If you’re here to subscribe to Bike Rider Magazine, well, unfortunately, the current issue is the last.

Yep, after 244 issues and 20+ years of putting NZ motorcycling content into print, we’re finally having to call it a day as rising production and distribution costs — which never returned to normal after Covid — have made the print model impossible to sustain.

It’s been a really tough decision to make, but  we had no choice – it was a case of surviving to continue providing NZ content, or close it all.

Rather than doing an ‘Online Magazine’ like other publishers, we are now putting all our content onto this site. It’s free, it’s searchable, it can have video on it and is just much more practical than the old-school mash-up of trying to read a magazine on a screen. Everyone we spoke to about this option said they just couldn’t get on with an online magazine.

The majority of the NZ motorcycle industry has come with us with their advertising, and we urge you to support the companies you see on the website.

And you’ll find BRM online is the same place where you can still find trusted reviews and trusted advertisers, rather than all the AI junk that’s enveloping the rest of the internet. 

Thanks everyone who has supported the magazine over the years and we hope you’ll join us in this next chapter of Bike Rider Magazine.

If you’re a subscriber and looking for a refund of any remaining issues that you might have, please email us at [email protected] and we’ll get it sorted for you. Or, if you’d rather, we can send you any missing back issues. 

Thanks again for your support and we hope you join us on the next stage of the BRM journey.
