Well, the initial reaction is "they are a bunch of tossers". After some reflection though, I guess they are just saying what they are feeling. If the bike totally ripped I'm sure they would have said so. The real tosser in this case is the distributor or dealer who provided the bike. Why would you supply a bike to a magazine for a test, that you hadn't spent a couple of days on making sure it was set up and running the absolute best that it could be?
