Yea, my dealer said I should be able to pick mine up tuesday or Wendsday. I can't wait to ride it, should be a massive improvement over my DS.

Saw it at the dealer today, build #5. That is a bit scary to me. I think I'm gonna wait until maybe #205. It looks sweet though!!!

It would cost about $2500 to make the blaze into a moto, including tires/rims. That way you have a trail bike and a racer. I think this is a much better route than buying the moto and then making it into a blaze for trail riding. Anyone else thinking about doing this?

Why would you want to buy a Moto and ride it on the trails? If you are a racer/trail rider, I think I would get the Speed. If you have the money, I agree with you SparkyEX, I'd buy the Blaze, get some MX tires/wheels and a Tether Kill Switch and thats probably all you need. Not quite as good of a MXer as the Moto would be(width) but still very competitive.

CornDog, do you have to Quote everything? I said get the Speed because there are probably very few, if any Cannibal's left at any dealers, but I may be wrong, plus by the time you get the new GP you are probably at or above the price of a Speed(I also like the color scheme better on the Speed but who cares!)

i'll quote it for you. i think they look about equal when i saw the two next to each other. i wish they would have kept the aluminum smoke color of the fx, that was the sweetest looking color.

Good choice!!! Wish I could afford one, are you gonna sell your Shee? Send me an E-Mail (in signature) if you want to sell it, my Uncle may be interested and if I somehow have the cash, I would be too, if it's set up for MX.

The GP Control costs $450 or somethin like that from RS Performance. I'm thinkin that I'm gonna be doin a lot of ordering from them: Nerfs, a-arms, rear steel braided brake lines, and maybe a axle if they get something besides the $800 Titanium one. I talked to a guy from RS Performance and the price on the a-arms are a little over my budget as well. I am just gonna have to add on to my Cannibal though because there's no way I can afford the $12,450 Moto.

P.S. To RS Performance: Are you going to be getting any other axles. Also, are you going to sell shocks (Works) for the Dale too?
