Man just look at whats most important to you. Ive owned nothing but Honda since 1983. Ill buy a yfz or gasgas before I support them again. Cannondale opened my eyes to what this sport could become.

im not gonna ride the crap outta the dale...I ride the roads alot so top speed will be used a bit but this isnt hard on the engine is it? I will then ride tight traisl...I ride everyday though with my friends & especially on the weekends...i guess im just gonna buy it & keep my fingers crossed,.

I trail ride mostly with a little duning but I ride as fast as it will go and I tend to over rev the shat out of it.

Holy crap, hang on tight man. I have had my dale for a couple of months now and I still have yet to hit full speed. I may have gotton into 5th once or twice so far. Maybe at the dunes I will open her up all the way. I gotta tell ya, in a race with a 400 ex, once you hit second, its all over. The next time you see them is once you turn the dale around at and see that they are just crossing the finish line. But to be fair, it is only a 400ex. Totally different machine.

I have ridden it pretty hard the last couple of months with no probs, other than I just love tearing it down. I keep playing with something. New Winky steering bearing will be here tommorrow! Jumbo, just take care of it and you will be ok. Chances are you will not have any REAL issues, but if you do, just hit the boards and the techs on here will take care of you.
