[QUOTE="CR Swade, post: 194384, member: 21423"] This is tough for me, because I have always subscribed to MXA. I've defended them against the bashers. Argued w/ Rich over them. But after this last issue, I've got to pull off the track and get off of the MXA moto-sled. I've seen bad tests for the past 10 years, but the new 450 test is stupid. I've ridden the thing and it does not handle like a oil tanker. THAT distinction goes to my 91 KX250. Also for the record, I enjoy riding an XR400, so don't take me wrong on this-the new CRF450 feels nothing like a 400. It revs much faster, has no engine braking and has a very racy feel to it. The test would have you believe this thing was straight out of the BSA factory. For the umpteenth time, MXA's ad budget and personal preferences got the best of them-after 20 years, I wash my hands of them. Oh, in addition to this-please don't think my obvious Honda bias is fueling this. I have lived w/ funky CR tests for almost 10 years. I have also written off goofy KTM tests-my Katoom was fast and a joy to ride (but not according to MXA). But this last attempt at objective journalism (which I don't feel was ever meant to be objective), was sooo transparent that it actually insulted my somewhat limited intelligence. MXA-you've been a bad date. You have never responded to any attempts to praise you, stand up for you and now I'm dumping you. What a bunch of dorks.:mad: [/QUOTE]
