You are the perfect candidate for the V-Force.............except for that shifting thing.

 

Everyone always recommends whatever they're riding. It seems a little narrow-minded, but I'm going to do it anyway because the DS is really the only quad for a 300+ pound person. Being fully 2X the size of the owner of the DS you rode means that the suspension was DEFINATELY NOT set up right for you. No other manual-shifter is built as tough as the DS, and not even the yfz owners who think the yfz is a gift from God can argue that.

 

I say get the DS for sure

and set the suspension for a 340 lb person


you wont be disappointed

its about your only option

 

Thanks for the opinions guys, I know the v-force and DS are the most bigman friendly out there but for some reason I'm drawn to the new 450's. I suppose because they are the latest and greatest. I should get something that will fit me best though. Tomorrow I'll go check out the DS and I have heard that with just a clutch spring the v-force rips from 0-40. I was hoping someone would say " I have a YFZ and weigh 400# its great" but oh well, we'll see what happens tomorrow. Thanks again.

 

I hate to say it, but you will likely destroy a yfz450.

The bomb is a tough bike

 

Thats my worry, you should see some of the my bikes from my mountain biking days, that God for the downhill components.

 

did you check out the predator? good size machine and plenty of power to move you around

 

they are designed to be light in weight,,,,,which can comprimise strength

the ds is built to last,,,,and is heavier

 

I didn't reccomend what I ride, I just told him the other options.

V Force, Raptor, or DS will all work for you. Just take your pick.

 

You didn't, and that's good. But look at topic dealing with the "which quad" question, and about 90% of the time the people recommend whatever is in their sig.
