Moto 440, Blaze 440, and the Speed ARE HERE

I wonder what the mags will say to make these quads not as good as the 400EX or Raptor?
On the MX track they will probably say something like " Even though we had the faster lap times On the Moto, and it handled better even though it had wider a-arms and better suspension, we still feel the Raptor is a bit better." But in reality the Cannondales will whoop all over the Raptors.

Those pics are fake. Look at the moto. The a arms are all off. They are too low and stick out too much. Plus, the right a arm connects to nothin, no brakes, calipers or nothing. The left a arm has only one half of it there. The right shock is angled differently then the left one. Someone had a littl fun in photoshop but they can't even make it look real.

I talked to a Cannondale rep and he told me that the other quads will range in price by 1000-1500 each. wich puts the blaze at around $9000 and the moto at around $10,000. That is very reasonable if you ask me. Please keep in mind he was estimating so i could be totally wrong. I also asked about the pics. He said they are mock ups to give an idea at what they will be producing and not trying to pull one over us. I think the one i am after is a Speed with a wider rear axle. I like the totally adjustable shocks. The only thing i dont like is the silver. I would prefer it to be Red like the Cannibal.

The Moto looks so phat. The Blaze is great too for woods riders.
After seeing these quads, I doubt Honda's next high performance can compete. Honda probably will answer the Raptor, but for racers this is it. I just think there'll be a lot more racers because it's gonna be easy getting such performance out of a "STOCK QUAD". Sure it'll cost 4000 more than a 400ex...so you can really build up a 400ex. But...I mean, it may be cheaper to get a faster Banshee or 400ex or Raptor but that's IF YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF and then you don't get things like Fuel Injection or Aluminum Frame (which are my 2 favorite things).
In response to another POST, seeing the quads and looking into them more, "yes I think the 250r era is over" This I think also means the 2-stroke era is soon to be done with the Banshee's end.
