Newfoundland-I'm not comparing the Warrior to the 450R, I'm comparing it to EVERY bike I have ever ridden! (I was probably riding a Warrior before most of the kids in this forum were even born.) Actually, the 350 engine is the best part of the machine. It is low tech air cooled and 2-valve, but has good bottom end and is durable/reliable. The new Raptor 350 should have a lot of possibilities if they have updated the chassis! But, runts is on a budget, so that is out for him.

 

I own a warrior right now and mine is a pile. lol, but all the others i have rode are durable and have good power but go with a 400ex if ya can afford it runs longer than you will.

 

i think its a great quad along with the 300ex esp. in the trails and farms and what not. i think it is kinda stupid of yamaha that they are going to stop making them.
