And it's complete bloody bollocks as most mag reviews tend to be!

My response to it:
The TA has only 2 stars for comfort? Well I must have a bloody strange ass then cos it's the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. And I had a Corbin seat on my Divvy 9.
The XT is the best on motorways? So a bike without a fairing is the best for sustained high speed riding?
And explain how they can give an XT 2 stars for a fairing which it doesn't even have?
And only 2 stars for the TA engine which is considered probably the most robust on the planet?
If you're going to use those bikes for what they are designed for (adventure touring/dualsport use), then the TA is the one that you'd trust your life to.
I believe the review was conducted by an 18 year old who rode each one round a track, between bursting pimples and polishing his bling. :lol:
