I like to trail ride in open country and really like going to the sand dunes. I want a bike that will hand good through the whoops and rap out fast for acceleration. But I also what to be able to put an occational girl on the back for a fun ride.

 

Oh yeah and reverse means nothing to me. I dont mind one footing it ive done it for so long on my three wheeler it doesnt even bothe me anymore.

 

may i recommend a 400ex? no reverse, but a durable unit. if you wanna have fun, thats the quad for your situation. plus if Honda ever comes out with a new 4o0 class quad, the 400ex is gonna be "affordable" so work on that.....

 

I dont want a 400 EX because my 350 X will out run a 400. Plus they are too common of a bike. Everywhere i look there is a 400 EX. But Ive never even seen a Cannondale in real life. Only on videos and in pictures. Is $6959 out the door a good price or not.

 

So you have your mind set on the C-dale. Yep thats a good price. And there is a reason the 400ex is so common. And it dosnt take much to figure out why.

Have you considered a z-400??? A little cheaper than a c-dale and responds well to mods.
