Default decided not to get a ds650 :-(

I went out and tried one after weeks of research.

I was truly dissapointed, it's just so damn big.

The monster has hella power, but it's width kills it in the trails and the bike downright sucks a$$ in the snow.

We have lots of snow over here, so I decided it wouldn't be the right choice.

Thanks to all that helped me do my research, it's appreciated.

TyreSpinner, I just got mine today and let me tell you that the width was a concern for me as well. However, after a few minutes on the trail I no longer had any concerns regarding the bike on the trails. It is a little to get used to, I will admit that, but I had zero problems at all and had to make some really tight turns. The power of the bike seriously helps out on the trails. Most of my riding is on trails and I love the DS's handling on it.

Should give it another shot bro...

What's wit teh F$%&ing bashing...

First thing, "how about when the snow melts", we have snow here from november to april. The DS is just horrible(even with bigger tires) on the trails, and it's so damn wide, I had to pull to the side to let the ski-doos pass, and ended up getting stuck.

When I was in the middle of the trail it was fine until you wanted to accelerate, then it would just spin like a **** when you punch the gas.

This bike has too much power for it's massive weight(law of inertia) and wants to spin instead of advance. He had 23" Realtors.

If I lived in areas where there is less snow and sand, i'd definetly get it. But it's just too big for my kind of riding and terrain.


I'll probably get a Z400 or a TRX 440 Full-Race quad.

I say thanks for yer help and you get all homo on meh. PureIntimadation and buttfungus atleast had mature posts.

tyrespinner, as far as i know they do not make 23" only 22" which i have and they actually only measure a lil under 21", and yes i do agree that it spins alot in the snow but all quads are like that, its sad to hear that u decided not to get one, today i was at a small mx track wit my buddies wit EX's and i took both for a ride and as soon as i hit the whoop section i missed my ds's suspension, and ionno wat people are talkin about ds's aren't made for mx tracks i loved it on mine, well good luck with watever u end up gettin
