would i be happy with the power output of this bike?

My uncle had one for a while, overall it wasnt a bad bike.

Pros - tons of power, comfortable, nice stance, with big cubes
Cons - the front fenders seemed to break off every time we rode, high center of gravity, dont even think about tight trails, and it feels like you driving a tank.

I liked riding the bike in large open spaces, beach's, ATVMX tracks etc but I just hated it in the woods as its just a huge bike. The fenders eventually just got cut off and never used again. I had no problem keeping up with this bike in the woods when I was on my Warrior and there we a few times that a friends EX400 could take the DS, of course once the trail opened up the DS was long gone but would get caught in the woods again, cat and mouse all day. I would not buy one as the woods is where most of my riding is and the smaller less powerful bikes seem to be way more fun than the overall bigger framed bikes.

No problem, if you like the big ones, you will love that bike. It pulls hard and typically is one of the fastest stock bikes you see out, atleast around here anyways.
