even if their scales were off. They would have weighed all the bikes on the same scale. sometimes the truth hurts.

Your right, and the truth does hurt, just not that much. I do not have the magazine, what are the reported weights of the other bikes?

I am going by memory here but I believe the weights were KTM=240, Husaberg=244 and Beta=248 and of course the Christini is 272 and GG=274

Look through the magazine and see how many KTM affiliated ads are in there...have you ever seen an ad for GG in DR? You can't tell me that that doesn't bias the reporting.

The scale is like a balance beam.. Cash deposited on the other side offsets the number. I wouldn't line a puppy's crate with that magazine.

No need to get all wrapped up on this, it is pretty clear that west coast dirt rags bleed orange cool-aid.....and....soon red, green and white....that is cool with me. We go through this EVERY time there is a shoot out in all of the dirt rags.....except for the east coast rags......they just seem to have a clue as to what is going on! I used to get all bent out of shape when I read this trash....I fixed the problem....no longer subscribe to this trash.... One of DR's test riders road a pumpkin at the a few months back at the Red Bull Hare Scramble in Austria......big deal..... I'm sure they could have picked about any bike, stock or modded...but went orange. Why not a Beta, Sherco, TM, GG, Fantic, Husky? They don't pay the bills... I don't have sour grapes....not the least bit....I ride what I ride, I don't need those keyboard jockeys to tell me much of anything. But one thing is for sure.....they sure know how to bling up a bike... Ohhh one more thing....was there a Husky in the test? If there was...where did it finish?

They said a Husky wasn't available due to the trouble the company has had in the last few months. But you know if they had gotten one to test, it would have finished right behind the Husaberg cause KTM owns Husky now....

Anyone who can't get the new Zoke fork to work for them is either lying, or retarded. There, I said it.
