16 years in advertising is my "insider" source. Advertising is, most of the time, code for deception. The art of deception increases sales. Ever wonder why every year they come out with a bigger and better toothbrush? Does the same thing it did last year but it has a whole "NEW" and "Improved" claim.
People behind the scenes know and work with each other. They are given a task and a lot of times are given a basic outline in which to write from.
"The truth is out there!" That is in forums like these. Real testing. Real riding.
Most new machines run good. They should get a machine and test it for a year and then give an evaluation. After running the dog crap out of one for that long, you could write a review that might be a lot different than what you are used to reading.
Like the old saying goes, "Don't believe everything you read." Even what I write!

 

word..

 

Actually it's a good thing that you don't believe that statment is true and an even better thing that there is enough other people out there that don't believe that either. Otherwise the DW rag would not exist. With that said, I bet that if i payed you enough money you would say / post what I said. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Prolly take more money than i have. But you get my drift?

 

Scooter, I do certainly agree with you about the first post, that was kinda funny. Polaris generally does get the short end of the stick from the mags - why are they getting rave reviews now? Well, that is a question we'll leave unanswered.
