Does any one know why DW left the Traxter and the AC out of the competition between the Sportsman, Ruby, Magnum, and QuadMaster.

 

Because they dont know how to run a publication!

 

bombardier didnt have an add in that issue! hehe

 

You mean they put in two Polaris bikes and not one of the two Artic Cats 500 either ,plus the Traxter? Dirtwheels think they can name the King 500 4x4s while leaving half of them out of the show?

 

They said they were testing 500's with AUTOmatic transmissions. I would like to see them test the Traxter, AC and Grizz also. Not just for one ride, but for a long period, i.e. 2-3 years. Now that the Traxter will have the new auto tranny soon (that is different from Polaris, Honda, and Yamaha and AC), it would be good to see what the views are.
But, as with any magazine, you have to realize it is not Consumer Reports. They are trying to sell magazines, not provide a scientific comparision.
