Default Anyone notice....(DW)

Anyone notice in the Dirt Wheels edition about the TRX450R vs. YFZ450 vs. Gas Gas 450 that in the article about the new YFZ LE that it was hinted at a all Yamaha shootout?

They said a shootout with the three LE models would be upcoming in Dirt Wheels, and the shootout is based from Glamis. So I wonder who they will hand pick to win this shootout! LOL.

Banshee LE vs. YFZ LE vs. Raptor LE That is a future shootout on Dirt Wheels. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Yeah, I caught that. You know what's gonna win.

Did you catch the overly poor article with no coverage in ATVSport pitting the TRX against the YFZ? Wow. They didn't even describe how each bike handled the same obstacles differently. The graphics sure were cool though.

I read dirt wheels for pure entertainment, and don't take much of anything they have (opinion wise) to heart. I look for specs, new models, available products, etc. But other than that.......Man what a biased magazine!! As for the LE shootout, your right you know whats gonna win it........The WARRIOR!!!!

Who cares if they have LE model shootouts or not? Until THey have something on them besides different colored plastic and frames, they arent worth any more dough to me.

I thought the black plastic added [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. And its the same with me, I read dirtwheels for sheer entertainment and enjoyement. But not too look for useful information, cause most of the time they are lying. LOL. But this shootout might not be so biased..... Cause there all Yamahas.. LOL.
