You could consider a Blaster too. You can get a fully decked out one for 1800-2200.
If you decide to get a blaster the 2003+ ones are the only ones with good brakes unless they installed aftermarket hydraulic brakes on an older one.
Id say the rappy over the warrior if you are set on a 4 stroke.

Warriors are a 6 speed manual clutch with reverse and electric start. while a good quad, it is a bit heavy compared to other sport quads. The Raptor 350 is an updated version of the Warrior, with better suspension and frame geometry. If your son is around the 6 foot mark, the Blaster may be a bit cramped, maybe keep an eye out for a good used Raptor 700, I like them better than the dual carbed 660, plus some of the earlier 660s had tranny and starter clutch problems. Remember, he is growing, both in size and skill, so he may find the 350 not as "sporty" when he gets used to the power. The EFI 700 is a larger framed, better suspension, and the liquid cooled motor will run longer and more reliably than the old school air cooled motor in the Warrior/Raptor 350. You will spend more, but will not need to mod it like you would the 350 for more power and better handling.

The Warrior was made from '87 thru around '04 is probably why the price range is what it is. The Raptor 350 is basically a Warrior with new plastic. I would try to find a Raptor 350 because I have seen nice ones priced in the $1500 range on craigslist, and they look and feel better than the Warrior. These machines are built tough, and the simple engines last forever. Look for worn-out front-end bushings/bearings/ball joints and broken upper motor mounts.

Thanks, yeah mine is a '85 but I always liked the red & white '86 so I cloned mine to a '86. The true '86 are hard to come by because they have the 6 speed tranny and better suspension. I will probably regret trading but I just traded it for a '07 Suzuki Z400 that I'm going to try to sell and get my $$$ back that I had in the tri-z.
