I have a very clean heavy moded 02 raptor with all the extra performance internal mods +,pipe system,+2 swing ,new tires, so on so on and am thinking about trading some one for a Blaze or speed is that possible?? Any input if you think somebody will do that??

I would think that you could work that deal pretty easy. New Speeds are selling for like 5k and new Blaze's for around 7k, if you can find any 2003s left around. But I would imagine you could get that to work and I think the 'Dale is a better machine all around. Good luck! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Thanks for the input.

step away from the crack pipe PAT. Wake up you are having a bad, bad dream I HOPE. That lack of air in NM is affecting your brain. Little Sahara is a lot lower and the air is easier to breathe.

 

Sorry Mark but I get this way some times. I get rid of my vehicles every two years because I get bore with them. I just get a wild hair sometimes and if I don't get a Dale I might get a Pred...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] who knows what I might do. A guy I work with that I have been building his turbo car is wicked with computers and said he could do custom mapping for me. I have two deals going as of now with a Dale and a Predater so we shall see. I have had a lot of bike and I like seeing what I can do with them and I want to try a something different. I know I'll be going down in power but hey that all the fun in it!!!!

 

You should jump on a blaze if you could. Thier front shocks are much nicer than the speeds fronts . Performance wise the the predators are as fast as a cannibal and just a hare behind the speed and blaze . The dales are much lighter than the raptors or predators . They are all sweet rides , I had to make this decision last year and when I was able to compare them all side by side the Cannondale Speed won for me with the magura clutch,EFI ,alloy frame,TAG bars , shocks,better mileage,lighter wieght, longer suspension travel,stainless exhaust. It was the same price as the Raptor and the dealer threw in a D&M kit($300) and $200 parts credit. The predator was too new at the time and being a Polaris I wasnt willing to wait till they proved themselves(which they have) As far as reliability I have had no failures or breakdowns with over 100 hours on it but I did every update when I bought it. Many Dales have not had my luck but I think a mid 02 models might have been the best.

 

14mins is just mad because Yamaha didn't pay for all of his new trannys. I would trade 3 Raptors for any Cannondale. Ride one you will love it.

 

thanks for the input guys!!!!!!!! The love my rappy but just talking out loud to what people think about the other quads out there. My rappy is the 6th bike I built I'd just like to see what I can do with another kind of bike???MAYBE!!!!

 

Jbomb- I am not mad that yamaha gave me a **** poor tranny 2 times. lol (sold is the better word)
