So you are saying that it is their best interest to give a certain brand a shoot out win? What happens to the four or five loosing brands? Yes the first fide and first tests are pertty much love fest but they do a pretty good job after that.
I think it was dirt rider??? but Suzuki told them that they would never give them another bike to test b/c they never said anything good about their products.
For the shootouts the mag bought a bike to test, and said that when there was something good to say they would.
No not all readerd are bias but we all like to think we qwn the best or have some brabnd loyalty.
I read the shoot outs not for a winner b/c the riders may not ride where I do but for how the bike performed.

 

As long as you buy a quad and it continues to give you enjoyment in your mind it will always be the best, so who cares what other people or magazines say anyhow. Just like I tell my wife, I subscribe to PlayB*** to read the articles [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I subsribe to quad magazines to read the ads.

The four or five other brands need to come up with more money if they want to win the shootout.

 

i am subscribed to dirt wheels, atv action, atv sport, atv magazine, and a bunch of others i cant remember. they are all great/
