Go take a ride on the Cannondale. It seems that the Corporate attitude is that they encourage the dealers to allow demo rides. Isn't a dealer having a demo ride at the Badlands in Attica IN? Check it out and drive over from OH and test one out. I am sure there will Raptors around that you could run beside to compare to.

hey, what i think i read on the website is there doing test rides, but if i remember correctly, u gotta be like 18, if not 21, and have to have full riding gear b/4 u can drive it. For liability reasons i think. I think this was on the webpage.

sorry guys, but I have been thinking for a long time about going back to 4 strokes after I sold my highly moded R last year. I tried once and shortly owned a 400ex when they first came out and was vary dissapointed in the hp non 2-stroke characteristics. Now that the hp bar and machines have apparently come a long way since the initial 400ex and there apparently are more models to choose from, there is only one thing coming between me and a new sport quad... Price!!! Sorry, but I can not see forking out more than $8,000.00 when all said and done with accessories for a nice loaded Cannondale. When I can get a used raptor with mods already on it for $5,000.00 and even have enough money left to also purchase a nice used 250r again. I can't see forking out over $200.00 a month for just one quad. No Way! espially when I need two for the faimly soon. Looks like I may just be getting a Raptor instead. I hope cannondale is listening, because their prices are way to high, unless they are targeting only the rich, or sponsored pro/semi pro riders out there. Sorry but many of us got a morgage and car payments to make each month. Cannondale I hope your listening, don't forget us!!
