Add the prices on to the others and they are still around $9k.They could get long travel and more to add up to the ATK.
You have to remember the magazines are doing this comparison for the average guys.What would they choose?A cheaper, better all-around machine.

If they were at Glamis this weekend they would be calling ATK tomorrow. I've read and read how the new 450's are just as fast or faster, but can tell you right now after watching many, many runs, they still haven't caught up to the 2001 technology of the Cannondale.
YFZ with cams, pipe, piston, the works looked like a Warrior on Oldsmobile hill next to Doug on Kenny's Cannondale or ****** in the drags.
You're gonna get what you pay for :usa
