That's true for their street bikes but on the dirt, they fair very well.Snowman said:If you have the cash get a Raptor, the Zuke as with all Zuke products has zero reliability
Yea but keep in mind that this is a new product for them if we were talking dirt bikes then I would agree. That DZ you had was bad ass no doubt I would purchase one if in the market for a dirtbike. I also agree reverse is FANTASTIC, like EZ said we have used it a thousand times and it's a god send sometimes when your in the trail or your stuck in the mud up to your gas tank.EZDozzit said:That's true for their street bikes but on the dirt, they fair very well.
The question here was best bang for the buck. If the sky is the limit, then go for the Cannondale. Personally, I prefer an ATV with reverse which the Cannon doesn't have. Snowman, you know why. So yes, if you have the extra cash, go for the Raptor.![]()

Obviously you've never had a 400 lb. ATV (Banshee) buried head first in mud almost all the way up to the rear tires. Try kick starting it then or pulling it back out...provided you can find solid ground to stand on. :twofinger If you're just riding dry trails, then not an issue but that gets boring fast.cappy said:Well if your too small/weak/old to kick start a bike or push/pull it backwards, then yeah, I guess the zuke quad is for you.:twofinger
Gimme great gobs of power, in a lightweight package. I don't want no stinkin' reverse gear or electric starter....that's the making of a "wife's bike":twofinger
I agree completely with EZ we have riden together and have buried our Quads up to the gas tank and if it wern't for reverse and the ability to leave it in reverse while we pull on the wheelie bar you would be there all day long. I even have to say that even on dry trails when you get to the end and now you can't turn around because the trail has closed in on you or your in the woods and the only way to get it out is to back it up REVERSE RULZZZZZZZZZZ.:redflipEZDozzit said:Obviously you've never had a 400 lb.

BTW, if you want lightweight, try a Yamaha Blaster then. :laughing

You can do that just go to MAC's fish camp if your in the Miami / Pines area.GoGo Gadget said::laughing :laughing :laughing
I can picture you staggering to the ER and having to tell the Doc what happened. "I ran over myself."
I am going to Florida for xmas. I was gonna tow the bikes down so we could ride, but since there are no curves, maybe I'll bring the ATV's down instead and play in the mud.
There aren't too many twisties in So. Florida but it's great weather year round for riding. The bikes don't have to hibernate during the winter. So there are pros and cons. Here's an air shot of Snake Road during a concert. Typically there's very little traffic. The local riders like to hit it on Sunday mornings. There's also a track down in Homestead but I've heard good things and bad things about it. Snowman, care to share your experiences riding the track??? :twofingerGoGo Gadget said::laughing :laughing :laughing

My experience with the track involved a helicopter and several cop cars :angel1 :redflipEZDozzit said:There aren't too many twisties in So. Florida but it's great weather year round for riding.
