i agree but if you want speed and your a small kid get the yfz 450 they are very fast out the box. if money is a concern my opinion is a pred but it seems to me your stuck on the rappy or the ds. i would go with the ds becouse they are faster than the rappy out the box and as far as mods go there is more mods out there for the ds than you will know what to do with. money is the only limit for anybody who wants to mod either bike. i have also herd alot of good things on reliability on the ds. my freinds rappy is sittin in his garage with a broken trany. an 02 model.

 

whats wrong with the shee's??

 

ya, what he said!!!

 

Shee's are great for shootin' the hills but, they are a red-sticker bike in CA (Pismo and Glamis). They haven't been enforcing it too much yet, but, you're rollin' the dice if you look to buy one now.

I assumed he was looking at a 4-stroke because of his original question.

For the trails and for Pismo I think a 4-stroke is a better choice. Further, for that kind of riding a 400EX is enough power. Glamis, Sand Mt., and Dumont you'll want a big bore or one of the new 450 class. Just make sure you are comfortable.

I won't go on and on any further. Do a search and I think you'll find some common statements. No bashing or BS just overall honesty about what each unit is good for.

 

I love my raptor and wouldent change it for the world...

i wouldent trust any bikes internals if i was pushing over 60 Hp you should beef it up just to be safe...

If you do it right there shouldent be a problem..

I have seen fast raptors and fast Ds bikes so it's really what is your preference...

they are both great bikes and have there advantages..

 

you should sell your blaster and buy a banshee they mod better than 4-strokes ( well not better but 2-stroke mods go further) but 13 seems young for a ds or rap? is that even legal? in utah, if your not 16 you can't ride a atv that are over 350cc's but what do I know....
