maitenance
nah, i am gunna have to learn to deal with it. the canondale is such a freakin awesome mechine from what i have experienced(not much), and i think that is really what i want. i was gunna get the 06 yfz450 and i think that is pretty much the same maintenance as the c'dale but people just exaggerate with them. we will see, if it turns out to be too hard for me to handle then i will sell it. and maybe i will just go with a kfx700. they seem to be nice with little maintenance and they make just as many if not more hookup parts for them as the cannondale.
