Nice bike. It will be interesting to see how it does after the requisite mods, like the YFZ, which the dales can beat stock, but have a real problem with when they're piped, jetted and have the cam mod. It will be interesting to see how fast the 450R gets...

Yep, from my experience a stock Cannibal is slightly faster than a stock YFZ in a 300' drag.
When a YFZ is uncorked it evens things up and maybe even shifts to the YFZ's favor. Finish out the easy YFZ mods, and they're difficult to deal with, even with a good exhaust and mapping...

I'm sure it's fast. But I just can't get past that goofy nose on the 450r.

I don't think it looks that bad at all, myself. I didn't like the artist renderings I first saw though.
I don't like the look of many of the new quads out there - the Raptor look is getting really old. The Spy vs Spy look of the YFZ looks a little cheezy to me as well..
Anyhow, here's a pic of a 450R with a hood. Very nice if you ask me....

It looks more like a 250r with the hood on.

I think that he stated it was a stock cannibal, if you are refering to the one dragging the 450r.

thay are both running 20" rear tires on 9" rims. My new 14T sprocket is on order.

Interesting results - Have you checked your throttle adjustment on the 450R?
I have a feeling incorrectly adjusted throttles are going to be the source of a lot of chest beating on the forums..... (just like in the days of the 400EX).
The throttle was out of adjustment. She is slamming the slide 100% now
thanks for the reminder gabe.

Also, if you know anyone looking for a clean, used stock C'dale, keep me in mind- mine's on the block!
I am planning a late summer get together at my place. Probably in late August (before kids go back to school). You are welcome to come ride any time and the R is fair game.
