Hey, I'm not sure if this will help you or not but here I go. I have every issue of sportrider, every issue of Motorcyclist going back to 1980 same with cycleworld. Over the last 8 years or so I've kinda gotten tired of some of these. I don't like the whole Primedia thing. Giant conglomeration that it is. Don't get me wrong their testing all seems to be fine. I really don't like the corrected for sea level stuff they do with their 1/4 mile times. Years ago they would bring in this guy named Pee Wee gleason and run the 1/4 real person running real times.Lately I find myself looking at the European mags. and now I've discovered 2wt, Road RacerX and Super Streetbike"Primedia" owned. These mags. seem to reflect a whole subculture of sportbike riders and rides. These builders and custom bikes and stunters are really what the original harley riders were all about. At least the image. Not this crap you see on Discovery and other assorted channels. 100,000.00 pieces of crap that only the novice Laker or Hollywood tough guy wanna be can ride. O.K. enough already. I think I may have wasted your time. Sorry man. The tests in sportrider seem to be pretty good to me. I do like those editors best.
