Not sure this was one that I never read the plaque on but it was engraved on top of the triple clamp with something, can't remember what now but I remember thinking it may have been the builder.
You can see where the carb hooks to the frame right under the seat! Machined swingarm, simple, and clean! I like this thing!
Go get yourself a 94ish Berg FE501 and your 90% there including the rocket of an engine and very light weight. I paid $600 for mine with a plate. These have crazy wide 6 speeds in them too. Motor and frame look nearly identical. You could build a replica of that fairly simple minus the swing arm. It is a really fun bike to ride and wheelies at will in any gear.
If Cannondale had a top pro rider they would still be selling these bikes. There design was awesome with the engine oil and tranny oil being seperate.
o A 9,000 rpm vee twin and it stays together? Harley better buy into this. One note the starter is in the front. It's going to get hammered with dirt and water?
their bikes kinda sucked. plagued with issues. weak power, heavy and expensive. they just tried to do too much at one time. also its correct they copied the first gen honda alum cr frame, and those were known for being way too harsh.
Or if they would have sourced their engines instead of building them in-house.I have had a Cannondale atv for 8 years now,it went thru all the typical problems.Had the engine ported,crank stroked(467cc)and had a map made dynoed at 57 hp.It is quiet relieable now,plus when I take it to ride no one knows what it is.Gotta give them credit for what they did.
