Teaching quads a lesson
Theres a pretty good shoot out of all the big bore open class sport quads in the March issue of ATV Sport magazine. They tested head to head the DS650, Raptor, Predator, and V-force. Heres the performance chart - you guys draw your own conclusions. Its a little blurry (no scanner - used my camera) - The Yellow is the DS650, Red Predator, Blue Raptor, Green V-Force.

Holy Shiato that DS650 owns. Wow. It's also the heaviest next to the V-Force too isn't it?

Yes, its like 480lbs - and thats with nearly 20lbs shaved off from last year!. Those Rotax motors are just that good.

I disagree with the top speeds IMO...but it depends on where they tested...
Ya gotta love those DS650's....I do

They tested them at sealevel in California on hardpack dirt with some sort of super new radar gun.
