"AFTER BAJA 2000, THE DS650 WON THE ROOF OF AFRICA 1000 KM RACE" http://www.bombardier-atv.com/news/main.htm

...and there were Raptors in this race too.

 

Well you know what they say about if you can walk the walk,talk the talk, it seems the DS can race the race . This just proves what most know ,the DS is very fast and bulletproof

 

Allright!,The" New King" shines again!

 

Yes, and you know what i like in those two events,
they where racing with and almost bone stock DS while the others had to make majors mods to there suspension and parts upgrade just to think finishing the race.
The King is big but it's the King.

 

Check out the March 4-Wheel Action there is an article on the mainly stock DS650 that won The Baja 2000. The rumor here in SD is Greg Row new DS650 will be using the stock header. Bombardier has been testing all the pipes and the set up they like the most was the stock header with the Graydon Proline silencer.

 

Raptor is a nice bike but,compare it to the DS and it comes way short , week frame ,tipsy,week suspension,week trans . Seems like they hurried it to get it out there to compete against th Ds in sales . What I cannot stand is the DS getting bashed by bias raptor owners and biased magazines when the DS650 proves itself over and over again allways on top is seems

 

Just goes to prove if enough money is spent on{raptor} advertising,people will beleive it.

 

You are right about that, it even seems like they own the magazines they are so biased.

 

I'd like to see the roost...turbo skats

 

And who says North America can't compete with Japan.
