its in west virginia... (like 10+ hour drive for me) so it would be shipped.

that is a problem with the warranty..its a whopping 30 days... (and i dont beleive an extended warranty is avail)

i guess oil changes are a frequent thing with them (every 10 hours or less) and oil changes are a bit more tricky having two filters, and having to drain oil from 5 places! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

the good thing is, i could buy this bike, with an HMF pipe (dont know what color would match...) the D&M kit (300, is used for switching maps, and diagnostics) looks like it would be 5k to my door.... (thats cheaper than a z400!)

ATK/cannibal-450

too bad hmf dosnt make a red/white blue themed exhaust can

 

Have you tried a Predator? I'm not saying buy one, but really give it a spin. My dealer sells both Polaris and Bombs. Both the DS and The Pred feel real comfortable to me at 6'2". The '05 Preds have reverse. Just don't rule them out.

 

yea if i had to get something other than a ds or to get another quad my first choice would be a predator 05

 

The Predator seems like another good option as well, I've seen some good looking units. How is the aftermarket for them? Are companies stepping up to the plate or is it a slow start as with the DS?

 

You'll find a full selection of all the standard goodies availible for it. Then there are a couple of builders who can help you push the envelope.

 

ya the 3 id have in my "suggestions box" would be the cdale, the 450r and the preddy.

the predator i havnt looked into much because i have had thisl ife long HATE for almost all polaris atvs (they make a pretty good snowmobile, but i have always despised there weight, use of a ton of plastic, single brake lever for front/rear? (and plastic at that) and i have seen a long history of broken polaris')
but the predator i havnt really gotten to know very well (i guess they are holding up pretty good...does anyone know the main issues with them, if any? ) that tld 05 wouldnt be too shabby.....

the price on the cdale is just sooo cheap!

 

Get in touch with Haydug from cannondaleriders, if you are truly looking for an atk450. He will sell you one, for 4200

And here's the mass quantity thread...

One time only deal, I think it'd be worth the trip to ohio, if you really feel like seperating from the bomb
