What bikes would you like to see featured in VMX mag?

It may be a little off the VMX track but Shane Watts did a comparison of his 1997 KTM 125 and a new 2014 KTM 125 with suprising results. It shows that progress may not provide the leap forward as much as promoted.

... some who seem to almost boast that they don't buy the magazine.

The bikes you do or don't feature are only a tiny part of why I don't buy the magazine anymore.

The main value of the magazine was it's sense of inclusiveness and positivity - the magazine was for anyone with an interest in old dirt bikes - it didn't matter if you were a millionaire collector with a private museum, or an Average Joe trying to keep an old shitter race bike running, you could feel a sense of inclusion in the sport from the pages of VMX mag - you knew you weren't the only bloke on the planet with the same interests and/or challenges.

That feeling seems to have disappeared.

Ken  From my own point of view, thank you for coming back onto the forum and giving your thoughts.

The forum has settled down a lot lately probably because of lot of members have given up.  I now take a lot of what is said tong in cheek.  There are members who like to shit stir and sometimes I fall into that category too.  Everyone should google "internet troll".  It is interesting.

Anyway from my point of view I would like to see more Maico stories.  I know Firko would love to write them.

As for those who say they no longer buy VMX Mag, I bet they stand in the newsagent's and read it anyway.

Good idea the Maico thing Kev. You could fill the first installment with all the bits you have to replace to get them to start, brake, handle, be reliable and safe. Better still do it over three issues. You'll have them hanging from the rafters.

Hello Ken - long time no hear from you - and as usual - well written 

It is always, as said here previously, can't keep everyone happy all the time - and usually they are the ones who complain.  Maybe a bigger dose of 1/2 glass full is needed - if the mag has lots in it I go through from one end to the other - if not - well then there is next time.  I don't expect the world to cater for me!
