Cannondale not fast? Did you actually type that out and believe it? So far, in the Dirt Wheels shootout it was the fastest machine out of the Raptor, Banshee, DS, and 400EX. Even if you claim the results are biased, that still makes the Cannondale fast. As for your Q-racer with the light porting and reeds, I doubt it. Does anybody know this guy?

Heheheh,

Imbackformore,
I was wondering if ANYONE was reading ANY of the posts I put up here. Glad to hear my posts are pissin u off--they should--you're just like any other 2-stroker who can't fathom the possibility that a *MODDED* 400EX (or any 4-stroke) could keep up with or actually take a 2-stroke quad. Wake up.

I would LOVE the chance to race you....drag, trail, track--whatever. Want to know why? Because I have never had the pleasure of racing a Banshee--until a few years ago, the fastest production quad outside of the 'Zilla. Even though my DS650 buddy (that I have taken in drags) has raced many Banshees and beats them, I would love the opportunity to give one a good race. I have NO IDEA if I could keep up with or beat one, but I would love the chance...win or lose...just to show what my quad can or can't do.

Imbackformore,
*ALL* of my posts are based on things I have actually done with my 416. If you don't believe me, fine...I really don't care, man. All I'm doing in these posts is letting people (that want to know) that for < $1k, you CAN make a 400EX a true performance quad.

It's all about riding fast and bragging about it afterwards.

Cool now we are having some fun here,i love to get replies like yours.Just so you know my Shee makes between 65-70 RWHP,i eat DS650,Raptors and whatever mods 400ex have for lunch.Dont get me wrong i dont have the fastest quad on earth,i lose to some Shees that are more modded than mine and to some highly modded LT500r.By the way it cost me 1200$ to get my bike to where it is at right now, i would love to see how much it would cost you to bring your EX to that level if it is even possible.And sure i would gladly race you even though i dont think you would have any fun at all,i am a good sport so maybe i would even let you ride my Shee after the race.

Juggalo, save your hair, it aint that serious partner.I hear ya, but I guess we aint agreeing and Hell I don't know the guy whos 400EX I rode, so I can't vouch for his machine.We got our lines crossed a bit and thats why I stressed the "No Body English" I mean just pullin the front up from power, not actually riding wheelies.The best wheelie machine ever was the 200X, low power and smooth power make a machine easy to wheelie,explosive power hinders it. A 400EX is alot easier to ride wheelie than an LT, but that wasn't exactly what I was talking about.Ridzhard, the Cannondale is a nice machine, nicer than a 400EX in theory, but your getting alright performance from a machine which is hard to get more power out of and VERY complicated to work on.I'd be happy to show you how fast my LT is Ridzhard, I'll be at the Badlands in August, if anyone here who enjoys living in denial would like to test their resolve, I'll let you know the exact date.

Word.

Imbackformore, I'd totally be up for a race, cuz right now, I can't believe what my 416 can beat. And if I lost, a ride on your Shee afterwards would be clutch...it sounds faster than a dress coming off on prom-night.

Look dude(s), I'm not lying about whom I've raced, and whom I've beat, or how much claimed RW-HP my 416 makes. If you don't want to believe what I say, fine, don't read it. I TOTALLY agree with what you said in an earlier post, Imbackformore, NO-ONE should be able to beat a QR500R in a drag...but I did, so yeah, maybe his quad wasn't tuned up or something, I dont know.

Yeah, I'm smokin' lotsa stuff lately...DS650's, QR250's, 430EX's and 406EX's to name a few. Like it or lump it.

~Sigh~ ... Glamis ... 2500 miles away... ~Sigh~

gary your probably gonna find this funny. you said you couldn't wheelie a 400EX with no body movement...well i rode this guys 200X and i could barely wheelie that thing with a clutch drop and a tug while in first gear. it felt like it had no low end at all. my friend tri-moto 125 was way better at wheelies. maybe your 200X has a 400EX engine and that 400EX had a 200X engine? lol i just thought that was weird. later.
