They are very fun to ride. Very predictable, and very reliable until you start to modify various parts. They usually don't have problems but mine is the only exception that I've heard of.

Runs - better than any other 4stroke out there maybe minus YFZ
Top speed -mid to high 70's I would say.
Reliable - if you are willing to do some preventative things they are.

LOL - and thats why Jeff Stoess is one of the top GNCC riders on his stock Blaze.

They are probably the best mudding sport quad from what I've seen... flat out amazing.

How could any sport quad suck at trail riding?

Are you upset cause they are faster? lol

yea my buddy has one and its only a year old. it sounds god awful and i would never recomend the quad to a person who goes through any snow, mud or rough terrian. and yea theyre fast but theyre only good 4 one thing racing. if i had sponsers to help me pay for the little nik nak **** dats going to tear up on dat c dale id get one. on second thought id rather have a polaris with no sponser

They all have that wonderful sound - it is from cut gears that are stronger and cause less friction - like a dragster. You want performance it is gonna have downfalls - one is the loud engine noise.

Still don't know what you are smokin about the mud/snow/rough stuff - suspension is great and they do well in mud. Only reason they wouldn't is tires.

You can't compare your 400 with 24" tires to a Dale running 20's.. lol

Polaris' have plenty of problems too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

You should race the GNCCs they are plenty muddy. With that scenario you'd be in the top 10 in the nation.

Bdazz Sorry you feel that way . My speed is just plain awsome in dunes, snow and trails . I havent really taken it "muddin" yet and dought I ever will. I gave it up years ago. Just got sick of changing brake pads and wheel bearings in my Hondas and Im sure it would be the same on the cannon. With a tall first gear they arent much fun for slow put put riding where other quads are probalbly more suited.
