Yammi 450 and C'dale
On my way to Black River Falls, WI to beat myself up on sandy woops, I stopped by a dealer who was rumored to have the new Yammi 450...sure enough there she stood. Nice, clean machine...kinda wonder how long a plastic seat latch is gonna last. Basically looks like a stipped down, and downsized Raptor.
There happened to be a brand new Cannibal sitting next to the 450, so I decided to perform a little "let's lift the quads and see how light they feel", by no means scientific, but can give a person a good idea. The 450 sure felt about the same weight. C'dale dry weighs 375....this again makes me think that Yammi's scales are a bit optomistic. Time will tell. The Cannibal, all shiny and new was being offered at $5000. Sure looks sweet. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

For 315 lbs dry that's still optimistic. Who cares about dry weight anyway. I'm sure it takes around 3 gallons of gas @ 8 pounds/gallon, so there's 24 lbs. 2 quarts of oil (approximately), so probably another 10 lbs. And then there's the water for the radiator. I'm assuming it holds one gallon, so....another 8 lbs. That gives us around 357 pounds....heck maybe they don't count brake fluid or water/acid in the battery either??? One of the guys on here weighed his, and it came in at 370 lbs full of gas and ready to run. Magazine "specs" are always way off. The only way to know the truth is to know someone with the bike or to have one yourself.
But....it doesn't matter how much or how little your quad weighs, if the rider is sporting a big beer belly. That power to weight ratio stuff everyone is talking about goes right out the window. People need to start talking quad + rider weight.

Stolen from the Yammi Forum!!! lol
"Came home from our quading trip to pick up the 450.
Its pretty sweet
my luck it is raining so no ride report
hopefully i'll be able to break it in in the next couple days
our dealer weighed it wet and it is about 380 the manual claims about 370 so there not too far off
i will be getting a few pictures up later."
About 380lbs makes me feel better than 350 and being scared that'll bend, twist, and break.
