I think they have a form letter for Gas Gas articles.
They liked everything but the seat and suspension.
It was a pretty milktoast article IMO.
They liked the Beta and Husaberg the best. (Surprise, they like the KTM clones!)
They like the Beta because it was "closest to a Honda" and the Husy won their affection by using sheer brute force.
The Gas Gas and Aprilia each had strong points
other than their suspension setup. They really didn't like the Aprilia FI settings or weight.
Apparently the KTM PDS standard of "excellence" was not met by any of the exotic bikes.
Only one graph silently shows that the Gas Gas had the shortest endurocross time.
As lukewarm as the article was, I guess we should be happy we got the ink.
