I was anxiously awaiting Hondas new hi-po machine. Now that i see that didn't materialize, its a cannon for me next time. Any of you Honda guys the same??

 

yep, Moto 440's looking better every day...

 

Sadly, yes. I've been combing the dealers for one. It's just hard to get rid of the 400ex though. I love my quad, but I need some more power. I just don't know if I can justify buying a $8k quad. I don't know if I should just put in a big bore kit and do some suspension work, or just say screw it and get a Cannondale. Anyone got any thoughts?

 

I think my next quad will be a C-dale, too. They are VERY innovative, and seem to strive for customer service - and I need a quad I can race without modding too much. I won't be getting a C-dale for a while, though, since my 400 is brand new, and I have to win the argument with my husband first! That might take a while, but I'll win!

Unless, of course, Honda happens to step up to the plate before my victory - then I'll have a tougher choice!

 

I cant wait to throw my leg over a MOTO.

 

hey jvc400, ever heard of larrys sport center? (galeton,pa) they deal in cannondales now. they have two cannibals. i test drove one yesterday. amazing acceleration but i do not like the stock handlebars at all.

 

Hey sand hopper, if you don't mind taking a drive up to Prescott there is a dealership called Hale's motors, they have a Cannondale there you can demo at the Yavapai Downs motocross track. My brother and I recently demoed it and are pretty impressed, so we are currently waiting til the Moto 440 comes out to see what it will ride like. I would trade in the 400EX for the C-dale without hesitation, they are way faster and handle just as well with a little more suspension travel. By the way, we will be practicing at Moto Grande this Friday night you should come join, the more quads the better!

 

I always buy Honda, but I belive it is time to look around and see the what the other companies are building. I think the 440 Moto appears to be what all of the TRX 450 people are looking for. It's time to support a American company that has built what we asked for. Now whats the supply going to be and price???

 

do you people realize that the moto will be priced at around $12000

 

Yes, the price is up there, but it is a racing quad. They are expensive to build up and if most everything is already done it might actually be cheaper. They claim their building them for the racer...
