Actually, I think that other than the weight of that 700 it has great potential. You can really hop up a twin. Probably get up to around an 800+cc's out of it when the kits start being produced. The automatic might siphon off some power but i think maybe not having to shift will make up for it. Are they producing the high compression sleeves and piston sets yet?

Yep, they make a 785cc kit for it. From what I have read, the biggest problem is the stock ignition. It pulls a lot of timing out as the rpms increase. Hopefully this will be adressed early next year with some sort of aftermarket ignition. So, how bad does that ds beat your raptor?

That Raptor runs pretty good. I outweigh my son by about 50 pounds so if I don't get a good start off the line then I can't run him down on it. If he rides the DS and I run the Raptor he just runs away from me.

zmann, yeah the DS isn't much of a trail machine. It has its good points but one bike doesn't do it all. That's why I have 3.
