I have a wolverine right now and my previous wheeler was a honda 200 sx . My friend let me take his ds 650 this week and let me tell you . fun fun fun . I was so impressed with it that i may buy it . I like to describe it as " scary fast " I wanted a raptor but after riding this i dont know . The only downfall is the lack of reverse but it is light enough to compensate . He only wants 4600 for it and it's an 04 . He has only rode it a dozen times but i do like the looks of the 700 raptor . But if i get his i would be saving a few grand and it's just as fast . Any oppinions ???????

 

Well try riding the raptor first. The DS comforts best the big boys, sice it's so big. It's heavy, but it's also fast and handles well. I can't tell you anything about the new raptor because I haven't rode one yet. But the 2001-2005 models are just as fast as the DS, have reverse and also handle well. It's all up to you. Good luck!

 

light enough to compensate?? Those things are biig...like already said, good for the bigger person...the raptor is just as fast or faster, and handles better (in my opinion) and has reverse. Ride a raptor, then decide
