how do these 2 machines compare... to me it seems like they'd be about the same?

 

Raptor is 22lbs lighter and has a better stock exhaust and the suspension is stiffer. thats it.

 

From what I have read, the powerband has narrowed requiring more shifting on the raptor 350. I believe they have changed the cam and carb also.

 

i truely like the warriors they can go throw more stuff there better on trail dunes and mud the raptor 350 is more of a racing quad like its big bro

 

Waayy to much wheel spin on the Rappy 350..My little brothers felt stiff compared to my 02. Plus unless you are on an incline or pavement its real hard to pull the front tires off the ground.

 

I was on a flat gravel road and I did a wheelie and I ended up running behind it holding onto the bars. Its not THAT hard to wheelie. I have never ridden a warrior before so I can't tell you the difference. But I sure like my Rap[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

i think the raptor 350 would win its 22lbs lighter a better carb more reponse on throtal the top ends a little heavey but it makes up for it

 

past weekend at my house my buddies raced their rap and warrior the rap won on hill race and flat while my zilla killed both every time

 

well i have raptor 350 and i ride with a couple of guys that have warriors and we all hit the road alot and the raptor does have a little more take off and top end i usually am about 3 atv length's ahead when we peg them the raptor differs by a new cam - exaust - suspension - and weight and it seems to give it a little advantage but not much but i do like how the raptor feels over the warrior and i like how the power comes but anyways their both winners cause there (((( yamaha ))))) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
