My wife rides a "Bone Stock" yfz. Because she weighs considerably less than I. If she were to get through the whoops cleanly. SHe would pound me up the hills.
Now same bike with my brother-in-law at the helm and it is a lot closer race. He is still lighter than me but only by 35 lbs.
maybe some day I'll actually be able to afford to make my bike fast.

i don't think they're really that fast, stock for stock on flat ground a ds wins as we've tested this with my bro buddies family, one has a yfz and the other has a ds, but wen he had the 22"vampires on the ds the yfz would get out ahead until third than the ds has to play catch up, we haven't raced them lately because it had an accident with a van and they're gettin it back together and getting all the bugs worked out(axle may be bent)

My 14 year old kid with his piped and jetted YFZ beats my piped and jetted DS650 any way we care to drag race them. It doesn't matter if its hillshooting in the dunes, on the flat in the sand, or on a flat dirt or paved road. Me (240 lbs) riding my DS cant touch the kid (140 lbs) on his YFZ. I have pretty much given up even trying, because I haven't won yet. If its a drag race I just plan on him being out front, but when it comes to very high speed cross country riding in the desert, the old man and his DS can still badly outrun the kid and his new fangled Yamaha [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I think the trade off is weight/comfort/suspension when comparing the Yamaha and DS. I prefer the size of the DS even though its heavier then the others and the ride seems more comfortable. The DS is supposed to have the best stock suspension amongst the sport models, so I think thats also a big plus. My biggest objectives are to be comfortable and have enough power that I don't feel I need more.
