You can forget about Rider, Motorcyclist, and just about every other bike magazine. Even good old pro-metric Motorcycle Cruiser's Jamie Elvidge seems to be joining the HD camp, thanks to the TC88B counter balanced Big Twin.In any published comparison of 500-800cc bikes, the svage only beats one, the Shadow 600VLX, which is a four speed, boat anchor grade bike. The LS650 has a very small fan base, and looking for decent remarks about it in the main stream motorcycle press is a waste of time. They see it as a joke, and likely will continue to do so.
