So anyways, I just started skimming through the new Mag with the reviews on the big bores. I just had to stop. The Grizzly is listed as a 750 in one instance, the biggest "con" listed with the Rincon is that it won't start in gear (it does...squeeze the front brake lever idiot), the rincon looks too much like its smaller siblings (the Rinny looked like that first. People liked it, so they redesigned the rest of the line's plastics), its apparently too small (yeah, they should all be Polaris big). Apparently, because it has less measured suspension travel, it doesn't ride as plushly as the likes of a KQ or Grizz (I have a KQ. The Rinny ride is more plush). Inches of suspension travel is not the only factor in a plush ride.
They call the diff lock system on the Brutes a "con." They say "Its odd." Its probably the best locker in the industry, and the only one that the rider can control the level of engagement. They say the Grizzly "doesn't do anything great." Oh please..I'm not big on Yanaha utes, but some things are just undeniable.
Oh yes, apparently the BF750s handling is right up there with the Outty 800R. This one left me speechless, based simply on what has been printed in prior reviews that totally contradict this.
People, some of these machines haven't changed one iota since the last time you tested them, and things you hated then, are now top notch...and vice versa.
Okay okay. different riders will have different opinions, but lets forget about the opinions and at least get the facts straight, such as the examples in my first few statements. This forum stands zero chance of getting any busier if the parent magazine isn't top notch. You have 58 pages in thiss issue. 15 or 16 of them are devoted to advertising, and you don't have ATVSport to babysit these days. Long time subscribers will know what I am talking about. Avoid inaccuracies and self contradiction at all costs.
.........just sayin.

My buddy has a subscription...when I saw the new issue at his house it looked like a brochure. I still dont understand why they never combined the 2 magazines instead of just dropping Sport. I'd say a large majority are interested in ALL sections of atvs, not just one.
07 z400-Yoshimura R3 full system,Uni filter,White Brothers CDI,Hydrodynamic +2 ST A Arms,G Force +2 axle,TCS Shocks w/remote rezzies,PEP stabilizer,RazrMXrears on ITP T9s, KendaMX fronts, Skat Trak 7paddle Haulers on Douglas .125s....I need more sig room

Downsizing and restructuring are the first clues of a companies demise. How many good people were lost to ATV mags rivals, in the decision to end ATV sport mag. If they can't even keep technical specs accurate during a review; who's going to take the review itself seriously? Like we say in construction; It's easier to build a new stronger foundation, than try to repair a cracked and crumbling one.

Sounds a bit like those who wrote the reviews did not actually ride the quads.

Calling a illegal immigrant an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmicist". Both are criminals!

Anyone can look at a machine, and guess about it... then call it a review!

Well I haven't read this review (in the mag) but from what you say about it, there is no damn reason to. I don't even know why the hell they would publish something like that, I mean they have to know that someone would pick it apart and expose their stupidity. that's exactly what you did, Cc. You showed they don't know what the hell they are talking about, and completely switched up what they said in their last review.

Well CC, you had the ballz to call them out on a obviously slanted or falsified article.
