I should have explained myself better, obviously it makes a difference with sales, I've made many posts in the past about this. I meant it for riders who take these tests seriously as a "which bike is best" test to figure out which bike to buy. These idiotic tests don't help for say the rider who would actually be more comfortable on a Yam or Honda or...etc. What's funny is that it makes even more of a mockery of the US mags who test very few bikes and whose results are very different.
For sales, I'm happy for GasGas, for the rider who reads these mags looking for the best bike for him/her, it's plain sad, and yes, there's plenty of those riders out there.
