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.

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!
