Hi, Im 15 about 5"6, 128 lbs. Im lookin into getting a quad, any 400cc like z400,kfx400,trx400. I just wanna know if you guys recommend any Cannondales, and if you do which one? And how do Cannondales perform.

Cannondale's perform great, but they're not being made anymore, they're expensive, and hard to find parts for. Between the 400ex and Z-400, go for the Z hands down. The liquid cooling and reverse are nice to have, but if you need to get something used, the 400ex is very cheap now.

At the moment, Cannondales are cheap, and easy to find parts for. Not a bad decision if you don't mind some wrenching or have a dad that can help ya out.

How do they perform? At YFZ and 450r level.

If you can someone list the prices for the moto 440, speed, and hannibal. Which one is better for a 15 year old?

Go to your edit profile page, and then scroll down to the box that says "signature" next to it, and type it in. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I have a 400ex and love it. Never regreted buying it not even for one second. I never even thought about buying a cannondale, they used to be expensive. I have no idea where a person could even buy one in Minnesota. If you ask me you can get way more parts for a 400ex than a Z400 and KFX400. But as time goes by parts will roll in. It's totally up to you. If you think you want Reverse. Then get the Z or KFX. But if you want a fun reliable quad where you can find absolutely every part for go for the 400ex.

If you ask me Liquid Cooling is just one more thing that COULD go wrong. 400ex's don't seem to ever have any troubles with over heating.

Nah, they don't overheat - making power makes heat and they don't have that much to worry about [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Cannondale prices right now, used - Cannibal 3500 - Speed 4000-4500 - Blaze 4500-7000 - Moto 6000-8000

A 15 year old might have trouble handling any of them. Maybe you should look at a Z or clone?
