I think its not only good for the MX racer in mind, but also the duner,entry casual rider who wants stability ,either way whether its MX or XC, someones gonna be unhappy... For us personally its not a quad of interest to purchase ,at least not yet Ill wait another year and read all the reviews first, so far its sounding great!

The fall of Cannondale and the total Moto sales speaks for itself why a MX oriented factory machine, doesn't work.
A fuel injected, 450 motored, quad would have been a great machine if it wasn't in a 49 inches wide chassis.....
I have my doubts that this machine will sell that great, and I don't think it will be too long before the Z400 is dropped, and a 450Z comes out.
Well I'm not sure I agree with that. The Cannondale came out at a time when it wasn't 'cool' to be an expensive quad. These days a $7000+ machine is becoming common. Had Cannondale handled their affairs a little diffrent and stuck out the market I would imagine they would be pumping out some bad a** and advanced machines. But alas, that never happened.
This machine (to me) is worth the money. I do not think it is 100% full GNC season ready as it sits. But for the price tag you sure could get a nice start going. And as long as no 'first year bugs' start popping out I'll bet they sell the s**t out of them.
someone thats agreeing with me. about what doug said.Quote:

Doug said he would race it stock, Just put a pipe and tires on it. That says a lot for a stock bike.
Sure I leave for a few days , and Suzuki releases the new machine . LOL .
It's great to see them step up and set the standards higher in the market . I guess we'll see how it performs later in the year . . Anyone know when it will be hitting the showroom floors ??
I can say one thing....Ever since the leaked or real info came out about the LTR....it sure has stirred up some heated debates.
Especially the discussion about where the number plate is going to go . :p But Cindi solved that one .... I was thinking you'd have to set up the number plate like the Pont Du Vaux style . :DQuote:

Amazing how all those motorcycle motocrossers get away without a rear grab bar number plate... noone seems to miss carmichael's jersey # as he's ripping past the scoring tower. :D
And thats been going on for 30+ some years now... It must have something to do w/ those extra 2 wheels.... bad voodoo. HA!
That's what the back of the mud flaps are for.Quote:

Theres the solution 2 the number plate placment problem...Nice Improvision:D
good try...but that would be covered with dirt in 2 turns. I was on the phone with Turner....he said thay have a couple ideas for the # plate, not sure yet though.
