Hhey guys , I have noticed a lot of people comparing cannondales to brand X quads and when they compare prices the range is anywhere from$ 5,000 to over $13,000 . I met a guy on a trail on a raptor and he jokingly said " You could have bought 2 of these for what you paid for that thing" When I told him what I paid for my speed before the bankruptcy he told me he paid $150 more for his new raptor . I am wondering what you guys actually payed for your dale and what model it is. Did anybody actually pay $13,000 for thier moto? I paid $6,500 for my02 speed and the dealer threw in a $300 diagnostic kit and $200 instore credit. What did you pay?

 

i paid 6500 OTD for a 02 speed before the bankrupcy with, olhins steering damper, bark busters, nerf bars, twist throttle, big gun pipe, ITP reinforced rims, all updates, kill switch, and a blaze map, and that was $800.00 more than the best OTD price that i got for a BONE STOCK z400 and a heck of alot happier with the power advantage, there is no way i couldve added all those same accesories for $800 clams

 

I bought Walsh's Cannibal, his first one, (and ours) for $6800 with a new motor, new nerfs, new Big Gun exhust Had all Walsh stuff on it and Pep shocks. I was at the right place at the right time on that one. Our 2nd Dale was well used and abused and I traded a guy even for our used and abused 440 stroker EX on a bent stock frame and a-arms with pep shocks. I feel we both got what we wanted. I'd say they where worth $3-4000. Our YZF426 we built our selves from scratch with all new parts Around $16,000 invested.

 

And the moral of the story is you guys all paid $6500-$6800 too much! Gee, I bet I can get one for about $3500 right now and you know what that is still too much. You guys should have waited for the new Honda.

 

So what model did you say you wanted for $3500 ? Was it new or used?

 

Here you go

 

Thats a race ready used 03 speed for $3651. Looks in good shape. I thought I saw a used Moto for just under $7000 a couple of weeks ago.

 

a 450r as soon as its released? you are wanting to buy a quad that isnt even built yet ?
i got an idea, i am going to builld a a race ready honda 450, i wont give you a date that it will be released but heck, you seem pretty gullible, but i am taking deposits
and by the way, owning a 400 ex and obviously liking honda you better hope they dont build a new quad with 20 year old technology ...AGAIN

 

Hey qwerty, is that name South Dakota's version of Kerby?

I know you're real upset about Cannondale going out of business before you could save up enough money to buy one.
I understand how mad you are for having to settle on buying a used 99 400EX that you're still making payments on.
That sucks!
Someday, instead of digging post holes on somebody elses farm, you might be able to get your own farm.

Good luck and best wishes!
