450R has an electric start option, and a bunch of other new stuff. They claim it is all new from the ground up :head:
250EX gets 450R style plastic

Check it out for yourself

As bad as the '05 headlights looked, I liked them more than what I see on the '06! (Like a C'dale owner has room to talk!!!)

Those Jap bikes are getting faster and faster! When's Cannondale gonna' put out a new machine?!:cry: :cry:

Just make yours a true 450 (or a 448)

a 468/469 should hold those 450s off. :head:

I'm with NRath...I'm waiting on the cdale 450. LOL.

I wouldn't be too worried about the 450's really. I pulled a holeshot on a field of them on Monday. Mostly R's w/high comp piston kits. The guy who dragged beside me but I slowly pulled away from was running an 06 YFZ w/the stroker engine in it. It was a close battle but the farther we got, the farther I pulled away.

The 06 Cannondale is sitting in Timbos shed. I think its a 505, LOL. I did notice that Cannondale is starting to run Kibblewhite valves, new decompression weights, a mx conversion kit as an option for 06 and Falicon cranks. Not to bad for a little bitty employee owned company. LOL:usa

It would be so cool if someone could like re-make cannondales and sell for a cheaper price, like get used arms, go over them and put new ball joints in and powdercoat them and all that...
