I don't know the horsepower number, but I have rode them and they are faster than the ex. Yoshi makes the tri-oval exhaust and it works very well. I would trade simply because the DVX has reverse, very nice feature.

the advantages of the dvx are liquid cooled, DOHC, its lighter, it has more power, it has reverse, and i think (dont quote me cuz i might be wrong) the suspension travel is a little more, but maybe not that last one....and my neighbor has one and i can wheelie alot longer than he can, but hes just scared to pull it up all the way, but my guess is, more power, easier to hold a wheelie up.

There are many aftermarket parts for the DVX from what I have heard. Any motor mods or suspension mods you can find for a KFX400 or LTZ400 will fit the DVX.

Only 1 or 2 more horse than a ex, but it rev's a lot faster. Both are wheelie kings. The dvx takes less rider work to get the front end up, though, IMO. Just blip the throttle, and it's walking on two wheels. The balance point on a dvx is way back there though. Your grab bar will only be about 4-6 inches off the ground depending on your height and weight.
