Dont' follow any but I do pick up a few on occasion when I'm headed to the airport or will be staying somewhere for a few days. Typically classic bike ones and road racing world. Occasionally something else slips in but I really love eharing about some of the older stuff and looking at the classic racers.

I gotta go along with the above. Ride can be hard to find on newsstands, but Bike and PB are head and shoulders above the US and other UK mags
Yeah, I've subscribed to them for years, plus CW - and probably will continue as long as Kevin Cameron is there - and the AMA mag. Got a bit of a sentimental connection to CW since it was the first moto mag I ever bought - in 1967

Ah, one other I forgot. I just started a subscription to Sideburn magazine, a Brit mag with a focus on flat track, street trackers, and that whole scene. 
The first issue came with a sticker that is perfect for BARF. It reads, "If you don't limp, you ain't shit!"

I have Sport Rider and Motorcyclist. Like someone said before, they get very redundant and don't have a lot of variety. I wish more magazines would include adventures and long distance rides into their schtick. I can say that I enjoy Motorcyclist much more than Sport Rider. The writing is better, the article ideas are better, and I don't care so much about sport bikes as I do motorcycles across the board.
Sport Rider does as good a job as anybody evaluating bikes and tires for the track. Brit mags are funny, some have:boobies. Overall, magazines seem geared for people who are in the market for a bike or whatever, and want a magazine to help them decide.

Motorcyclist, down from Cycle World and Sport Rider (I also had MCN for a bit). It's only $8 a year and it seems to cover the same material that the other US mags write about. I did like Sport Rider, but as mentioned before they kinda went off the rails. UK mags? Maybe if they had a digital subscription that was priced at about half their hard copy, I'd take a look.

same. and so far, Sport Rider has been pretty good.
i suppose that it can be relatively short, and from what i remember it usually does not highlight any user rides (ride of the month type of deal), or do a focus on an individual rider/bike. it's primarily new bike comparisons, some focus on aftermarket content, and then highlights on racing/professionals.

Cycle world.. had a real gem in the Peter Egan's column in this month issue. About riding 50cc / 70cc from newport beach to san luis obispo, in 1982.
I don't do the "I haven't subscribed for years" thing, I actually try to communicate with and live within society and culture.
Once a year I buy the UK "Bike" magazine.. that is, of course unless the local bookstore closes. Which it just did (x2). So that closure starts sucking for publishing world-wide.
