Default thinkin of buying a Cdale, couple Q's

guys ive been keeping my eye on ebay, and the trader and seeing some great deals, but was wondering if one of you could give me a real quick rundown on the differnt models, i see them all over for differnt prices, cannabal, blaze, moto and more.. i think moto is the best right? would be using it for half dunes half ametuer mx track, probably most interested in the next one under the moto.. which is that.. cause i want to run axis shocks, not Ohlins as on the moto... anyway give me some advice guys,
thanks

ohh yeah any of you raced the YFZ yet.. how did you do, please be honest, id hate to pic up one of these kick *** Cdales then get smoked by the YZF at the sand drags...as for the track.. im sure rider skill alone would make up for much more than the small advantages of the two on the track.

Moto, Blaze, Glamis, Speed and Cannible. When C-dale motorsports was in buissness The dealer costs where around: Moto 10,500, Blaze 8,820, Gamis 6,920, Speed 6,720, Cannible 5,950. The moto was the mx version. The blaze was xc. The glamis was a duner. The speed was an all around as was the cannible. They all used the same frame and motor the differance was the efi mapping, higher rev limiter and better shocks on the higher end models. The moto also had different a-arms than the others.

Ohlins are on all dales speed through moto so whatever you buy you will get them. Unless you buy a used one that somebody has changed them out. I have some axis ordered that should show up today. I'll post how they compare to the ohlins.

I have a speed with a south bay moto compIV 450 motor. The thing is fast and handles great! That said if you want to mx and play in the sand I would get the yamaha. The main reason you will have parts easily availible and dealer support. You can find Dales really cheap for what you are getting and if you want to put up with the incoveince of parts and can do your own maintence get one.

Wait untill the trx 450r comes out maybe we will see r's drop in price some. California r's are outrageous $$$. I've had mine since new in '86 so I guess I was lucky!
