I know this isn't about Honda's, but there is no Cannondale section. Anyway, what do you folks think of Cannondale's new plastic? I think it looks terrible! I was considering buying one, but the look from the front is very bad. Maybe some aftermarket plastic could improve it. I guess I'll have to wait to see one in person.

 

I agree, that new plastic looks terrible! What were they thinking? I thought the first plastic looked cool.

 

Does anyone have any pics online or have a scanner so they could e-mail me a pic? I don't subscribe to the rags....

 

I dont think it looks to bad. Sorta froggish though...

Yeah, if you can post a pic, or email me one I would appreciate it.So its ugly huh? Did they try to copy the Raptor, when I heard they "updated" the look, thats what I figured they would do.

 

The black concept quad looked awsome!! The new pictures of the "production model" look so terrible. That was a bad move on Cannondales part, those plastics are a joke and would kill sales, Hopefully Maier would correct that problem with new plactics. That quad would be like a LT500R, it would look terrible but really fly. Nice features are that it comes with FMF pipe i think and even Holeshots on Douglas's, the motor sounds awsome too. Reliability would concern me with a high tech FI system, also performace mods cannot be done without reprogramming the fuel system, bummer!

 

Where can someone see pics of this cannondale with the new plastic???

 

If someone wants to scan them and send them to me, I'll post them....

Looks simply awful. Hope they change that. Check back my site (see signature) I'll try to put the pic on tonight.
