I am an avid dirt bike magazine reader. I like reading, and always want to learn more about bikes and biking. I do not race MX ( as much as it does interest me) and the newest bike I own is a 2000 2-stroke. And to my dismay, every magazine I pick up is all about EFI and 250f/450f race tests. Then there are the articles on how to make your 2008/2009 bike better, faster, blah blah blah. It's all crap for people who buy a new bike every year and are allready into racing. Not to mention they love dishing on 2strokes.
I don't wanna hear that crap! I want to know how to make my '94 and 2000 faster and better. I want to read reviews on products that you can get for a bike older than '06. I want to read an article from a pro rider on techniques for sticky situations on the trail. I would like to see a magazine that caters to the offroad, older 2-stroke bike crowd. I know there are more than a few of us that would probably agree with me.
And the few things I do find on trail riding are usually written for 2nd gear riders on 4-stroke 125 trail bikes. Not for those of us who get out on out 250 mx bikes and tackle the mountain as hard and fast as possible.
I do like to hear about new stuff,like the scoop on EFI (which I think is just stupid on an MX bike... but I don't know much) and what the big features of the new bikes are. But I am tired of that being the ONLY thing I hear about.
When are we going to get a magazine for us Travis Pastrana wannabees with older bikes and duct tape holding our rear fender in one piece?
