If you are over 225lbs , a ds650 would be a better choice.

Awesome! I guess the people I am thinking of weren't the best riders. That's what must have been the difference. I guess I can eat as many cheese burgers as I want now and not have to worry about switching over to a 650. Cool!

What is really funny about these forums, there are topic's on how to make a DS more narrow and lighter more like the Raptor, And making the raptor wider and longer more like the DS.The point Im trying to make is that the ATV builders can not build the perfect quade for everyone.So lets just RIDE...P.S I ride a DS my self but I read the Yamaha forum because I just bought my son a raptor 350..
