I did find the online website, but they only post older reviews, and the new review was not available at that time.
The review you asked for a while back is finally online.

" That in itself tips the odds in the Zongs favor because it would probably take at least 1K+ to get the Honda close to the same level of equipment after the sale"

And don't forget the 4.2 gal gas tank.............................priceless, rj

Thanks for sharing. This is the second review I've read that mentions the ignition and luggage use the same key, but mine doesn't. Not complaining, just observation.

Good question. It's not even on the "Press" page at the CSC site.

They gave it a 6/10, which I think is really good, considering the Triumph Tiger 800 on the next page only got 7/10.

Did you purchase that magazine, and scan the review, or did you find the review online?

I subscribe, so I just scanned it. I looked online but couldn't find it. Is it legible enough? I have a higher pixel original scan.

I managed to read it, but I would truly enjoy a higher pixel scan.
