I've been going over this for a while now. I am making my purchase on 13/30 or 31 and I have decided between these 2. I would get the YFZ if I was doing more of the dunes, but I would probably go to the dunes no more than 2 times a year.
I am leaning towards the DS, becasue it seems it is a better bike, spec for spec, but I am concerned about the extra 60 pounds. I have ridden a Predator twice now, and I like that bike as well.
Anyone that knows, Is the DS or Predator faster. I will do the basic mods to whatever bike I get. I will be riding the bike in the desert during the winter and at an elevation of 5500' during the summer. The trails that I will ride in the summer are wide enough for a jeep, but there are some long trails (probably a 2-3 hour ride).
Both bikes are the same price, so what do I do.
Full Version: I Am Getting Ready To Buy
if your rides are 2-3 hours long you need that DS its like riding a cadilac...

I have not raced a Predator yet but im preaty sure in a straight line the Preditor will be faster but not by much, when it comes to duning theres no substitute for displayment and the Ds is hands down going to be a smoother ride. Dont worry about the extra lbs becuase you will never feel them.
If you will be in glamis between X-mas and new years I will let you ride my Ds in the dunes.
yes te predator is faster in a drag race against the 650. in the dunes it is a toss up, casue then you add rider into the equation.
go DS...it has the power the suspension and its a TANK.....Takes A Nasty Kickin
