i do alot of sand dragging and i have a modified 98 warrior (350cc to a 430cc). and i want something with more power and better for sand dragging. thats what i mostly do. so can someone tell me what is a better buy?

 

any 450 or a banshee

 

Heck most anything 450 and up...

Any of the 450's... KTM/Outlaw 525... KFX700... Raptor 700R... or the old Polaris 400cc 2 strokes.

(I had a race gas Warrior build once)

 

Almost any sport quad (even a 300EX), is an upgrade from a Warrior!

Living near Glamis, I have a bunch of friends who are way into sand drags. In the old days, it was all Banshees with whale pipes. These were great fun at the drags, but totally useless everywhere else! The Shee's day has come and gone....lets let it die a natural death......

Any of the 450's will be a good choice, and even a 400 will be better than a Warrior. Most of my buddies ride Honda 450R's, probably because I was the first to buy one and I highly recommended it. All of them have HRC kits, aftermarket intake and exhausts, and maybe some mild motorwork. Several of them also have extended swingarms and are widened. None of these is so specialized however, that they cannot also be ridden desert cross-country or even on the occasional trail.

 

If your serious and play in the dunes and drag, then the Banshee is the quad you need to pick up.
For power to weight you can't touch a two stroke. A few mods beyond stock; mod for mod a four stroke can't compete.

If your not a 100% serious, then any 450 is a good second choice.
