( I know im gonna get cussed out for this but somebody gotta do it) C'mon guys, we begged and begged for suki to bring out a new quad and they do it and we complain about it (even though it is pretty ugly[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]) I think after we see how it does on the track and dunes first because, who knows, this could be the revolutionary quad!

 

I believe C-dale should take that light AWESOME chassis and put a powervalve 2-stroke liquid cooled 250cc motor in it! That would KILL ALL the competition! And I would definalty buy on! WAY too many manufacturers think 4-stroke are the way to go! But what about 2-stroke lovers??? I will have to get a 4-stroke unless someone make a 250 2-stroke. All the people that love R's but there gettin OLD!!!! We need something new!!!! It would sell more than the suzuki!

 

I think that the overpriced c-dale lost to the Raptor in the shootout. Though innovative, they're still not perfected.

 

It is pretty tough for a BICYCLE company like cannondale to make a perfect quad in it's first year of production. The mx bike had many bugs, but now most are corrected (except for the claimed lack of power, Dirt Bike Magazine). I'd say let them refine it a little, and the Cannondale will be a sweet ride to own. Didn't somebody on the forum say they had a C'dale but the power feels like a 2 stroke and they sold it?

Anyways, where can i see this new Gas Gas? Anybody heard anything about an ATV from KTM soon?

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they'll get things ironed out before long. I guess I was a little hard on them, after all it took Polaris about 4 years to get the bugs worked out of their Sportsmans, right. I just hope they drop that bodywork and get a new look.

 

I luv it. I just found my wifes new quad. Bye Bye Warrior. She should be able to find my dust cloud now before it dissapears. Guys...calm down. it's all good. now you have more options and even more on the way. Anyone who is pissed off is just being brand loyal. atleast suzuki stepped up. I happen to know that Honda will be releasing a 650 and a limited edition 450 (sorry cannot disclose source). Bomb has already improved the ds650 w/ the Baja edition and cannondale has more on the way. Patience. while your waiting...put some $$$$ away. we are all going to need it with all the choices we will soon have. Good Job Suzuki. Don't stop there.

 

a limited edition 450?

 

What tha hell ya mean limited edition?!?!?!?! Is that a crf450ex??? WE ARE VERY INTERESTED!!!!!!!!

 

There will never be a production 250 two stroke ever again, I give it a .0000000000000000000000000001% of a chance. Suxs but that is the way it is. It does looks like a Honda some, but I am more concerned of how it goes. If they did not make it meet or exceed the performance level of the 400EX then I have to ask why bother to build it at all? I like it hopefully it will beat its competition, mainly the 400EX. I always liked the Quadracer 250 and the Quadzilla( looks and performance wise) more than the 250r or the Banshee. The Quadzilla was awesome, absolutely awesome. I hope this one is a winner.
