Well, Im once again intrigued by this machine. I hear there's lots of differences between machines. Can you tell me each difference, and give the nod to which is best? Right now im getting ready to check out one with ohlin shocks, itp and holeshots. Good? bad?

 

Speed - Cannibal differences currently are:
hydraulic clutch
tag handle bars
1K higher rev limit

Like I said though, that's currently the differences. If you can still find the Cannibals with the Ohlin shocks, especially if it has the reinforced swingarm, get it over the Speed. But I do like the seat on the speed alot better, grippier!!

 

Well, im primarily aiming at a cannibal, the speed is simply overpriced. The one im looking at right now has ohlins, itp and holeshots. As far as it having a reinforced swingarm, i dont think it does but i could be wrong. What if it doesnt?

 

The swingarm should be fine, even if it isn't reinforced. I can't remember how to tell, I think the reinforced one is "boxed". While the non reinforced one is "open"

 

oregon is right, the old one is open in the rear, but I havent heard of any problems with the "old" one, mine is the old one and it looks trick to me and the dealer told me he hasent had one problem. Get the cannibal, I have the same one you have been loking at and it rocks!! Plus those Ohlins are worth 1500$
