KawaAbuser, I agree the Brit mags are so much better that the Yank mags (all of them) seem uptight and bland in comparison.
I frankly don't trust a lot of what I read in Yank pubs because they seem to be so beholden to their advertisers. The Brits on the other hand will brutally trash, with words that wouldn't make it through the filters in this site, ANY bike from ANY advertiser.
Every country though, has some good racing weekly papers that seriously get into it.
In Canada, we have some pubs that are only good for the advertising...like where the nearest bike salvager is located. Bike tests are a joke and never include objective testing (roll-ons, dynos, top speed etc.) of any kind. When every mag on the planet was doing cover story comparos between Busa and XX, one of our mags printed a cover shot of the two bikes turning side by side at about 30 mph on a public road with the bikes NOT LEANED OVER HARDLY AT ALL and the riders in cheap gear and jeans. Thrilling.
Also, the Canadian mags tend to cover material of more local interest, such as 12 volt d-i-c-k warmers, tactics for avoiding road ambushes by Quebec Separatistes, etc.
The centerfolds are better than anywhere else though. The girls always flash a little tit by zipping down the snowmobile suit, and their nipples are consistently hard as a rock...even in August.
