That 250r is nice! If you sold it for 2500 you got ripped off.

That is the cleanest relic I have seen in recent years.

I would describe riding my tecate as a RUSH...

I am going to take a serious look at Cannondale next year when I buy a new quad. The performance coming out of these new four strokes is awesome, and I am glad all the manufacturers are jumping in. What a great time to be riding.

As I said when you first posted the pics, very cool to see that 88 in such good condition. Looks as good as anything available now. Hope the new owner does'nt destroy it.

Sweet looking quad man. Maier plastic, tamers and trekkers, answer bars and a pipe? If you would trade a 97 MX shee for it, I'd almost do it!

Nevermind. You won't have it for long at $2,500. That's a KILLER deal man, you should ask $3,000 at least!

awesome88250R,

A friend of mine is interested in it. How much? You said $2500. If you can, post a picture on the net so he can see it. I told him you were a super nice guy, and that it would be an awesome quad for anyone. Thanks!

I was just writing up an ad today for a Honda TRX250R I'm selling, and I had to come up with some words to describe it. In the process I started thinking about my Cannondale FX400. That is how I would describe my Cannon, how would the rest of you quad owners describe your quads. I'm talking to EVERYBODY who owns a quad so let the manufacturers know how you feel about their products!

That's funny man, your absolutely right. I can't get that big smile off my face when I'm riding it. I rode my 250R today and it just can't match the FX400 when it comes to translating the power to the rear wheels. The FX accelerates faster and is much easier for me to control.

You'll have to contact the guy I sold it to. I kept that address on the page just because it was an awesome bike. I've had about 6 different 250R's since then and the one I have now is an 86' model. The 250R can probably match the FX400 on horsepower (the R is not stock though), but it can't match the tractability of the four-stroke power. The R even has turf tammers on it. The R I'm talking about is actually on Ebay right now. Look for Super-Clean TRX250R. It's a nice quad.

That's very tempting, I'll keep you in mind in case it doesn't sell. I'm only asking $2500 for it so I think someone will be getting a good deal.

Posted by: AWSOME88250R

No, I didn't sell that 88' 250R for $2500. I do still have the 86' 250R I was selling on ebay though. Looks like I got a non paying bidder. That really chaps my hide because that is $60 bucks down tube. Go to this address if you want to see pictures of it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=594706162&r=0&t=0

WOW. I HAVE TO RIDE A CANNONDALE. MORE POWER than a 250R to the rear wheels. This is great. Anyone in KY wanna let me ride their cdale?

Posted by: crhye250r

When is this? I may have to head up that way?

Posted by: CdaleRacer

Laughing Gas!
My C-Dale FX 400 brings a smile from ear to ear and a giggle out of me (and everyone else that has ridden it) every time the clutch is let out and the throttle is opened up. This thing RIPS!

Posted by: bluelakota

Do you guys have any pics on your cannondales? They look like bad quads. aren't they fuel injected? Do you have any problems with them?

My email is blue lakota@hotmail.com

I would like some pics of the Fx400 too. I am 15 and plan on buying a used one as soon as I can afford it.
