also what do you guys/girls think about warriors. and since i am on a tight budget i am looking for the early to late 90's. what are the pluses and minuses of the warrior? does it handle well?what is the top speed of a stock warrior? what kind of atv would you compare it with? thanks for your input.

 

The Warrior has been out for so long that you should be able to find one within any price range. The top speed stock is around 61mph. It is a little heavy for a 350cc at around 400lbs. If your used to something lighter then the weight would be noticeable. It is compared to the 300EX alot. It has a more sit back feeling. It takes slightly more effort to stand while riding. Try sitting on a couple different quads to see the difference.

 

thanks for your help,

I just got a 2001 Warrior. I love it. It was between that and the 300EX. I wanted mo-power. I'm only 5'10" and the 300 just felt too small. Mine is great on trails. I haven't taken it through any mud yet, but everywhere else it does great. It has more than enough power for me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Yo, The Warriors are pretty good I am about to get a 1999 in about a week or two. You will find this quad really fun and plus it has the 6th gear and it can go about 65mph stock, I am not pretty sure of it, but i am positive

 

Don't let anybody tell you that there is only a 2 mph difference in top speed between the Warrior and the 300ex either. My Warrior runs dead even with a Scrambler 500 2x4 with me (135 lbs.) on the Scrambler and my brother (240 lbs.) on the Warrior. I would imagine about 64 or 65 also.

 

Stock 300EX 54/55mph and the Warrior 60/61 mph. The 400EX is around 64/65mph stock.
