Nope atleast not in ATV Action, 4 pages for Honda, 3 for Yamaha, 1 for Bombardier, 1/2 for both IPC and Kasea. Wish there was a 'Motorcycle Consumer News' for ATV's then maybe one could get an unbiased assesment from a magazine, but like Cannondale says "you ride, you decide" nobody's opnion is better than your own.

Yep, I got my Dirt Wheels in the mail yesterday and c-dale has a full page color ad on the new models and the up coming racers.

 

Yes, in dirt wheels (page 6 august issue i think) there is a full page cannondale ad. But, come on! I think that the only reason C-Dale has it, is to announce that they have new quads! Honda has ads in every magazine, every month.

 

Yeah, Thats the main reason I buy the mags anymore, Just to keep up on new products and models that are coming out, I only have a couple of dealers that are closer than an hour away and mostly they cater to the utility scene. So if it wasnt for the ads most of the mags are usually a pretty sorry read.

K & N on West St. in Wichita has the franchise. You can call them at 1-316-945-8221 and ask for Gary or Jim. I have not seen one on the floor.

 

I'm picking up my FX400 on Thursday. They really are trying hard to get these machines out. I got a great price on mine, as well as free updates then they are available. I've read the magazines, but they don't do this thing justice. Nothing comes close.

 

Awsome88250R is so right about the mags. When I went to get mine I had yet to see a test in the mags. While waiting for the paper work to be completed I noticed a dirtwheels mag with a shoot out between all the quads. It all sounded good until the end with the flywheel and bushings. I made sure that mine already had those problems fixed before I drove 3hrs. home with it. It seems that the mags keep getting worse in the test of the C-dale even though the C-dales keep getting better. To say it only beat a 400ex (with a pipe on it) by a few legnths has to be the worse thing that they have said so far. The Cannondale is the fastest thing in production right now. I just hope that people go out and test one before they beleive the test articles. I know I'll never kick my self for buying one(maybe two).

 

You also have to remeber that the Raptor beat the 400EX by, "only a couple of bike lengths." Those are very misleading words. I am having second thoughs about picking up my FX400 tomorrow. I really want a Blaze and I read that production started on 02 models. I'm afraid if I buy the FX400 now I'll get killed by depreciation. Unless I can work out a deal for buy back amount I think I'm going to wait. Unless they come way down on the price of the FX400.

 

By the way, if any of you guys who can't find a dealer want a Cannondale let me know. I can get them and ship them to you for way less than Cannondale's list price.

 

Cannondales updated web site has the specs for the new Blaze and Speed, no Moto yet. I guess it all depends on price and features that you want as to which one, FX,Blaze,or Speed. I cant wait for the Moto to come out to see what the mags. say about it hee hee!
