Yep, no bergs in the feb issue, bit on the dakar though.
Have to say the jan test is a bit weird, the broken italian english makes me curl up at times.
Some of the technical bits were ok if you could decipher them.Then there is their choice of bikes for a shootout !
QUOTE The TM144, Husky WR300, Husky TE310, KTM400exc, Husaberg fe570. Different technical proposals united by a transversal motivation, that of arriving by choice and not by exclusion, because one is convinced that, according to how one interprets an off road plated bike, it has to be "that one" END QUOTE :shock:
Err , no mate, youve just pulled a load of bikes from the back of your garage and added the fe570 on the end.

Then you gotta chuckle at the 'Our Opinion page'
QUOTE FE570 'Easy and demanding' "The displacement is for trained riders, the handling is good for the amateur rider and is below the potential performance level". 8O

Mmm , well, i wont have whatever tablets hes on :lol:

Did you guys see the March 09 450cc off road " Dirt Bike " shootout? 7 electric start bikes and the KTM 450 XCW took it with the Berg 2nd and Honda 3rd.

That sounds more like it. I will look out for that.
I like the dirtrider tests where they do a timed course and the riders swap over on all the bikes and give their opinions of each bike.
I just wish they would throw in the bigger bores like ktm 530, fe570, bmw480 into the same category for comparison as well.
