raptor 250r or 350
#2
The 350 is essentially unchanged from the '86 Warrior. The 250 is much more modern, not to mention lighter. In a straight up drag race, my money would be on the 350. Handling, suspension, and power/weight ratio is more favorable for the 250 though which gives it an edge for track and trail.

Interesting. I have ridden both, but not at the same time and never seen them raced against each other. I agree the 250 is tiny compared to the 350, basically Yamaha revamped the old 230 Suzuki Quadsport for current times, lol.

Not sure your reasoning for asking, but if you are trying to decide on which you want i think the size is a bigger role here and you should probably be thinking about either a 250 class, or 350/400 class machine rather than comparing between two machines in different classes.

i've ridden both, 250 definitely isn't faster, but it has alot better low end power manage ment. It definitely is lighter and the suspension is alot softer/more forgiving than the 350. The 350 suspension definitely is dated, but the bike is not ment to be jumped. If you want a smooth/softer ride look into the aftermarket. I wouldn't recommend the 250 over the 350 though, the 350 is a better starting platform and even with simple ad ons will outperform the 250. The only time i would ever think of recommending the 250 is to someone 9-13 wanting to get into 4 wheelers. otherwise you will be upgrading quickly.
