I know what it's like, my parents have been divorced for years. I'm 14. I would definitely take any Cannondale over the Predator, not to say that there's anything wrong with the Predator, though.

The Predator is an awesome machine. It's also alot cheaper than the Cannondale. If money is no object, but one of each.

Speed, because thats what u would get after u pay for all the upgrades on another bike.....so why not have em from the factory with a warranty.

Going through a divorce is bad enough, but being the kid of one, is something I'm glad I didn't have to experience.

That being said, I would rather buy one from the best dealer. These machines are pretty much on par with each other. Since money is no object (you can afford either, but not both) I'd get the Predator.

I disagree. The fuel injection alone on the cannondale puts it way ahead, you dont ever have to worry about rejetting. Also the shocks on the c-dale are ohlins, not sure what the base model predator has, maybe fox. I havent ridden either one, but the consensus is that nothing pulls like a c-dale.
