To be honest with you, neither of them belongs on the mx track. That said, the raptor is a little more friendly there. From what it looks like you are just talking about goofing around. Both are great for that, hey, every quad is great for that.

I'm a little biased but, I'd say the Rappy is the all around better machine. It is very comfortable yet lighter and, smaller. It Is also a better MX bike. It is cheaper and, easier to find upgrades and, aftermarket support. But, hey i'm a Yamaha guy.

My buddy has a DS Baja, it is pretty sweet and, i'd kill for the tach on my Raptor but, I would choose the Raptor over the Ds's. We dragged them a bunch of times and, were pretty even. He is 150lbs and, i'm 245 though. I would beat him till 5th gear and, he would pass me.

Considering the weight difference and what not, I would think the rappy would handle better in the air.
