Its not, in my opinion. The articles were very "lightweight" and large subjects skimped down to a couple of photo pages with a precious few column inches.
Some of the gear reviews just seemed to be copies of publicity blurb whereas they should be tested.
Issue #2 looks to be a bit better... not had the time or enthusiasm to read it all yet.

A mate just gave me a copy of issue 2. I would have to say the pics are pretty good, but IMHO the words tend to be simplistic and lightweight (Simon Roberts excepted) and in one or 2 places advice given was factually incorrect. A fair few of the people who write stuff are also trying to plug their own products, e.g Robert Wicks and his Haynes books.
Having said that, there isn't anything else out there in English and it isn't bad. I liked the stuff about touring NI, but had to laugh where it said that NI "still" uses the £. What other currency would a "UK of GB and NI" country use? :confused1:
The German mags have a head start on how to do it: I can read German and always eagerly await my delivery of Motorrad Abenteuer ( MotorradABENTEUER: Home )
cheers
