If it where me no way would I trade a 250r i bought new like you and have less than 5 hours on for any Dale. Dale's are excellent machines and most reliability problems have been resolved but only two words can describe what you have "A LEGEND"
Get a Dale if you want somthing unique and FAST but DO NOT trade your R for it.

wrong, less than 5 hrs from new! I bought in 1987 from sleger's honda 3495, I did not like the way it handled and had a chance to race suzuki quads instead. so i pushed it into my dads garage and left it there. i stored it properly and have always kept it nice because i knew it was worth some $. I wound up also having a 90 lt 500 in the same shape as i gave up racing in 90 and sold that a year or so ago along with my as new 85 atc 250r. I raced in district 7 i started with kawasaki tecates and got the hondas so i could compete on some of the courses that the kawasakis were not good at(mx) I can email pictures of it when i dig the snow from my shed doors(btw i am an old fart(32) not a teenager)

that is the thing, i have had it forever, i never ride it. I was thinking it was time for a change. I always buy my bikes new and ride them a little and move on to a car or something(i have a 98 cr125 maybe 25 hrs, 99 cr250 maybe 40hrs and a 03 ttr 125le (wife rode 1 time) i was thinking the cannondales were pretty cool machines and with the fuel injection they should run like no other machine, i figured that the 250r should be worth 5000(to give you an idea about how picky i am , i bought a complete set of maier plastic. seat and a dg bumper to keep the original stuff from getting messed up wife used to "bump into it occasionally")

Just to answer one of your questions, YES YOU ARE CRAZY TO WANT TO SELL A NEAR MINT CONDITION 'R'! Only condition in which you should sell it is if you are selling it to me![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Seriously, I too have heard of too many problems with the c dales. I bet they are fast though. What you have is a very very special machine which should be treated like gold. I'd keep it.
