Of a victory in the dirtwheels shoot-out. Since we are not comparing my favorite raptor against the Dale. I will defend you guys. And yes i have ridden them both. Good reporting is hard to find nowadays. I think cannondale is getting there, and is clearly better than the z400.

Yup, hard to argue with someone who thinks that performance is behind the rest of the pack in a cookie cutter quad.LOL

I believe that DirtWheels has gotten so bad ,that their shootouts don't matter to anyone anymore unless they are relatively new to the sport. These are the guys falling into bogus claims by the magazine who don't know differently.

Us "oldies" know better......we learned years ago....LOL

Two BIG mistakes in the last two months have been:

[1]They can't tell the difference between a BigBear and a Kodiak when the tank decals have been removed.

[2]They claim the BearTracker has front drum brakes when they have an UPCLOSE shot of the FRONT DISC brakes on the same page!!!!!

Maybe I should apply for a job there as proofreader.....nawww....waaaaaay too much work and the Suzuki money would only last for so long.

Most of us understand that it is purely advertising dollars that create adds not facts.

14mins,

They can't do that remember when they do their pipe shoot outs. "We called BRAND X and they never got back to us. We tried calling several times and they said they where behind in production" on and on. We all know that's a lie if it's about Cannondale.

I say we all send an E-mail to the knucklehead Clown Doctors and help have them explain how something can lose every event and still get the Gold. This isn't Ice Skating for gods sake. LOL
