Well... I tell you though... the Lakota is a ball of fun to me.

Over the years I have had a Mojave and a Lakota.
To me they are right there in line with the 250X and 300EX.

A ton of fun on really tight trails where big bores stay bottled up.

I had the same decision to make about 2 years ago.



I don't race, but ride trails, agressively at times. The terrain here can be very tight, and is very rocky. I wanted a good power band, reverse, and decent ride quality.



I looked at the 450's, but the choice was obvious for me, the 700R.



It has delivered all the thing that I want, and I have never regretted the decision.



It has been dead reliable, and the fuel injection is awesome, I don't miss carbs one bit.</end quote></div>

I like your beadlocks and Razr's.

Did you happen to consider the GYTR version at all?
Would you happen to know the differences?

Looks like to me better suspension and exhaust?... and a bonus grab bar and heel guards?

I dunno... I'm just digging the silver and white color scheme.

 

There was no GYTR version when I bought mine, the first SE wasn't even out yet.

A friend just purchased a GYTR, they have nice features. Rezzy shocks, heel guards, exhaust, bumper and grab and so on. I am sure the Yamaha corporate site has all the options listed.

 

Yeah, I was just curious because I saw the 700 GYTR at my dealer and it had a lot of extra stuff on it.
I wasn't sure where the GYTR package ended and the dealer add-ons began.

After looking at their website, I think the dealer just installed aftermarket tires (Pirelli Race Rail) and wild looking beadlock wheels.

 

I was surprised when I saw the Lakota a couple years ago, I had been looking for a 300 sport quad and i had to choose between the lakota and the 300EX, apparently the lakota was supposed to be a sport utility quad, but the only utility on it was the racks, and i took those off, the whole chassis is sport, it even has a chain drive, but anyways, I'm older now and something with a bigger engine would be nice, and a found this DS 650 at a can-am dealer, it'll do just fine
&lt;-----------------------

 

I think I already said it... but I actually like that DS you have pictured.
Never seen one in that trim.

I'm waiting on a call about a 650X myself.
It's another with a good chasis and bad engine.
I want to find out if they know what's gone in it and if it sounds like a good project to me, I need to go feel out the size of it and see what I think. I'm afraid I'm going to think it is too big and heavy for my riding.

Any idea where you can get DS650 specs now?

 

what year DS650?

 

Any year I guess... just general size specs, etc...

I got that call today (well sort of) and this one is an orange one. (Baja?)
It's torn down but I didn't find out what was wrong with the engine.
The owners wife devuldged the parts to fix it were too expensive.

Maybe I'll find out more from the owner about this and the asking price later on.

 

I found some specs here on the 2006 650X

It's big and heavy.

 

well that goes without saying, the DS650s are huge beasts, but they have amazing loads of power, surprisingly enough
