I am 15 years old and weigh 130 lbs. I have had expeirence on a bayou 220, warrior 350, and a 1986 200x. Is the DS to big for me? I have wanted one of these quads forever, and i now have the chance to buy a new one, so i need your opinions.

 

hmmm 130 lbs? it is in deed a big machine.... you may be able to handle it fine....but even sometimes i get really worn out riding this beast around (im 6'3 230 lbs)

before you consider it accleast ride one for a few minutes.... considered a z400/kfx400? really good little machines pretty quick too...

no one but you can really decide if a machine is right for you until you ride it yourself and decide....

let us know what you choose!

 

i would consider what could happen if you were on a ds and had a get off and that 500 lb quad landed on your 130 pound body,i dont think the outcome would be good.i am not trying to be negative about it but you should be realistic about what machine would fit you best and make your choice accordingly.

 

I tend to disagree with you people since when I bought my DS650 I was 14, 130lbs and just came off a yamaha warrior but I had LOTS of experiance on FAST quads and racing....... And I wouldn't trade my DS for ANYTHING because I love it SOO much!!! It all depends on how much experiance you had on quads/bikes because you need to have some experiance in order to handle a DS.... Ride one and see how you like it BEFORE you buy one. I absolutly fell in love with mine..... I almost nutted to be exact, but I will tell you that if you are a smaller rider you better be able to ride pretty good in order to handle it.... No offence to that just my honest opinion.
