Performance wise there is no difference and that's the problem with Bomb. There is room for improvements but they don't seem to want to spend the funds on continuous improvements like their competitors do.

I'm not sure I would agree with that. Bomb has actually made a lot of small but effective improvements to the DS since 2000. Take a look at the 660 Raptor and you will see that Yamaha really did not make any changes other than the faulty 2001 tranny update. Honda rarely makes any major updates to their linup as well. You have to wait 10 years for Honda to do anything new and exciting.

I just read a review of the '06's and there wasn't a change made to that year either.
