Are you racing District 6? Forget the Warrior for scrambles if so. If you are young enough to run the teen class I would go with a 300EX. Usually the Warrior is to big engine wise and you would have to run against the big quads.

Otherwise I would still pick the 400. Better suspension, better handling, and more power. You will dump a lot of money into a Warrior to keep up with 400 class machines, and they in turn have a hard enough time holding off the 450 class machines.

Looking at used machines, the price difference just isn't big enough to justify the Warrior for racing on any level. As much as it pains me to say that, but the simple reality is the Warrior and 350 raptor are basically a mid '80s design, while the Honda is at least a late '90s design.
