is it worth the diference in money between the cannibal and the speed.

 

If you can get a cannibal with the rear holeshots, and ohlins shocks the canibal is a much better value in my opinion. You can pick up some speed front ohlins for around $200. The early 03's have the holeshots and the rear ohlins. But these machines will need some updates that should have already been done by the dealer. Just check and make sure that they have been done. You can get the cannibal and have it remapped to anything you want. The only advantage the speed has is the tag handlebars and a better seat. But if you are looking at the late 03's with the fox rear shocks and carslile tires I would say go with the speed.

 

Mountainman hit it directly. I will add though that either machine would be an eye opener! Good Luck.
