Test Rider Profiles
MotoUSA test riders don’t live inside the magazine box all year long, riding only immaculate test bikes and wearing free gear. They’re real riders who face real-world situations, which means they have favorite traits, dealers, tracks, contingency plans and support networks – which is exactly what you should be considering when making a new bike purchase. For the purpose of our tests, we demand they shelve biases and approach each machine with an open mind. But once the scores are tallied, we ask them to apply their individual life situations and choose which machine they would take for themselves if it came to spending hard-earned cash. These responses were not counted in the scoring process.
