I would say a DS650 is about perfect for you. It's built for larger riders.

I"m 6'2' And the 660 Raptor fits me well and is better for trail riding because it has reverse. This may also be one to consider.

I would try test driving both of these and see which one feels better.

DS650 is a good idea, if you're comfortable on it. My uncle is 6'1 and 300lbs and loves his DS. Raptor and Predator are two other comparable quads, both have reverse.

cant say what size does for the quad, my gym rteacher is 6-4 and rides an 02 recon, but the rappy/ds is probably your best bet, or maybe look into the v force 700, i met someone last monday riding one, he was probably no where under 300 lbs and he was doin fine.

well i have all your post and thanks for the reply, awesome.
i have looked into all the suggested quads and it looks like the ds in the one for me now i am going to start looking for prices.
i choose ds because it is a big quad and being a big guy i hate looking like a big goof on machines, and i went to look at them in person and i do feel comfortable on them.

now starts the painstaking task of buying. thanks for all the help guys
