i would definately go for the shee. i mean it would be kinda pointless to get a rappy or v force, theyre very similar to the ds and wont feel a whole lot different. the banshee will have a totally different powerband. basically to me theres just no reason to get a bike so similar to what you already have.

What??? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

The V Force is nothing like a Rappy or a DS!!! They are completly different rides...they ride totally differnt. PERIOD. How could you even compare them?
The V is a great / fun ride. Really depends on what kind of riding your into. If it were mostly trails...I would say the V or the Rappy. I enjoy riding both of them in the hills...

With the V you would have much fewer concerns w/ ground clearance / chain maintenace / break maintenance / shifting in difficult terrain / etc...I believe those are the main reasons I like my bike. The Raptor would be a close second.

The DS doesn't have reverse...that's my only hangup on it.

how can i even compare them? am i the only one? they are the open class sport quads, all the magazines compare them to eachother. what should i compare them to? 450 4x4 ute class? there are differences sure, but there are a lot more differences in the actual performance between the banshee and ds than there are between the ds and the others, which is why id get a shee, to have a variety of bikes, the performance, handling, speed, accel, size, comfort etc.

I appreciate variety. That's why I'm saying you can't compare the V to the Rappy or DS

to have a variety of bikes, the performance, handling, speed, accel, size, comfort etc.
Ride a DS and Rappy (maybe you have...I don't know). I mean really ride them in the trails or track or wherever. THEN ride a V. Everything you mentioned is drastically different. The V is just a different machine. I don't care where they stick it in magazines.

I'm not trying to be argumentative. It is just my observation. I have had plenty of seat time on these machines and they just do not compare to the V in my opinion. Not that the V is so much better...just that it is a different feeling / perfoming machine.
