Corndog- do you even have a quad? I remember reading some post awhile back about all your quads. Appeared you were caught in some serious lies.

Cannondale- I don't want to ride around on that ugly thing, that looks like it was put together in shop class. It looks like some parts are cheessy at best.

I hope it does well, but it will never have the sales of honda or yamaha. I doubt kawisaki would even blink. I think it is only going to appeal to serious racers and 20 year olds. The big problem with that is not a big money group of buyers to support a company. Honda, yamaha, kawi, suz, COULD blow cannon out of the water if they so choose. But why worry over 1000 quads a year.

i think the cannibal is going to do really well in terms of sales, mine is 236 so i think they sell more that a 1000 a year! yes honda could blow them out of the water, but isn't that kinda like a my dad can beat up your dad comment!? Honda doesn't seem to care much about high performance atvs because they only care about tons of $$$$$$ which a crf450 quad may not bring.

I agree, Honda and Yamaha could blow Cannondale out of the water, but the fact is, they aren't doin it. They are to busy taking all the money they make on ATV's and spending it on dirtbikes. Show's how much they care. Those "cheesy" parts on the cannondale sure aren't having any problems out running a quad that is 230 cc's bigger. Which brings up a question. How come a 5-valve, 660 that weighs 60 pounds lighter than the DS 650 isn't any faster than the Bomb? And how come yamaha can never make a ground breaking quad? I mean after the DS 650 came the Raptor, and after the Prarie 650 v-twin came the Grizzly 660. What next? But go on. I haven't heard a good point yet.

lonestarbanshee:
Just for the record you do sound like a butt-hole. The Cannible has hardly the accessorise that the fx400 originally did. Unless you bought it before they could get supplied with the new parts that they decided to go with. Plus the Raptor stock needs very little if anything. The things I have done is because I want to not because I need to. So if you dont have anything proven to say about the C-dale Shut up.

Thanks. What does the 2001 FX400 come with, that the 2002 Cannibal does not? The only thing in my book that I have found is the shocks. The Cannibal shocks don't have rezzy's, whereas the FX's do.


Where are you getting this information ?

My information comes straight off a 2002 Cannibal, and Cannondale's own website.

Wrong again my friend. The Cannibal is made for an entry level sport rider. The Moto is the "race ready" machine. Get your facts straight.


1 there is nothing else to do to the motor it's topped out

Cannondale themselves built a 454 Cannibal dragster, which means the motor IS NOT topped out. By the way, it spanked everything at the drag strip they ran it at, which I'm sure included Raptors, 400EX's, Banshee's, and 250R's.



2 Why didnt C-Dale supply him with a moto440 ?

Maybe he didn't want one? Besides, the Moto wasn't complete when Ellis had to have his quad.

Are there any more questions you'd like me or my friend to answer? If not, better get back to computer class before the teacher catches you.

Another reason C-dale didn't supply Ellis with a moto is because Ellis isn't sponsored by c-dale. You know, the more you say stuff to prove me wrong, the more you sound like a dumb @ss. Things to ad... hmm... how about HMF exhaust (+7 hp), 454 kit, remapping, air filter. That would make the dale go from kickin your @ss to... still kickin your @ss. HAHAHAHA. Next time try checkin something out before you talk ****. LOL, your pretty pathetic man. I'm still waiting for you to come up with a good point.
