What is wrong with the Raptor or 400EX? These are both tough bikes and probably a little cheaper than the DS and Cannondale. Though I don't know how much the Cannondale is.

get either the banshee or the ds. the cannondale is not a good choice in my opinion. ride both the banshee and the ds and see which one fits your riding style the most.

I agree with deathtripper depends on what kind of riding you want to do.I personally love the raptor.A friend of mine has a ds650 its also a great machine.Both handle good and about the same speed.I had to put four inch spacers on the rear and turn the front wheels around to widen the Quad to get the raptor to turn better without tipping.Also don`t forget the 400ex you can`t beat the value! Cheaper as far as price gos,great power,handling lots of aftermarket goodies.I like four strokes because of durabity,torque and wide powerband.tough choices!

I'm also thinking of buying a quad. I'm leaning for the 400ex, but algo considering the ds650.

i ride mostly x-country, or go for a ride by a dry riverbed. My buddies ride mostly warriors.

I'm not much into the king of driving as from a banshee, it's way too unpredictible for me.

I haven't ridden anything other than warriors, banshees and 250R's

Raptor is out of the question, 'cus i have to pay more than 55% in taxes in order to inport it to Mexico.

From what i read all over the net, the 400EX is a great choice, but i'm afraid to fall short. I'm 230 lb.
