Hey who knows was the DS a 2004 maybe that diet it went on paid big dividends. Maybe they just had a sweet running DS. Who knows, who cares. I'm sure the Raptor didn't win and I don't really care. I like my ride I sure as hE|| am not gonna let some writer tell me what quad is best for me! Just be happy your choices for a new sport quad were not limited to a 350 Warrior, 350 Banshee, 200 Blaster, 300Ex, 250 Mojave, 400L sport. Not that they are not fine rides but not my Idea of High performance. Well maybe the banshee is high performance! 1998 That was your pics. From the looks of things they are only getting better!

Eaglesflyalone, I have the same feeling about the V on tight trails. I went trail riding for the first time on my V this weekend in Capital Forrest. About 1 hour into the ride I got on a real tight trail, it was as wide as by quad and the trail was cut with about 2' side walls.
I caught a stump hidding in the sidewall surrounded by bushes. My V shot up and rolled twice, I did the famous superman dive to get away from it. It thrashed my handle bars and bent my tie rod (AGAIN). I was able to ride for about another 1/2 mile before my tie rod said no more. Had to remove the rod and take it back to camp to straighten it out. After reinstallation and a field front end allignment I was back riding, except my handle bars were shape like a chopper. Worked on the bars for a bit and was back in bussiness.
I ordered the stronger tie rods yesterday to replace the stock ones. Next time on those trails I'll have to avoid the tight paths.
Oh well.......Off to Cous Bay in a week.

Were the drags on sand. If they were, I can see the 700 losing. The Holeshots are pittiful in sand.

Hey Orangecrusher,Sorry about you finding that stump,hope you weren't hurt. I have found out that a helmet is worth it's weight in gold though I was doing some jumps the other day and fuond out that gravity still works.=)so ride safe and have a blast. Later.

Well the V wasnt made for sand it wieght is too high. It was made for east coast woods racing and that is what it is best at. It has also been good on tuff desert racing not duning but the Baja stuff, that is when this quad will flat out rock! You can all say what you want i love my V and there is nothing anyone can say that would make me think different.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
