What would you guys suggest for a downhill bike with a budget tops $1700 ???

That's an interesting budget. With $1700 to deal with you're going to have to buy used. I recommend looking for a used 2006 Demo 8 or 9. If you must you may have to go a little older, but Demo's are usually priced pretty good on classifieds, and they're a solid bike.

That's the only bike I can honestly recommend that you'll have a high chance of finding in your price range as a true DH bike. Browse around the classifieds, sometimes theres something you'll want.

That could get you an '06-'07 Sinister R9 or same years/condition Morewood Izimu, both magnificent contenders. You just have to look frequently in places like bustedspoke.com, Ebay, etc.
Lately I've seen a few smoking deals at bustedspoke from guys upgrading their rides, as of now there's a guy selling an '04 Rocky Mtn RMX Pro for $950 which looks pretty good.
