Hey guys. I need your help here in deciding if I should get a 350 raptor or not. I am also considering the honda 400ex and the suzuki z400. The raptor is $1000 cheaper. Is the 50cc extra worth the $1000?? Will the raptor run as well and bulleteproof as the other 2 400cc's?? Do I really need a 400cc bike? I trail ride but mostly am on the track but do not race with anybody. I just enjoy accelerating fast and jump once in a while. I stand 5'6" and 147 pounds. Need your comments ASAP. I am planning to get one this Friday. THanks.

 

one thing i must say... the warrior is an indestructable quad... and the raptor 350 prolly isn't much different.. but i have no idea yet.. the engine and frame is i beleive the same.,.

 

From what I saw, the Raptor 350 is the exact same thing as our 350 Warrior. Just a new name.


I swear the thing is bulletproof!

The only problems I've had is it popping out of gear when shifting up steep hills. But that could be driver error somewhat!


I've taken mine through nearly 3 feet of water and it never got inside the engine or stalled out!



I bought mine for trail riding and it is perfect for that.

but once people got me into going with them to the Dunes and the Cinder hills I found out it lacks a little bit of power [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

While a Banshee hauls at teh Dunes, and Warrior is a torque monster when putting up rocky hills without the need to even rev it up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

little history... the warrior has alot of torque becaues it was designed for farmers...

 

The warrior/raptor 350 is a great quad and is very dependable but alot of people buy then get tired of the power very quik. I think the z400 for $1000 more is definately worth it. If you just want a good trail quad that will run good and not worried if people are faster then the raptor 350 is a good choice.

I still have a warrior Ive had for a couple years and its never given me 1 problem. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

^^^ or id u are just build it like mine lol

 

thanks. i just found out that the local dealerships are selling their suzuki z400's and honda 400ex's for $1000 less!!! i think they are either the 05's or 06's. but either way, i can't say no to this.
