Default yam 450 V's ds 650 ?

HI

I know they are apples and oranges but i just wondered which had the edge in acelaration
as i was looking to buy the new trx but i have decided i cant live with the kick start.

And i am a duner so the ds is a option i know the yam is lighter and better handeling
just wondered about the speed thing as i have never seen a DS run not many of them in Scotland ?

I have raced a baja x and i beat him by a half a bike length and the second time by 1 and a half.

We marked off 350 feet in a flat field.

I am about 200 pounds and he is probably 180. He started racing last year but we are probably equally matched in rider skill though.

My step dads brother has a ds. We have drag raced them several times and he has never beat me.There is 3 of us that drag race. yfz450 vs ds vs banshee.

i'm 15 6'1 160 pounds and the guy on the ds prolly weighs 160-180. The guy on the banshee is like 130.The guy that has the ds sold his zuki 250r and got the ds and he said he would of rather kept the lt 250.

On start i get bout a bike length on the ds and the banshee is left spinning. But then the banshee catches the ds and passes and comes within a half bike lentgh of me. The ds is about 1 to 2 bike length's behind the banshee.

I am the only stock fourwheeler out of the race(except for my shockwears)
