    Damn it! Where the women? This magazine generally has a ton of women just sitting around. They could have thrown in a couple on each bike.

    It's nice to see a non motorcycle magazine try to inform the uneducated masses about a VFR's benefits. I do however find it difficult to lend any sense of legitimacy to the article when Maxim states the VFR 1200's horsepower at 135. It they're going to talk bikes with their readers than they ought to get the most basic information correct before they publish. It's not like the true numbers are difficult to come by and/or verify. Not to say that the factory numbers are all that accurate, but Maxim could have at least looked before they started pulling arbitrary numbers out their hole.

    Yeah, Havcar is right, get you're shit strait. I do like that they seem to be pushing Rider Courses and ATGATT. Definately needs more mostly naked chickies for that mag though.

    I'll take my reviews from 'cycle mags, not some lifestyle rag with no clue about technology.

    What's next, new computer comparisons in People Magazine ??

    Maybe Honda bought that review?? Impossible ??

    Maxim mag is still published? What a shit rag mag.

    Any top 5 or 10 list that has HD in the rankings isn't credible.

    C'mon guys, everyone knows Maxim is the defacto arbiter of all things cool and manly. Unless youre over 16yrs old mentally or chronologically...

    Everything I need to know about VFR's I get from VFW.

    I stare at the tits and ass that come with Maxim anytime I'm at Borders.

    Perfect.

    Great. Now I have pizza and beer all over my keyboard!

    If Maxim magazine didn't have chicks on the verge of naked in it they wouldn't make it a month. I actually tried to read one once and I'm pretty sure it made me more stupid that when I started (which, prior to that I thought was impossible).

    Only thing i ever got from Maxim was that article about the politest way to ask your lady to shave......."down there."

    What, you missed that ??

    Limericks as poetry
    Are naughty decievers
    Mine was more rhyme
    Of a bald bare beaver
    Done up in iambic pentameter
    At least in this parameter.

    Now I'm wondering if this mag that everybody seems to be reading for free at thier local newstands instead of buying the darn thing are not aware of the horsepower drop between the crank end and where the rubber meets the road? Or maybe by the time they reach home and sticky keyboard there might be some confusion between the mag in question and The National Inquirer.
