Ok correct me if im wrong here but I know MCN did an early group test in January of the ZX, CBR and GSXR and clearly stated that the ZX was the best of the bunch by wide margin. Now it seems MCN has changed its mind and after perfoming a group test of the four thous, it placed the ZX in last!!! Whats going on here guys. Ive posted a scanned attachement of the test just so you dont think I'm making it all up.

Maybe the sample they tested in January was doing much better than the one of the recent test?! The only possible explanation.

I can give you another explanation. Who ever pays the most for advertising gets the best review of their bike. That goes for just about all mags around the globe.

I'd rather say some writers are better than others in leaving their personal taste and preferences behind them.

MCN probably got a bike that closer to a real production ZX-10 than the factory massaged prototypes they tested earlier.
