I know this is a C-dale forum but I think this bike is great, new information check it out!

WOW, I bet theres going to be alot of Raptors and EX's for sale if this doesn't have a bunch of problems like the early quadracers did. Lower seat height than a 400EX, and almost everything else is nearly the same(dimensions). I don't care what a quad looks like, but the Zuki get's my vote for the ugliest.

 

I dunno, I think they did a good job of mixing the Raptor and Ds 650's looks. I like it and hope to see a lot of them at the tracks. It's always nice to see more quads out there but for me, it's just extra special for a quad to be "raising the bar" like cannondale did. The more competition there is to make a good quad, the better they will make them on the track, which might give us quad racers a little more respect and appreciation.

 

i think it is funny it has a steel frame and still weighs less than the cannibal. that is the sweetest quad i have ever seen(production). it is probably almost as fast as the cdale and will handle better. it will cost over $1000 less than the cannibal!!!!!! WOW! you could put the extra $1000+ into the z400 and make it better than a cannibal. it will have less maintenance too! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, white or yellow?

 

Corndog you are an idiot. Lets see you bought a USED canniabal, wrecked it who knows how many times, cried till you got a new frame rail, crying about the 500 computer(wants free 1000) and all you do is put cannondale down. Now you want the Z400? Do you think they would ever replace the frame on a used quad that was wrecked? What if Suzuki upgrades the light in 6 months you gonna want a new high performance high out light also? give it a break. Where is the picture of your ATC70 anyway.

 

Corndog,
Dude, Cannodale went out of their way to please you and you have shown no appreciation. Since you hate Cannondale and your cannibal so much get rid of it and get the Z400 and quit posting in this forum.

 

Has it ever been confirmed that he has a Cannondale?

 

WOW!!!! Cornd0rk must be REALLY smart. He already knows the Z will out handle the Dale and he already knows that it will be just as fast (carb. w/ less power vs. inj. w/ more power... hmmmm). Not to mention the fact that it is just as light w/ a steal frame... sorry corndog, all motors don't weigh the same. Cannondale's (crappy aluminum frame that WILL fall apart in a couple of years, according to you) is very light but the motor is heavy compared to most other quads, which is why it's #'s are still up there a little. Have you sold the Dale yet??? I thought you were gonna buy a (LOL! less maintanance LOL!!) CRF 450? Well Weinerdog, hope you have a lot of fun on what ever you get but remember, the first thing that messes up on it is gonna cause you to think it's the biggest peace of **** made. Just look back on some of your old post where you were always ******* other people because of their rides and now you're always clownin on Cannondale. You know what us REAL riders call you... A POSER. Just like the people that wear Fox but don't even ride.

 

well the yz426 has a crappy old carb and it will kill any cannondale dirtbike in a drag. the crf450 has a crappy old carb and it will also kill the awesome cannondale dirtbikes(this is from what the guys at thumpertalk say, so don't tell me the cdale is faster). my point is the cdale weighs more!!! the aluminum frame was a must because the engine was so heavy. i would rather have a steel frame, and i bet you would too(but the engine is to fuggin heavy!). however, if the quad weighed 350-360(like it should) then i think the aluminum frame would be worth it(not very clear but i think you will understand what i am trying to say). if honda comes out with a crf450 quad(doubtful) then it will have a much better power to weight ratio. if yamaha comes out with a yz426(yz450???), which actually could happen, it will beat out the cannondales. when the big dogs come in cannondale won't look so good, the only reason why they are one of the best is because none of the others try.

 

Obviously you're quick to speak but your thinking has a little catching up to do. The C-dales motor IS heavy, and it is a BIGGER problem for the bikes. All the bikes are light and the Dale isn't, and also, the bikes aren't tuned down like the quads are... What do you think most quad motors are? They're HIGHLY tuned down bike motors, so you can compare dirt bikes all you want but when you get to a quad, you can't use the information from dirt bike speeds to make your point. What I am pretty muchly saying is... It doesn't matter what 2 dirt bikes can do against each other when you're talkin about quads because they are in totally different catagories.

Corndog Corndog... those are just words. How many people say that their stock Raptors will out run any c-dale? How many people told you that Santa Claus is real? Why don't you go by actions, like the fact that Jeremy Schell has pulled the holeshot (on his STOCK motored Speed) over Tim Farrs HIGHLY modded YZF 440 and Doug Gusts HIGHLY modded DRZ 440. Hmmmmm... like I said, how the bikes perform doesn't dictate how the quads will. Nice try buddy but don't YOU try telling ME Wazup.
