Yes that is one exciting quad.
Kinda cracks me up that nobody is calling it TOO EXPENSIVE, or UNPROVEN the way the did cannondale. With cannondale, at least you knew they were gonna back up their machine, went bankrupt trying to take care of there customers too. We know that won't be a problem for yamaha and the early adopters will surely prove it.
I hear the aftermarket frame builders are drooling to get hands on em and start specing out the replacement frames! Add that to the 6899 and you're in moto territory without the EFI or superior stock shocks, or nerfs, or Tag bars, or tether kill, or gripper seat.
I also think it's hilarious that the CANNONDALE is now the standard to which the new quads are compared.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] Well that's water under the bridge now, but i've been riding a quad as good(better) than a YFZ for 2 years, so I guess i'll just wait on the Honda.

I'm ready, let me have it.

Sounds like someones going through Post Failed Manufacturer Depression! If you look through alot of the posts on this forum, you'll see that alot of people are waiting a year to buy the new 450, as well as complaining about the price. The Cannondale is not a quad without flaws, in fact, if they would have built a better quad, maybe they wouldn't have gone under because they had to take care of thier customers.

They have a cure now for Post Manufacturer Failure Depression, Its called Yamaha YFZ 450! JK! Hopefully someone will come along and take over for Cannondale and get them back on thier feet!
