Motorcycle Consumer News (MCN) is a monthly periodical offering reviews of motorcycles and other information such as motorcycle safety techniques. It stands out in its industry by being wholly subscriber-supported and does not accept advertising.[1][2]
History and profile
The magazine was started in 1969 with the name Road Rider.[3][4] Roger Hull was the founder of the magazine.[3] He was also the publisher and editor of the magazine until 1982.[4]
While not financially beholden to motorcycle industry advertisers, Motorcycle Consumer News is similar to other motorcycling publications in that it is dependent on motorcycle manufacturers to furnish the motorcycles they test,[citation needed] rather than anonymously purchasing the test vehicles, as is done by Consumer Reports.[5]
Contributors include safety specialist and Motorcycle Hall of Fame member David L. Hough, Ken Condon, Lee Parks, Moshe K. Levy, designer Glynn Kerr, and physician Flash Gordon M.D. with a motorcycle-related medicine column. Mike Kneebone, president of the Iron Butt Association, has also written for the magazine.[6][7]
