  • DS450 (BomXCanAm, 08/23/2007 , Ratings: ••••• )
    This is a very nice bike overall.Only qeustion is what is the price in South Africa? What about a bigger bore engine with a looot of power. There's never enough power. The DS650 were probebly one of the best in the busness.I haven't found one person that want's another ATV once has been on the 650X for some time. Simply because he is riding so soft and the groundclearance. Please more power and then some. I would certainly like to get my hands on a DS450.
