I heard from a 14 min. who owns a 686 rappy that the DS is more stable at high speeds. Is this true? and Is the DS too heavy to powerslide, throw around, and jump nicely?

 

the DS has more width and is definiatly more stable at high speeds.much more stable with high speed turn sliding while RPMS are up ...ive had works tripple rate shocks and blew them out my second weekend of launching! i hit deep whoop sections pegged in 5th gear.. i put my stock suspesion back on and it handled like a dream again.tollerating 10 to 15 ft high and 60-80 feet out , dune jumping that is. if i can i will post some picks.

 

he is absolutely correct about the stability.

However, it's not too heavy to powerslide, throw around, and jump nicely. It does take a little more work. It's heavy, but it's by no means too heavy. Of course we would all like to see the bike go on a 50 lbs diet.
