Wow. Am I disappointed. The suspension is TERRIBLE compared to my 2002 400EX. The shocks are so stiff, its like they dont even move! It's alot heavier than the 400EX too. With heaviness, it doesn't jump as good either! I think the 400EX is an all around better machine. Let me get some more play time on it, and I can go more into detail. I am certain that the 02 400EX outperforms it though. It appears to be awfully cheap made as well. I'm expecting it to break soon!



So, any of you DS owners hot under the collar? Well, I DID pick up a new DS today, and the suspension IS terrible... But you can't argue with the price! $10.52! Wal-Mart is now selling Ertl Bombardier DS650's. The attention to detail is EXCELLENT! It even had a warning sticker on the front "fender"! When I looked closely, it had the pictures of the double riders, bottle/needle etc. The Kenda tires are even done right! If the shocks moved like the 400EX's... It would be sweet!

Just thought I'd let some of you pig riders know you can now pick your favorite up at the local grocery store.

I better get back to working on mine[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

lol, that was pretty funny. I have seen a 250r look alike, but it didn't go into detail like the one you bought. It was red, had fenders shaped like the R, but an air cooled motor. Did you get the R together again or what?

You probably need a Yahoo account. When he told me about his R when he first got it, it said something about your password, and it was for my yahoo account.
