Post Floyd Clymer, motorcycle magazines had to figure out how to balance criticism with insulting their advertisers and still give the reader an "honest" evaluation of the machines available. Giving all machines in a comparo a "best at something-or-other" pat on the back was one way of attempting to do so. Readers had (and have) to take all evaluations with a grain of salt, realizing the machines were only in the testers' hands for a limited amount of time along with the caveat "your results may differ".
