I guess I cant diss the DS because it doesnt do that! lol

Hell lets all just ride dirtbikes instead lol

Dirtbikes have their issues to, like old age riders for instance. And yes, the YFZ has the issue with the oil. That's an easy remedy though. Didn't know they ran that lean though.

At the risk of getting a little off topic ... dirt bikes sure can cover the rough terrain in a hurry, and do it very well. The problem we have with our dirt bikes is their limited fuel range. Anything over 40 miles and you need to be looking for fuel, and it is tough to carry fuel with you. ATVs (even the DS 450) can go 70 miles on a tank, and are easier to take more fuel with you.

Right you are.

I was preparing to debate Mack on that one for that very reason.
