    I hear ya. Some other mags were starting to read like one loooong advertisement.

    I'll certainly miss RRX. I really looked forward to that mag every month. I'll check out Roadracing World for the remainder of my subscription and maybe subscribe to it in RRX's place.

    That sucks. It was one of the 2 decent cycle magazines in the US (that and RRW).

    It's a sign of the times though. $6-$7 magazine or free (mostly) info on the web?

    Agreed. Sad day... The three magazines I get each month are:
    • Motorcycle Racer
    • Road Racer X
    • Road Racing World
    Yusuke (U-skay)
    2002 WSBK Eric Bostrom Monza Wild Card Replica ZX-7R
    2006 Track prepped ZX-6R

    Always and forever will be a Kawasaki rider.

    I didn't subscribe to it, but I did always think it was one of the more impressive "rags". Sad to see that it, and other unique paper publications, are going the way of the Dodo. =\

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.
