I am going to have to go with the DS, since I own one. I have rode my buddies v force and another buddies rappie. I perfer my DS for comfort, and the power is there, it was the first run through a woop section that sold me. I love jumping the machine, and the seat is comfortable. The drive shaft of the v force limits it's travel, my freind is the first to admitt that it beats him to death in the woops, and we are talking bone stock machines here, he is yet to win a drag race between DS or the rappie[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] This is a bike he has resigned himself to handing down to the wife.

V-Force for sure. Don't have to do that shifting thing, hahaha. Just pin it and go. Doesnt bog down at all either. Put some sand tires on it and climb any dune you want. Does good wheelies in the sand too. Don't have to worry about sand gettin on a chain or wearing out your rear brakes. Internal wet disc brakes and drive shaft baby!!!!

Are you kidding me the v force is a joke in the sand. The only thing it can climb is the kiddy dunes. With that auto tranny its really hard to keep the RPMs up while hill climbing. They look like a power wheels trying to hill climb at dumont, plus they are like a tank... their so heavy. With a v force in the sand you'll be watching your buddys drag up comp, while you'll be stuck on the flats wishing you could ride with the big boys.

circa 1970's honda 90 3wheeler. Back then it wasn't about power or speed, just having fun.

 

These kind of threads are just plain funny !!!
There are many things to take into concideration to decide on an atv.
I would'nt give any advise until I new the age, size , weight and hight , and riding experience and ability.
With that said it is my turn. My suggestion would be a rapter with a turbo GXR1100 motor on nitrious oh ya make sure that it is stretched front and back. that would be the best 4 stroker for you I'm sure.

Obviously you are a Vforce expert! Your response is purely amazing. All I have to say is your ingnorance and/or knowledge of the Vforce is almost amusing. I'm not even going to waste much time on this one, your too funny. Oh, by the way I cant wait to see you at Dumont! I will definately have to re-acquaint (sp) with the ability of a V-force or you can just ask Anihilater and Dr. Dune about the potential of the orange V they saw run at Dumont a couple of months ago. Later

Your nuts if you think a v-force can beat a sparks raptor...it definetly wont beat it in a drag up comp...especially with an auto tranny. Sure the v force has potential....it would be a whole lot better for the dunes with a manual.

Here we go again...... "The almighty Raptor". Although a fast and nice bike, not necessarilly always the fastest. And the fact that its a Sparks, I can appreciate that, but we will see. I will let you know when we are planning our next trip and we shall see... you might even get a surprise too! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

that v-force will be right on ur *** if not right beside u!! Check out his mods.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Without the mods the raptor would probably take it. Nice raptor though.

 

I personally own a Raptor, and have ridden a V-Force with pipes and a jet kit, they flat hook up and haul ***. We raced on flat ground, up hills, and I only won about three times within maybe 20 races. And I used to race flat-track with a 250r. DesertSportsman is going to whoop your a** in a drag race XxSparks690RxX. Boondocker Nitrous is some crazy sh**.
