is that a gasgas 300? That is awesome!
Ya, mine came down to comfort while I'm riding (6'8", 250lbs) and I too like to have different toys...it's fun to see other people get beat and then come and look at your quad!

The 08 DS was very cheap back in 2009. Can Am printed too many of the DS450 and had deeper discounts than the other manufacturers. It has been cheap to run so far.

Its a GasGas wild 240,one of eight sold in the U.S.I have a 300 also is in the bike shed,engine is apart,jug getting ported.I am very happy with the DS,seems well thought out and built.Yes supporting racers is great,someone needs to,dirtbikes get all the glory.

Can-Am seems to be the only manufacturer that actually listens, understands and delivers upon the wishes of us enthusiasts. They support the sport, the give us tons of aftermarket goodies on these "stock" quads and don't just make variations of quads to make an extra $. The XC and XMX variations of this quad are very well thought out and executed. I love my XC, best sport quad I've ridden or owned.

They sure had a good idea with their specialty DS450's. I laughted at the yamaha XC version that was just a base yamaha with stickers (maybe shocks). Can Am had all kinds of upgrades with their XC.

I was without a quad for about a year then seen an article in dirtwheels about great leftover deals, bought a super cheap new 08. Liked it so much that I sold the 08 and bought a 11 xmx.
