I like the DS650 because I just fell more comfortable on it. Both are great Quads. See if you can get some test ride on each one and go with the one that fells good to you. I due not know on what type of terrain you mainly ride on but if tight woods and tight MX tracks Raptor more open the DS650

well if you want a lighter, more powerfull, better handling, better accelerating, better looks, and just a wayy more fun quad then go for the Raptor. If you want a very large, very heavy, very bad looking fat mans quad that should never touch anything but open range get the DS650. No offence to you DS people but it's the truth.

BigBubba,

Shouldn't that sort of opinion be reserved for the Yamaha forum? That's the good and bad thing about opinions, they're like a backside, everyone has one and they all stink. (Some more than others.)

HAHA you guys make me laugh! Every DS I've raced has lost by a long shot! Even the stock Raptor beats it!! If they wernt so heavy they might have a chance.

BigBubba, I'd check my facts more closely if I were you. I believe the DS motor makes significantly more power than does the Raptor's in stock form.

Hey FatBubba, shut up unless you have something intelligent to say.
Or something funny, like calling someone "FatBubba." If you say it outloud, it's hilarious!
