Re: [ST] August 2003 Issue of Motorcyclist, what gives?



I do read tests before buying and I make special note IF all the mags in the
U.S. and in Europe agree regarding a bike.  Since that is rare I am usually
unaffected by the mags.  Also I would NEVER buy a bike without riding that
model.  Before I bought the Sprint I rode a VFR800 and was instantly cured
when I felt how gutless it was.  I rode a 3 year old Sprint with 28,000
miles on it and was sold.  Before I bought my ZRX I rode one and knew by the
time I got to 3rd gear that I had to have one.  The idea of spending
thousands without riding is absurd.
