I weigh 120lbs and i wanted to know if anyone thinks the the ds650's would be a bit to big for me, and is it really actually hard to wheelie?

any opinions would be helpful!

 

and how much does a 2000 model weigh

 

it's not hard to wheelie just find a big hill and start wheeling up you will find the balance point pretty quick, just ask bigslim[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] are you still growing or is 120 it? my wife rides one and likes it a lot but when she gets stuck she has a hard time with it. other than that no problems with the size you might look at that new yamaha if it is.

 

120lbs u may be a lil small, how tall are you?
and wheelies, well its somethin you have to get used too, i couldn't wheelie worth crap when i first got mine, now i can do 2nd n 3rd gear pretty easily, a pipe and filter help alot
well nobody knows 100% on the weight, originally bomb said 460 but then for the new 2004s they say its 20 lighter but it says the weight is 470, so its inbetween 460 and 500

 

yeah im 15 so im still growing and im bout 5'4" - 5'5"

 

wat atvs have you riddin before?

 

personally i think you need a 400ex or predator if ur only 120lbs it will probably kill you if you get one cause ur so light and if a crash yourpretty $crewed...jmo

 

Im 16, just a bit heavier hten you (55 kilo's), and i dont have eny problems with it, as long as you have enuff experience, there should be no problem

 

i wouldn't get no honda if you think you want a ds. and since your doing nothing but growing i would look twice at the ds.

 

First off i think the Predator is as heavy or heavier as the DS isint it like 500lbs.. id say for 120lb'er it be hard to handle the DS.. for starters when you get stuck or you need to turn it around on a tight trail youll wish you had reverse or a lighter bike... as for wheelies, you just have to use the power to pull it up, vs just being able to yank on the bars like the 400's, id say if ya strictly dune, youd be allright, but if your in the woods the DS is going to give you a workout at least.
