At least according to this Dunlop ad in the new Racer X. I see lots of typos in magazines, and I know they happen, but this one had me scratching my head:

They are half right 7 titles, just not SX.

3 450 MX, 2 450 SX, 1 250 MX, and 1 250 SX.

What the record books could look like for him. Could have won his first 250 SX, should have won his last 250 SX, 2015 MX he had a great chance at it before injury, 2017 SX was within his finger tips, 2018 pants gate and injury set him way back.

250SX doesn’t count. If it did MC would be a 9 Time SX champ.

MC 'would' have 8 sx titles and 1 national title. RC 'would' have 6 sx and 10 national titles. But you're right, 125 or, lites,regional, sx titles only count at the bank.

When a company like KTM listens to mag tests in MXA and makes adjustments..... print is still very relevant.

Yeah. I believe KTM is successful because they read reviews/shootouts and adjust their production bikes to that.
Every year I read MXA reviews and complaints about KTM, KTM updates the bike the following year.

Here just to say that I have never "come across" an MX mag.
Well, maybe in 1974 when the 125 Elsinore came out...

I can’t believe people don’t subscribe. The few that are left are like $20 a year and give you a $25 Rocky Mountain gift card or some kind of swag to subscribe. But maybe since I am about a year out from being 50 is why I read them. Can’t stand trying to read stuff on my phone.

I really should subscribe, I like having them around to thumb through once in a while it usually just ends up being an impulse by when walking by in the supermarket though lol

I reupped a month ago to MXA and Dirt Bike for $44 I think and I get a $50 RMATV card out of it. The way I see it they are paying me $6 to take the magazines for a year. Having said that there isn't much in the magazine that you cannot find online and I can usually find it more quickly that sifting through a stack of magazines to find that one article I am looking for from 4 months ago.

MXA and Dirt bike subscription gives me a $50.00 spendy at RMATV every year. I would subscribe even without that beni....

I enjoy turning pages.


How much you paying for Internet AND cell phone service per month.....and then getting inundated with ads everywhere on those platforms.

Exactly.


I've always enjoyed reading the bike tests and other articles. Jody is a national treasure. I do miss Super Hunky (Dirt bike) though.

The same I would pay for it without any moto affiliation like the rest of the world that requires it lol.

My comment was more of a joke than anything, I still appreciate a magazine here and there. I’m also a guy who would rather read articles on vital then watch a video.
