Do you guys think Cannondale will ever come out with a big bore quad? (like a 600cc or bigger)

I doubt it. They already have a strong platform and an even stronger desire to win some races. They are putting all their eggs on the 440 and working with it. Just imagine the possibilities when the aftermarket starts figuring stuff out for the cannon. Imagine if they did make a big cc quad though....WOW!

The thing is still too ugly for me to consider buying even though the early race reports state the engine needed little to no improvements because it was so good.

I am a Cannondale fan, MY next bike will be an E440 from them. If I get another bike... But not sure if they will make a new motor, but I think it would be good for them. eveything they make has the same 440 in it, makes it easy for them but I think they need to change it up a little, several different motors would not be a bad thing........ at least I don't think! I am impressed with how good they treat the customers, they are a good company.

They don't need a "big bore" overweight engine, their current engine runs great...

They're already developing more power than the other "big bore" offerings with a lighter weight package. Plus the engine responds really well to exhaust. It's also said there is a fair amount more power to be extracted thru head mods and the like.

Any more power than you can easily get from a c-dale is really not very usable anywhere but in a drag race - and if you're looking for the ultimate drag quad, look no further than a readily available, cheap, easy to modify Banshee.

Do yourself a favor and take one for a ride, there will likely be no looking back.

I just had a 30 minute conversation begging for a mc1000, and cdale said f*ck you give your dealer $1000 and you get your new mc1000. the dealers are the good people, cannondale sucks at dealing with people. i will never buy any other cannondale product again or ever say a good thing about them after the conversation i just had with them, unless they at least make me a deal on a mc1000.

I don't blame them Corny - Why do you believe they "owe" you an MC1000? You bought a used Cannibal with an MC500 - that's your fault if that's not what you wanted.

Why don't you bad mouth them a little more, then call them back begging again, maybe then they'll be more apt to help you out on your used, out of warranty quad that isn't even really experiencing any problems with it's ECU.

Heck, using your logic I should call up begging for a Blaze since that's really what I want. Cannondale sucks because I bought a Cannibal and now a Blaze is available and they won't upgrade me for free.

Why don't the moderators nuke this guy? Post some classified ads Corndog. Seems that it's far more important for the admin to harass someone that posts something that *may* be construed as advertising than someone that disrupts every post he enters.

Some things never change over here....

corndog-
I'm sure Cannondale doesn't want your business either. How could you say they don't know how to deal with people when they gave you a free frame rail that they shouldn't have?
A couple months ago all you would talk about was how your Dale would "rape" any other quad out there and now all you do is complain.
Is this just fun for you?

OK,why does everybody think the c-dales are ugly?? WTF I think they are COMPLEX and BEAUTIFUL!!!! I would almost screw the Tailpipe on a cannibal!!! I dont like the way the speed,moto, and blaze look like. But they're not ugly by any means. The cannibal looks intimidating and gorgeous.

Hey icav..............You should probably edit your post people are going to think your a #ag or something. Everyone I know except for Canondale owners think they look like frogs. Although fast frogs, but frogs none the less.
