Are there any sites where I can see one of these frames? I would like to know how much they are.

 

These frames are very expensive. Expect to pay between 1800 and 2300 for just the frame, depending on what options you want and what brand you go with. also expect to wait 9to 18 months to get it is production is slow and demand is high. These frames are hand built, not mass produced.

 

The Lobo chassis are $8000. For that you get the main frame, a-arms, swingarms, steering stem, shocks, carrier and axle, airbox, all assembly hardware for the above parts and a fer other things that I cannot remember right now.

 

When I first heard the price, I was shocked. I friend of mine that races up here in NEAVTA MX series ordered one.

But now that I am rebuilding my 250r, I can see that $8000 is not that bad. If I had known how much this project is going to cost, I probably should have just brought one of those.

 

So the 8000 is for a chassis ready to go. All you would need to do is put your shocks, tires, plastic, radiator, all hoses, anything else that I may have missed.

I am not exactly sure of what you need.

But I think you need a power plant and everything that goes with it. From what I understand, a rolling chassis is just that. It will roll, but that is it.

 

How much does an engine cost? Can you still buy them? Does Laeger or Lonestar have frames set up ready to go? How much does one of them cost?

 

Nobody makes one that is ready to go. Your only choice would be to find a used one for sale. You still have to have the motor, electrical, fuel system, front and rear brake system, front spindles and tie rods, hubs, footpegs, cooling system, plastic, all of the controls, seat, bumpers, tires and wheels, skidplates, nuts and bolts, various mounting brackets, all the rubber grommets and isolators and I'm sure I left something out. Plan on spending $12,000 to $14,000 to build one.

 

Bpace,

Have the pro's in the GNCC expressed a lot of interest in the Cannondale? and have some already decided to race them instead of their aftermarket framed quads?

I haven't heard anything much said about this new bike. Most of the pro's don't really get to excited until we can actually get on it and give it try. Right now I don't see it really replacing all the aftermarket frames. We have another GNCC race this weekend and I plan on having a discussion with Steve Holbert about the Cannondale. He was suppose to go up to the plant and do some testing with it last week.
