all of the C-Dale owners. I thought C-Dale had a good thing goin there, their quads were really innovative and moved like lightning. I guess they tried to pour too much money into the biz before they got established as a solid company.

i was actually kind of shocked they put that kind of money into the factory knowing the economy sucks the way it does?
did they really think they could make a killing off of selling quads? the "in thing" right now is to buy dirtbikes and freestyle them. the quad industry always seems to just kind of trickle bikes out in my opinion compared to sportbikes and dirtbikes.

Actually, for the last half a dozen or so years ATVs have outsold street bikes, dirt bikes, and scooters COMBINED! Now if you're talking "sport" quads specifically, then that's a different story. There are more new utility quads sold than sport quads. Then again, the line between "sport" and "utility" has begun to blur the last few years too.

Don't make yourself look so silly! The LT250 was a nice quad 10 years ago. I owned an '87 and a '92. When they were stock they didn't have a prayer against my Cannibal, and after I did a RAD Valve and exhaust on the '92, I still don't think it would be very close. You are right about the price, but then again you get what you pay for.

not all people have 12k to spend on quads. I know after buying my raptor I will never buy another new quad and will never spend more then 4k for one. I'm still paying for a quad I don't ride. ridley, I'm glad your have good luck with yours.
