Default 660R, DS650... or...?

ok im selling my warrior... and getting something that fits me better, im 6'2 and around 220 pounds... lol so the warrior feels alittle small

SO.. whats the best quad for me.. i ride trails alot.. but these trails r really long twisting trails that have mud in some spots an grass an even really soft sugar sand type stuff... i have reverse on my warrior but iv never onced needed it.., i want something big with even bigger power.. also thought about the KFX700.. but i dont know anything at all about the 700.. or if theres another big cc quad i might like let me know

price doesnt matter im getting a job..... an im a loner which means no bills to worry about [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I have ridden both an I love the DS 650. I has no reverse but that isn't a big deal. It is soooo smooth the seat is sooo soft and the suspension has like 11-12 inches of travel. In my opinion it is the caddy of quads smooth and powerful.

That 700 is a big machine to try and throw around on the trails. Im your height and your weight after I loose a few lb's and one of the things I like about the raptor is that the ergos are great for guys our size. You should consider the raptor. I hear the DS has got a wicked mid range but does not have a good low range and it is quite a bit bigger than the raptor. On the other hand, the rotax engine is supposed to be reliable. Let us know what you pull the trigger on.

The KFX 700s power won't scare the hell out of you then if that is one of your defining criteria. It will scare the hell out of you if all that weight rolls over on you.
