sorry guys, but I have been thinking for a long time about going back to 4 strokes after I sold my highly moded R last year. I tried once and shortly owned a 400ex when they first came out and was vary dissapointed in the hp non 2-stroke characteristics. Now that the hp bar and machines have apparently come a long way since the initial 400ex and there apparently are more models to choose from, there is only one thing coming between me and a new sport quad... Price!!! Sorry, but I can not see forking out more than $8,000.00 when all said and done with accessories for a nice loaded Cannondale. When I can get a used raptor with mods already on it for $5,000.00 and even have enough money left to also purchase a nice used 250r again. I can't see forking out over $200.00 a month for just one quad. No Way! espially when I need two for the faimly soon. Looks like I may just be getting a Raptor instead. I hope cannondale is listening, because their prices are way to high, unless they are targeting only the rich, or sponsored pro/semi pro riders out there. Sorry but many of us got a morgage and car payments to make each month. Cannondale I hope your listening, don't forget us!!

Zoinks .. I think the closest areas to ride for us are probably Attica, and Dugger. I heard they turned Dugger into a rec park though. I haven't been there in 2 years. There is also Laural on the other side of Colmbus, where you can camp, actually about 1 1/2 hours NE of Columbus. A buddy of mine also went down to Kentucky, Louisville area and rode at some rec area a couple of weeks ago with some other friends. Indianna actually has alot to offer. When I get back into ATVing again, hopefully soon I will be looking at doing some trips to silver lake. I have ridden the newness out of the badlands and I love to play in the sand. Alot of my buddies like tight woods stuff around here. I also have done some riding up and down White River between Seymour and Columbus. But the DNR has cracked down heavily on ATV riders around white river. I think they have been getting the farmers to resent us, so the DNR can kick us off their land. There are other roomers of areas in Brown County, but I'm not sure if its public land or not. Good Luck !!

Go take a ride on the Cannondale. It seems that the Corporate attitude is that they encourage the dealers to allow demo rides. Isn't a dealer having a demo ride at the Badlands in Attica IN? Check it out and drive over from OH and test one out. I am sure there will Raptors around that you could run beside to compare to.

CCTMAN, Do you have any riding areas over there in Columbus? I havent heard of any but just curious if there is any good riding areas worth the 45 min travel there.

hey, what i think i read on the website is there doing test rides, but if i remember correctly, u gotta be like 18, if not 21, and have to have full riding gear b/4 u can drive it. For liability reasons i think. I think this was on the webpage.
