Atvsport by far has the most honest reviews and are not paid off by big companies like YAMAHA. I like dirt wheels because it has alot more stuff in it.

ATV Sport seems to have a larger percentage of interesting articles.

ATV Sport by far.
Dirtwheels seems to hire 15 year old kids to write their articles.

ATV Sport has the more honest reviews. DirtWheels has hit the skids. I get DirtWheels for the same reason jbomb does.

I have to say, I'm glad to see what you folks are saying. My budget doesn't allow me to advertize in both magazines, so I had to choose only one. My ad starts running in next months ATV Sport. Although I greatly appreciate the feature article that Dirt Wheels did for me, I was very much given the impresion, by the associate editor that wrote the feature that I was wasting his time trying to talk to him. He never wrote down one word of the information that I told him, and the resulting mistakes in the article have been very frustrating. When little mistakes are made like calling my CARB kit a jet kit, it makes my prices look much worse than they are. Customers don't realize from the article that they get a full carb w/mount and jetted for the bike, they just think they are paying a lot for some jets. They show a picture of a Corillo rod, but never mention it because they forgot what it was they took the picture of. Over all, I'm increadably thrilled to be on the cover of Dirt Wheels, and plan to advertize with them when my budget allows. I recognize that they gave me some wonderfull exposure, and feel somewhat guilty for advertizing with there competator, but what all of you have to say re-afirms to me that I made the right choice. I hope that ATV Sport does a better article when/if they do. Maybe they will actually listen to me when I tell them something, or even write it down so they don't forget it.
