Shady,
I think I will pass, but thanks for the offer.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


I am a tall dude, and it (450R)fits me good. I have a DS in my garage, I store it for a friend, it feels too big to me.
DSJockey, I guess its what you are used to, huh?

i've sat on my friend's DS, never ridden it, but it feels like it would be tippy. i would be afraid to take sharp corners at any significant speed on that thing, it's just too tall.

not sure there are any more stable than the ds it's like 50"wide plus you have lots of suspension to take up bumps, not sure i've ever seen one roll

Ya you've got to work at it to high side it (managed to do it once testing the limits of a new set of tires) in the new ATV sport there's a shootout between the DS and V-force, they called the DS a natural slider. I'll also admit that after riding small quads the DS did take a little getting used to, but after I did...they'll be no going back I think sides who says the DS is big lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I agree I have a 250r with a +4" axel and it is low and almost untippable, When i got my DS and sat on it i thought sh#t this is high
but once you ride and get used to it its great and the most stable stock machine i have ridden to date

from what i've seen from my friend, the DS doesn't seem very hard to slide, he jus gives it extra gas through a corner, and a slidin he goes! when me and my friends go riding we'll kind of go our own ways, and when we want to meet up, we go up to a hilltop, and sit there burningout in circles to throw the dust up, and everybody knows to go there. the DS is the easiest to spot cuz it puts out the most dust.

Nobody mentioned the Predator? I've heard good things about the predator other than the fact that it could lose some weight.
