[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 347391, member: 277"] So why does it surprise anyone that European bikes came out on top? I also suspect that the results may be influenced by the area in which the testing was done too. Riding 2.5k miles throughout the American desert south west would probably favor a different machine than one ridden through tight European cities and/or the mountainous areas. I think a lot of '07 riders would agree that the throttle effort and response does detract from an otherwise good motorcycle. The testis, err, testers are asked to choose the best bike with no stake in the process, such as actually having to pay for it, maintain it or insure it.
