If you have liked the grizz get the raptor.

Definitely the Cannondale Cannibal, you won't be disappointed and you'll blow the plastic off all Raptors, DS650's, 400EX's, etc.

Briansgi- cannondale was not a choice. Do you ever ride at Little Sahara? Me and the boys are coming on the 13th of April. Care to TRY to blow the plastic off our raptors and 'shee?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Was planning on going to LS this weekend for snake hunt weekend but the weather forecast doesn't look too good. So if we don't go this weekend, we probably will be at LS the following weekend. Love to race you guys. I have a Cannibal and my son has an '86 250R, look us up if you see us? Do you guys go to LS often, we make it probably once a month, it's only a 3 hour drive for us.

briansgi- this will be my second time. Went 3 years ago. 3 raptors and a 'shee are headed up to ride with BiggerISbetter. We usually head to kermit. (60,000 plus acres and very few riders) We here all the fast machines are at Little S. I have only seen 2 cannons in action. 1 stayed away from the drag stip, and the other did not have paddles. I was already loaded up when he showed up. Since he did not have paddles i did not unload after watching him run 2 times. He did not fair well. He lined up with the piped 'shees instead of the raptors. I do not know why. Anyway hard to tell without paddles. Would like to meet up with you if you are going on the 13th.

Badfordman- if you do not care about reverse, ride hard , give the cannon a try. If not raptor all the way. But the z400 is aabout here. Choices, choices, 2 years ago not as many. Times were simpler in the olden days!

buy the 400 it's ten times more reliable.and they handle better and you can build it to be just as fast as a raptor or faster and lighter.the thousand dollars you save on the 400 you can put that back into and have a serious machine.good luck. and stay away from the craptor.

Ten times, I really doubt that. Thousands you save? You are such the kidder.

I'll have to agree with the fast quads at LS. I'm amazed at some of the stuff people bring there with +10 swingarms, running NOS, alcohol, etc. Just when you think you're pretty fast, someone comes along with one of these machines and melts your plastic right off!! Hope to see you guys there if we don't go this weekend. They are calling for 50% chance of rain both Sat and Sun so we might wait till the following weekend. They are also limiting the number of wrist bands to 3000 for snake hunt weekend, it would be very disappointing to drive 3 hours and find out your number 3001!!
