Ryder magazine was a favorite of mine. Clemente Salvatore was a writer there
and always spoke well of the Guzzis... I met him at a Ryder Rally and really
enjoyed the conversation.
Roberto.
I do not even know if Ryder magazine still sells... All
I read is the Guzzi Newsletter...

I tried Motorcyclist but the writing was just too hip/juvenile for me. They
do occasionally have good articles the others don't (such as the recent one
on Hyosung the Korean bike company).
But I prefer Cycle World for two main reasons - Kevin Cameron (the tech
editor, once on the staff of now defunct Cycle mag) and Peter Egan who
always has great stories to tell and has a taste for European machinery.
Kevin explains things way over my head in a way I can understand. Pete
always makes me either laugh throughout the article or think about it for
the next few days. I agree with Lannis though - lately there has been too
many "cartoon" custom choppers and sportbike comparisons of almost the same
bikes they've already done extensive write-ups on (and when they do have
something in the camparison that interests me <Benelli Tornado> they don't
even show a good picture of it!). They seem to be a little bit more
interested in doing a good, fair test of Italian bikes than the others.
Cycle World is after all the mag that picked the '98 EV over all the other
cruisers at the time. Just my $.02 worth. Cheers,
Charlie
