Durability?? LOL!! Just because a few people have had problems with there bikes meen there not durable? I dont think so!! Mine has held up so far. I here alot about DS650's durabilty. Look at Scobbies bike. He has had alot of problems.

For your information , during a dyno run there has to be a constant load on the bike to be able to read torque. The horsepower is calculated from torgue. Do you really think the rollers on the dyno just totally freewheel?? Well they dont. So know the facts before opening your mouths! The fact is if it will run 10000 RPM in 5th gear then it will run 95 MPH. IT has to unless my clutches are slipping. And I think it will reach that RPM easily because of the broad powerband it has. At 9200 RPM its still pumping out 38 HP! Sorry Raptor man you lose!

The dyno applies just enough load to keep the wheels from spinning. Not as much as a rider on board. Your childish post looks even worse when you speak of dyno's and spell torque as "torgue".

Well excuuuuuuuuse me! For making a typo on torque. Looks like your the childish one. For pointing out something almost everyone here does once in a while. So I guess your the perfect one and eveyone else is childish and dumb.

Raptor spanks a DS in almost everything?? Pffft!! You must be dreaming! They are pretty equal stock. Gives and takes for both. I think the Raptor is a cool bike. A good friend a mine has one. I'm 6'4" and the DS fells good to me. I feel like I'm setting on a E-ton 50 when I sit on his. Its just personal preference. With my mods a Raptor wont even come within 4 bike lenghts of mine in a 100 yard drag.

I guess you never owned a Harley Davidson back in the mid 70,s talk about JUNK. Give me a break american companies will screw you just as quick as the Japanese, ie. Chevy Vega, Ford Pinto, Chrysler Volare, starting to get the picture. Duh !!!!
