Any magazines want to take up the challenge?
agree!

Yeah...nowadays they are too worried about pissing off possible advertising dollars to do ANYTHING of that nature!! I know back in my sportbike days you would have them pitting manufacturer vs manufacturer bike comparo's...with all performance measurements listed (1/4 mile. 0-60, top speed, etc...) and they would rank each bike.....I am betting there isnt much of that anymore...unless its slanted towards the brand with the 2 page fold-out in side the front cover!! LOL

Big radius/heavy breather, big radius/heavy breather, on and on and on. Lets see some other options fellas?
Big radius with a bit better performance, not as ubitiquous as the 2:2 . . .
