I stopped reading the dirtrags years ago when i had my first ride on a gasser, because i read an article back in '98 that said the gasser was a slow turning, bid feeling,slow reving, european bike, that would be ok for a beginner,but just didn't compare to the jap bikes. What a crock of s*#t that was, and ever since then i dont think they know what they are talking about, or they just give reviews to the people who pay them the most for good reviews.
If you have to read a mag, read ADB, they love the gasser and have for many years, and never have anything bad to say about it.
I'll have to do some digging around, but they did a report on the 515 and they really liked it.
