i just saw one today at a local dealer today and was BLEW away!! Donny Banks owns the shop and he test rode the prototypes and said they run/handle great! he cranked it up and it sounds awesome. the only things i didnt like were the handlebars and the seat was not very comfortable.

 

I saw one at a Yamaha dealer this weekend. I didnt sit on it but i picked the front and rear ends up and it was very light. I was pretty impressed till i saw the price tag. I know, I know if I would pay more than 8000 grand to make it as race ready as the cannondale is I just cant see payin $8000 for a wheeler.

 

I will see it in a couple of weeks. Is it worth $8,000? The honda dealer sheap in ohio asked my cousin if he would trade his 2000 raptor and his 99 400ex for the Cannondale. Would u guys do that??????????

 

NO, Haven't seen one yet. I don't know who sells them in the Portland, Oregon area! I heard they are pretty pricey!

 

Anyone who trades a raptor and 400ex for one of those is out of his mind.

well put mike!

 

hmmmmm trade $12,000 worth of atv's for a $7199 cannondale.....i dont think that is a good deal at all!

 

I saw one nice design but for 8 grand you can mod a 400 just as much

 

i hope cannondale does good with there quad.
but i bet if they put less into there quad everyone would cry about the quad being cheap and not up to there high standards. if you want a atv now a days be prepared to pay. you want an aluminum light weight quad have the money ready. i dont know if you can buy Fuel Injection for the honda yet? but if you can i bet it puts you right up to that 8000.00 mark.
i bet it makes for interesting racing this year. i cant wait to watch the new sport ATV's battle it out. i have been waiting for this since the 80's
