That's a good deal on the Blaze. I like to buy Cannibals and do what I want to it cheaper. I have a 02 Cannibal that I can make some one a good deal on.

 

Well, since he's only got one and I haven't purchased it yet. I will give you the name as soon as I figure out whether or not I am going to buy it. Not to be a D!ck, but at that price, you get the idea.

 

as far as not believing that the dale can beat your raptor in a straight line. lets just say we will be sitting at the finish line eating an apple when the raptor gets there. the dealer has'nt let you ride the blaze ? most dale dealers will let you test ride them. my sons sponser takes them to the tracks and puts up a sign that says free test rides. you will never regret taking the dale over the raptor.

 

I am sure that the Cannondale could eat a stock raptor, and would probably give a piped and intaked raptor a run. But a 686, I'm not sure, I will know soon enough! I don't have any dealers within 50 miles. So I probably won't ride one till I pick it up from the dealer. I am sure it will be worth the cash, I can't wait to get it.

 

we ran against a 686 about a month ago . my son was on a stock cannibal at the time. it had 18" turf tamers on it and thats it. the raptor had the big bore kit, walsh a-arms pep shocks, extended axle. my son puled the holeshot by about 3 quad links on the raptor. he cornered better than the dale but we pulled him bad in the straights. my son ran first and the raptor ran second. that was on a stock cannibal, we now have the big boy. the moto. believe want you want but we run against raptors every now and then and they do not compare with a dale. sorry but its the truth. like i said before get the dale, you wont be sorry.

 

just telling you the way it was, didnt drag race. we do our racing on a mx track. bu there is 2 other forum members here that was at that same race. ask them. as a matter of fact special posted about that very race. motown was there too. as far as all them problems you mention your bud had, we have had none of them and we are on our second dale.

 

Mark is tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Tricked out Raptor and a bone stock,no I'm lying it wasn't stock it had 18" tamers on it and it comes with 20' holeshots. Dude I couldn't belaeve it either. The dale is no JOKE!

 

<< mark your a little off there .....I personaly own a 686 raptor and ride with a blaze ....yes the blaze is fast but it will NOT even get close in a drag race ....trails the blaze is better ....ken my friend with the blaze is selling it due to it breaking down all the time. they over heat ,spit oil,and just shut off sometimes ....he decided to finish the racing season off on his 310r >>




No he's not. A Blaze is NOT tuned for drag racing. A Blaze is the slowest of all the Cannondales in a drag race. The throttle response is tuned for the woods, not the drag strip. And as I've said before Biggy, your friend's dealer sucks! He's overfilling the oil (causing it to spit oil) and there is an update now to take care of that, and his overheating and shutting off problem is due to mapping and poor maintence.....don't own the quad if you don't know how to take care of it...

 

Thanks for the help guys. I just put the down payment on the Blaze, I will pick her up in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!
