[QUOTE="geremacheks, post: 476173, member: 28410"] The more pages that a bike manufactuer has of slick full page ads in a dirt bike mag gets better shootout scores? I believe this was implied. Come on. Don't be one sided or, holy hoof and horn polish, cynical. I can remember long ago tests of the KTM EXC 250 (2 stroke) being mentioned as probably the best off road bike of all time in the major dirt bike mags and there were no one or two page slick ads from KTM. And there were many good tests and shootouts after that, that KTM won clearly, and their ads in the same mag were minimal when compared to the big three. And do you remember Cannondales full page ads in the same issues where the editors bombed the poor engineering of their first bike in actual tests? And Honda's XR 400 has been getting poor scores for years now--backed up with all kinds of two page spread ads. My point is mags have to try to play fair. Their mag competition would jump on a single mag's throat if they saw an edge to critisize. And it would be happening right now. Look at the disparity of ads between Dirt Bike and Dirt Rider. If someone is cheating here, the word would get out fast. [/QUOTE]
