As a new subscriber (altho i didnt get Nov's issue). i wanted to laud your "2010 BOTY" article. Kent Kunitsugu did as masterful job. The complete use of the dyno & other charts & graphs were a truely wonderful thing! As I'm an old HD rider & had to spend a considerable $$ to make it fast & handle great, i strongly believe your ride should handle at it's optomim & ifn it takes aftermarket parts & service, then DO IT! I like a bike that handles well, ya know. One opinion if you dont mind: it should be Federal Law that ALL road tests contain those same charts. And i give you my pledge: as long as you guys keep using them to give your readers the REAL dope on things, i'll renew every time it comes around!
