Knowsalot,

See man, not to start crap with you, but for someone who just started in the forum, your one of the first to throw out sarcasim just asking for someone to smart off to you. Then you'll go on a "oh, I'm sorry if I offended you, that was not my intention, I'm a proud and responsible role model for the industry" BS line. So if you are really a parts guy with 15 years exp, a EX racer, and what have ya.....ya gotta be old! So please do alittle growing up, show your age and portray yourself as the individual that your preaching you are....other than just another 14 year old with an attitude. Cuz I'm not buying it.. You won't even list where your from or anything.

 

With good reason.

I say "not trying to start anything" in most of my posts because SOME of the guys here ARE 14 years old and when someone says something that they don't agree with, they automaticaly think that I was talking about THEM.

I also race cars on 3/8 mile dirt oval and am just as much into that hobby as I am with quads. I have NEVER seen the behavior on this board on any of the car racing boards. There, when there is a conflict, you won't hear name calling or insults to one's character. NEVER will you hear some guy who has only been racing for one year tell a racer with 10 years experience that he doesn't know what he is talking about regarding car set up or what type engine he is running.

That is why I have appologized to some people on here. Some were justified and others were just to get the guy to shut up and drop the subject. I am slowly getting used to the behavior of some of these guys, and when I do, let's hope that I no longer have to use the phrase "not trying to start anything"

KNOWSALOT

P.S. I keep my name and location secret for reasons that I posted on here two weeks ago. To sum it up: I enjoy what I do for a living and want to keep enjoying it......at my current dealership!! You guys have no idea how many dealers in my state are itching to find out who I am. The first three days I was here, I used my home state on here, but changed it when a neighboring dealer found out from a customer that someone from the area was posting things about how the dealership works from the inside regarding retail costs, warranty claims, dealer cost on parts and bikes,etc., etc. on an ATV forum. So I, for now, will keep it that way. I'm not that old either, but I can't tell you my age. Let's just say that I'm under 35.

 

ok ive had enuff with knownuttens bull ....1st Ive riden the new 450 and It will spank a 426 ...hands down no dought !!! I raced it aginst my cr250 wasant even close !!!no dealers can get therte hands on any more 450s yet there all sold out and have orders for more!!!! yea there a flop huh ...I put money down on one for a motor for my ex .Ill be selling the rest of the parts.....I wont be getting mine till jan. I tyried about 15 dealer ships for this bike ! all sold out !! knowsnutten your a flop ......staybehind the counter and get my parts .....beachhhhhhhhhhh

 

Cannondale better ante-up if they're gonna hang with the Z400. The difference in model prices with the hop-up stuff already available for the Suzuki motor.....SAYONARA Cdale

 

Great, now I am starting something but I still don't think the Z400 can compare to the C-Dale's. I know I haven't had any experience on either bike but according to people on here the C-Dale's are bad ****. Anyway, I would still want a cannondale because of a couple reasons.
1-made in USA
2-no need to upgrade
3-EFI
4-closest to "race ready" any manufacturer had ever made.

 

What does the Cdale cost? $7000.00 and up? I know that they are billed as such but I wouldn't exactly call them race ready, either. I'll bet the Suzuki bike costs about $6000 to $6500. I'll go with the Z400. Did you happen to notice the Baja 650? That thing has got my attention.

 

yea but think what that extra $500 gets you. Aluminum frame, EFI, not a Raptor,DS copy cat( I think). And they back up their products more than any other company. Plus it is made in the USA. I just think that if I had the extra $$$ I'd get a C-Dale over the Z. well, we'll see when it comes out. Speaking of which, someone on cycletrader.com says he has one already. DUMB DEALERS!!!!

 

A guy shares some knowledge and you guys treat him like bin Laden.

 

All indications from Suzuki so far indicate that the price will be set between the Honda 400EX and the Raptor.

You never know. Suzuki has a "intoductory" price thing going on with the Vinson and Eiger right now that saves you over $500 from MSRP. That is before you chew your dealer down even more.

Let's hope they do the same with the 400LTZ.
