I got the issue last Saturday. The CRF's Only bike fared very well, burned clutch drama and all. Overall, Chris Denison had nothing but praise for the bike. He talked about having reservations about the Rekluse at first, but said by the end of the test period he came to appreciate it.
The Thumpertalk bike got dissed pretty hard by Jimmy. He lit into TT for making a super-moto bike for a Dirt Rider review.
The rest of the bikes got pretty nice reviews as well. The KTMtalk bike review was I'm sure more reserved than all the KTMtalk guys wanted.
Overall, the article felt a little tamer than it could have, considering all the trash-talk that happened building up to it. Still, a good read, and very interesting after having seen it from both sides now. (The building, and then the reviewing)
