SuperBike Magazine November / December 2020

NOVEMBER
EDITOR’S
NOTE
Our annual survey
results are in and I
always find it fascinating
to see who reads our
magazine. 387 of you did
the effort this time and
one of you being Jonathan
Shiffman from Cape Town
actually won the Sym Crox
125 Scooter. We did the
draw at KMSA on Facebook
Live with all the names
in an Arai helmet just to
be 100% transparent, so
to Jonathan, congrats my
man.
We’ve aged again, average
age reading SuperBike
Magazine is now 48 years
of age, 90% male, almost
60% English speaking and
mostly married (65%) with
14% of you currently not
owning a bike at all. That
would mean that you are
fishing, I hope? 53% of you
buy cash, you mostly like
commuting by bike, 29%
of you might be batting for
the other side as you don’t
like our grid girls and you
sound like a fairly wealthy
bunch, almost half of you
earn more than R500k per
annum. Something I took
particular interest in was
your favourite brand of motorcycle,
these percentages
do not correspond with
market shares of sales and
I was wondering how come
that is.
Something for the future is
that 62% of you wanted an
interactive SuperBike Mag
App on your phone, best we
get to work hey.
On the off-road side, a
third of you ride in the bush
but 55% of you who don’t
currently are thinking of
it. What I liked to see and
found hard to believe is
that more of you follow
local racing than MOTO GP
and WSBK combined, you
patriotic bunch, best we up
out local racing content.
And lastly, 66% of you want
a weekly news letter from
us and you want more sic bike articles.
So, thanks for helping us
steer SuperBike in the
direction that you our read-
clasers
want us to go.
Reading what you want
and putting this magazine
together with what we
think you would like to read
has as always been a thing
of passion for me, I have
absolutely loved my career
choice so far and with your
help we can just make our
offer that much better.
So till next time, go riding
and enjoy our country in
what must be the best riding
weather in the world.
