I've been a member of Motorcycle.com for about three years now. They've got a good sense of humour and used to run dyno charts of every bike tested. The technical sections are a little dry, but that's just me. I'd rather hear about how a bike feels than whether it has 23.4 or 23.6 degrees of rake this year. However, once you skip past those paragraphs, all's well.

The only downside is that they don't seem to have the same pull as the glossies when it comes to getting test bikes, so there's often an obvious contender left out of the comparos (e.g. no S3 in the "Naked Euro Shootout").

As for other sources, motorcycledaily.com is pretty good but has a little too much motocross for my tastes. And there's always MCN for rumours, lies, and wild assed speculation.

I've also subscribed to MO for several years. Their content volume varies, lately they've been steadily putting out new articles. Not all of it is good, but it's relatively cheap and the few articles of interest to me make it worth the subscription price.

Some good free sites are motorcycle-usa.com, which I think now has surpassed MO in quality, and motorcycledaily.com, which has daily updates.
