you SUCK!!

hehehe, you'd be even more pissed if you knew what I paid for it...

Raced it on sunday with some loaner plastic.

3 holeshots, and 3 moto wins.

Had a bad start on my last moto and started about 15th, finished in 3rd.

That womens C is a TOUGH class!!

70' table top that I was getting about 68' of...

The tires are kinda old school huh? it's what the guy had on it when I bought it, the rikens still had stickers... need to be grooved or just pulled and something else put on there...

It doesnt, but it's like comparing apples to oranges anyway. I like each for different reasons. Im much faster on the laeger though (very light, very powerful, very good suspension)

anytime u get tired of it...just let me know

Im tired of it, come ride it

Come on dont play dumb, I have nothing against this bike, I think its a beautiful machine. He already asked once and Lap answered him then followed up with that, so obviously hes trying to egg him on. I think he has a reputation for stirring up trouble and creating waves, we all know that, I was merely poking fun at that fact. Why feel the need to defend him if hes done nothing wrong?

nope

yes theyre both quads, but that's like saying Ashley Judd and Wynonna Judd are both women...

They are night and day different to ride.

The CRF is very small, light, nimble with torque forever. The motor is unbelievable. No hit, very smooth and linear.

The Cannondale is bigger, and has snap, THough a nimble bike, I dont think it s comparable to the CRF in this category.

overall, whats better?

Depends on what you're doing.

In MX the CRF takes it hands down. I think anyone who's ridden one would agree.

XC, more of a wash here, and I dont have enough time on the CRF to make a call. The dale is very comfortable over broken terrain. The CRF is smaller and 'twitchier" though the power is very smooth.

If you're a really aggressive rider I think youd like the CRF.

Either way, "I" like and "Im" riding it, you're mileage may vary.

Like I said, "Your mileage may vary"

Still have yet to run it in XC, but I REALLY like it in MX.
