Man this sucks, every magazine or internet articals say that the new Raptor is going to be the new quad to beat, and how it has a very good chance to defeat the 400ex...well i have to ask "WHAT ABOUT THE DS650?!"? And When they did a drag race against the banshee vs. Raptor, i forsurly thought that the raptor would kill it, but it was a toss up most of the time. Well the Raptor may be faster and lighter, but how does the DS compare to the Raptor? The DS is a very UNDERRATED machine, it also has GOBS of power, and i am very egar to see a drag race between the 2 machines. Another thing, when those test riders get on the DS they say it is a heavyweight (and it is), but they are not use to the weight, why not ride it for 2 weeks and get use to the weight and learn to use it to the advantage? Like Lurch Said, you cannot go JUST on what the Articals say. Just had to blow some steam
