juvenile if whoever was doing the dyno test ran your stock Ds-650 up to 10000 RPM. It would have exploded like a bomb. To get that kind of RPM out of that motor would require some mighty exspensive bottom end work and some serious vave train improvements. Not everyone on this forum was born yesterday. but at least now I know were you came up with your screen name.

i agree with chrisds650! amt might want to re-read the article when they said the rapor is the best overall high perfermance quad on the market.
i guess he does alot of dune riding sense the ds650 cant go on trails very good without looking like a ping pong ball bouncing off all the trees. lol
95mph on open ground maybe, only about 10mph on trails
Raptors rule! wal mart could make a quad that would put the ds650 to shame. lol

AMEICAN, huh?
Hey AMTchoad Just because you do 95 on a dyno does not mean you will do it on the ground. You have to add weight factor, gravity, and aerodynamics. For example with A truck on ice you can always hit the rev limiter in top gear going 117mph and do it in only a few seconds, and you know its not going to get going to top end that fast on dry pavement.
So Im happy you got 47HP thats good, but dont tell people your going 95 until you have a time slip showing that. Ok

YaMaRaPtoR,

I never once said it did 95 mph on the ground. I said it ran 95 mph on the dyno.Which is impressive either way you look at it.

Have to give you credit man , your post is hillarious!! ping pong *****!! lol!!!And yes I do mostly dune riding. But you guys better read the NEW Dirtwheels. DS Spanks the Raptor . They spend like almost 3 grand to make it ride like a stock DS. Dont quote me on wording because I was told about. Getting the mag. tomorrow!

Just thought I'd remind a few folks of the past....


This whole thread reminds me of the Predator discussions now!
