.·1997 OFF~R6AD :BUYER'SGUIDE
hinking about purchasing a new off-road
bike? Well, good luck. There are many offroad bikes out there to choose from, so many,
in fact, that we were unable to run photos of
every bike because of space limitations.
Instead, we picked a couple of motorcycles from
each manufacturer that we felt best represented their
complete lineup of off-road motorcycles. Plus, you
might notice that not every manufacturer is listed,
such as some of the smaller companies such as TM,
Gas Gas, ADB and Mako. That's because some of the
manufacturers Simply don't have photos or specifications for their '97 models yet. Husqvama (Cagiva)
was only able to supply us with specifications for its
'97 off-road lineup without photos or suggested ..
retail prices. Keep an eye on our annual, year-end
buyers guide in issue number 50, where we should
have a more complete buyers guide that will include
both street and dirt motorcycles.
