, author of several best selling books for BowTie Publishing and now his protégé, Ken Condon, who has taken the reins these last few years. Regular contributors also include Glynn Kerr, the world's pre-eminant freelance motorcycle designer and former head of the International Motorcycle Design Association; Dr. Flash Gordon, author of Blood, Sweat and Gears, and America's most read physician specializing in motorcycle-related medicine; and Dr. Gregory Frasier, the only rider to have officially circumnavigated the globe four times by motorcycle, provides columns on travel and long distance riding preparation; plus many expert riders and testers.
Magazine Layout
Rather than a glossy format, Motorcycle Consumer News is printed on no-glare paper that displays color and detail beautifully. The Table of Contents is right on the cover for handy reference. Along with full-color photos and in-depth articles, there are charts and illustrations that provide the facts and test results motorcyclists need to not only make more informed decisions, but also to improve their riding enjoyment and safety.
Comparisons to Other Magazines
Subscriber-supported since 1991, Motorcycle Consumer News is the only non-commercial motorcycle magazine in the U.S. Unlike some other magazines, this publication doesn't specialize in one type of bike or riding style to the exclusion of everything else. And instead of page after page of ad clutter, there is no outside advertising to get in the way of the wealth of useful information in every issue.
Advertising
