1)all i ride is trails and fields and i have no problems keeping up with my buddies who all ride ex's,z's and shee's, once you get used to it you don't really notice that much,
2)i wouldn't trade my ds for any other quad, even after i smashed up the one that i co-owned with my brother, insurance wrote it off, i rebuilt my ds, and guess what my brother bought? Another DS!
3)One of the most reliable quads out there, but not perfect mostly just little things(like on 00-01 models chain roller was junk),
4)its like landing on a cloud, takes a little more to straighten it in the air, when i ride my buddys ex i like the lightweight but the suspension sucks,
5)love it
6)shocks, skids and nerfs i think, well worth the money

 

for 2005 they took out the baja and baja x and simply made them into one quad the ds650x. correct me if im wrong

 

Ask him if he wants a used one..Im trying to sell mine...I will sell it at about half price of a new one....

 

DC504, you are correct - the Baja model was produced in very limited numbers in 2004, and 2005 there are none - just Baja Xs.
