Well I am going to get a Predator too! But I am going to keep my Baja and do my own personal long-term shoot out! My son has a Raptor and there is no "winner" between the DS and the Raptor, they are different, each with it's own unique charactaristics. The Baja has all the improvements, and more, that I had put on my '01 DS. The Raptor has the obligitory wider axle and works front shocks, as well as a bunch of other goodies to get it into shape. I'd like my boy to get rid of the Raptor, since we won't be selling Yamahas any time soon, and ride a Z-400, which I expect will benefit greatly from wider A-arms and axle, and probably better front shocks too.
Rolling a DS? Okay, sure, why not? The Predator does have the lowest center of gravity in this game, BoyToy would be better off on a Predator, that is if he's rolling a DS multiple times. sheesh.
..I liked the Predator I rode,,a lot, but I don't know if it will be the desert sled that the Baja is. There is a certain quality to the DS, blasting down fireroads, sandwashes and mountain trails that I have not found anywhere else. The Predator will certainly be a better track machine, I believe it will outcorner and out jump a DS, but I think the DS will still reign supreme as the ultimate desert racer with its long travel suspension and Cadillac style.

Well I guess I have to wait for a shoot out I'll give it two months to see a DS650 vs. Raptor VS. Predator and then go buy one. Please keep us informed with your shoot out.

LOL....i would rather have a motorized wheelchair then that wannabe Harlery u have!!!!
hardly wanna be??? who the fu*k would want to copy a P.O.S. 50 hp vibrator with 1940's technology, HD's 1/4 mile times are equivelent to my wife's little grocery getter! Haha 6 cyl import cars smoke em!!! you go deal with a company that does a better job selling t-shirts than building real bikes!! jeez disturd do some research before you try to bash the heavyweight champion in cruisers. Last time at the track I cracked a 10.474 @136.54 totally street legal!Rode it to and from the racetrack. I hang with busa's in the straights kid... hardley's hang with ford station wagons...barely


to be old and wise you must first be young and stupid......disturd will eventually learn that friends don't let friends ride slow craptors....

Figures the one with a garage full of $hit "- the honda" has to chime in his 2 cents to defend the honor of a fellow pooper pilot.
Ok you calling the 400EX a piece of ****, what would that make the DS. I think it must be a bigger piece of **** obviously. One more question many ds's do you see winning races, just wondering?
