More Fuel for the "Which Is Faster" Debate!

I don't have it in front of me, but as I recall the bikes topped out in the low 70's??? Anybody got the article??? And, as I recall the Honda had a top speed that was also just a smidge faster.

Stock Hon - 78.9 - 14/38 - 20" tires
Stock Yam - 78.3 - 14/38 - 20" tires
The bikes used in testing the gearing and tires for top speeds both had HMF pipes, but the stock runs were there for comparison.
I'm not saying that either magazine is right or wrong, but there should be some kind of explanation for the difference. Other magazines have tested the 2 450 quads in the low 70's, so there doesnt seem to be a consensus.
