[QUOTE="biglou, post: 479414"] Overall I agree with Pantsman, TM-Frank and Chad. I still like to read the shootouts/reviews and take the info for what it's worth. Keeping in mind that impression is a very subjective thing. I still like to think that I can gain some insight based upon what the different test riders in the mags say based upon their riding style, experience and size/weight. That, along with some test rides of my own lets me learn what they are talking about when they describe a certain characteristic of a bike and whether or not I like that trait. I would NEVER let a mag be my sole source for determining which bike to buy. I also wholeheartedly agree with Chad that for me, and just me, that it is almost a matter of "What is my favorite color?" when buying a new bike. It's that new bike lust and bumming rides on other people's bikes that tells me what my next bike will or won't be based upon my own experiences on those test rides. As an example, there is a VERY popular big fourstroke that I really, REALLY wanted to like. But after riding a couple of them, I have no desire to ever own one now, and quite frankly, I don't know how the fast guys make them go so fast. Again, it is obviously just my own subjective opinion, but this particular bike just won't work for me. Will it work for you? Maybe, even though it is at the bottom of my shootout list! :) [/QUOTE]
