I LOVE MINE, the suspension is awesome for trails

 

is it too wide for tight trails[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

No it's not too wide for trails. Never been somewhere a raptor or other quad went and was unable to follow (or lead the way). I think the DS is 6 inches wider than the raptor, it's not that often you'll get in a situation where 6 inches makes or breaks you. Sure there are places like that, but that's no reason not to buy a DS. Go look at / test drive all the quads you want, and buy the one you like best. I tested the DS, KFX400, and Raptor. DS felt the most stable and comfortable, not to mention you can just look at it and tell it is built to last.

 

The best quad built...period. BR

 

can you tell me a little about how it handles, and how fast does it go?

 

ya see me and 250xrk rider are only 14 were not allowed to. and are dealer has nothin but a parking lot just big enought for traffic and about 10 spots. ya see

 

If you like going fast on the trails the DS-650 is the machine to get. If you like to jump on a track, stay away. Its fast, handles excellent, and is very comfortable to ride for a sport machine. I love mine and have ridden many other quads. I can last about 20 minutes on a 400ex before wanting to get off, but i ride all day on my DS.

 

it may not be the best mx quad, but I think it's great for jumps! It soaks up the landings. I get spoiled by the DS...I rode a guy's piped z400 and I wanted my quad back after no time at all when I missed the power of the DS and I thought I was gonna lose some fillings out of my teeth [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

The only problem is you'll love it so much , that you will be buying it presents every week, pipe.....carb.....race head!!!!

 

yes i know what you mean about buying your atv gifts every week, it can really start to burn a hole in your pocket.
