Nothing but praise for the new 250 pound motocross bike from all the mags.

Magazines are only mouthpiece for the Industry. When you read a motocross magazine, picture yourself standing on the dealership floor hearing the salesmen sing you the article in barbershop quartet fashion.

Because, other than in a few maverick cases... That's basically what's happening when you read those magazines.

I think 4 stroke dirtbikes are a phase, kind of like "Glam Rock" in a way. You see the whole world subscribing to it, and you wonder how everyone could be choking down so much Kool Aid and Spam... Then 10 Years later, nothing's left but the timeless stuff from before and after..

The thing I want to see is.... I want to see pictures of that bike from the "Unflattering" angles.

Have you ever noticed how the magazine photos never show 4 strokes from the top, so that you can see those RIDICULOUS rear number plates that have to be almost completely horizontal to go around those huge silencers.... Enough that the back of the bike is as wide as like 3 seats???

Those bikes look like they sound....

But hey guys, don't forget, that's 250 pounds of pure racing technology that makes that faster than a military jet  :P
