I live in Seattle, WA and I am going to buy a ds 650 baja. There is one for sale at my local dealer for a 2003 baja for 5,800. I am having second thoughts about it and am wondering if weight and the rev limiter is a big issue. I am planning to ride it at dunes, woods.... all riding conditions and i love to jump.... I am 16 and had a banshee for a year and am experienced. Any Thoughts?

 

The Ds is worth every penny. I beleive in 03' they bumped the redline 200 rpm so it shouldn't effect you much. The weight may be an issue to some but the pig is still faster than the shee and the raptor in stock form.

 

k, thx, what do you think about its jumping capability?
What kind of pipe would you suggest?

 

Hold out for the 2004. Less weight, faster, shorter and narrower for those wood trails.

 

i'd come down to oregon and get one of the 04's for 5999, there faster lighter, and yes the ds can jump. bigslim and i were out jumping and we got these 400 hondas to jump with us, they finally said they couldn't jumpas far as us because they couldn't launch any faster they were out of power at the top of the hill

 

I have a ds 650 with an alba pipe and k&n air filter it really brought it alive. The suspension on jumping is unbelieveable, it feels like you land on a huge cotton ball when you land. In the woods i am not really sure it might be kind of big. I have two downfalls about it, it dosen't turn very sharp and no reverse. But other than that it is one fast machine. It will eat raptors and preadtors for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
