    HELP!!! Cannondale no more!!!!???

    Well I'm picking up a new cannondale early next week. I was going to buy one under the pretence that there motorsports division would be bought and get back to manufacturing ATV's again. Well they were bought, but the company that bought them is only interested in the bike division (WTF). The only thing they said about the ATV's is "We are not interested in starting the Motorsports again). Sniff.... I already have a down payment that I will surley loose if I dont follow though.

    What do you guys think?????

    Well the bikes use the same motor. I would go through with the deal and just take care of the thing and don't break it. In a few year's time they will probably be worth a lot of money.

    Makes sense to me that the bikes would be the only thing the buyers wanted. Looks like you need to go get that Down payment back and put it on a Raptor or Predator.

    Bill, my professional opinion is to go ahead and buy it. Like Hemi said, it'll be worth the money's in due time, just take care of it.
    Trikes:
    1973 Honda ATC70-orange!
    (2)1985 ATC70
    1985 Big Red 250
    1985 250R

    they are also in the racing market.. so alot of companies did and will make replacement parts for them! i was thking of dumping my 400ex and grabbing one up.. they are going for around $4500 around here!
    Ride it like you stole it! And never look back! They are too far behind to see!
