after reading all of the problems people have had with thier cannondales, it makes me hesitant about tradking my R for one. I admit, i had lots of problems with my R when i first got it, but all the kinks are worked out. Did you guys find that you got your dales running normal for good? How many of you didn't get any of those problems?

One thing you have to remember is this forum is where people come with their problems. If you are not having problems, you don't post as much. Nobody just stops in to say that they are having no problems. This is where people come to get help when problems come up. I think most people on here, even the ones that have problems will tell you that they love their quad and could not imagine owning anything else. Just ride one, and if you are not smiling from ear to ear when you get off then get something else or stick with your R. I have never seen anybody ride a cannondale for the first time and not have a big grin on their face when they come back. Just ride one and you will see what I am talking about.

I gots one...
The last ATV I owned was in 1986 and it was a 185s three wheeler. Since then I have done the borrow program from time to time with friends machines. Bombadiers, EX's yada, yada.
I bought an 03 Speed. My only advice is to be very picky about the production dates. The newer the unit the fewer issues you will have! Beware! There are quite a few out there. The only problems I have had with my machine I caused due to my own ignorance. Try to buy one with a production date on the Certificate of Origin after November 20th of 2003 and you should avoid many issues.
Oh, and it does fly... It's kicked my a$$ twice now. I'm on prednezone and hydrocodone to prove it!

Canondale You Gotta Love IT
Bought mine about a year ago. ( 2002 Cannibal )
Only troubles have been the normal ones from Racing and trail riding. You just have to take care and do your P.M. just like any other bike and it should hold up for you.
