General Comments
It addresses real world, you and me, motorcycling. Practical assessments of the bikes that 90% of us ride on the road either as a way of life or for high days and holidays. The niggles to look out for in context with the good points of each machine. Reviews even reflect the type and age of a rider that might consider using any particular bike and the purpose they may be using it for - no track-frantic rocket for a six-foot 45-year-old with a dodgy knee. Kit is tested in every day conditions and rated so that we can relate to how we might use it. Attributing the best kit with a recognised symbol not only shows us what to look out for but encourages other manufacturers to improve their products. Photographs are sharp and full of colour. If you only buy one motorcycle magazine, RiDE is the one to pick every time.
