Sledman, the warrior and Shee are 2 completely different machines, opposite sides of the spectrum here. Sounds to me like you should look into other models to meet your needs.

Why do you limit your self to 2 of the worst ATVS made. Im not putting you down but i think you should think about something else. Yamaha is going to stop making both models. That should tell you something. Another thing is have you ever seen a pro racer ever race a Warrior. Also i have raced banshees for 3 years motocross. They are very front heavy and handle for crap. also they take forever to dial in because of it having 2 cylinders. If you are on a budget then i would sugest a used 400ex. THey are cheap, the parts are cheap, and they are very well balenced and handle incredible. They are the most bang for the buck. You money is not a factor get one of the YFZ450 or TRX450R. You wont be disipointed with either and alos you will have a new machien that no one had damaged or abused.

IKNOWMORE, these two machines are actually 2 of the BEST quads ever made. They have been manufacrured since 87 with practically no changes to them. The Shee is still king of the dunes, and the Warrior is the most indestructible quad ever built. They just are not the right ones for for MX and XC. I agree that the Honda 400EX or Suzuki Z400 (better IMO + reverse). This guy needs to take a look at what's out there, look at the Raptor, Predator, and DS too.

What? the most indistructable quad ever made---------Sorry I had to pick my self up off the floor. The Warriors only purpose is for beginers and maybe girls that don't ride much. I will give you the Banshee. Great sand quad, but neither one are good for mx.

Pal, I wouldn't go there if I were you. What 4 stroke quad were alot of the "girls" in these forums riding before the 400EX, 5 years ago? Been to another forum besides Honda-world lately? Think before you respond.

I said girls that don't ride much! I don't have anything against girl riders, I have a lot of female friends that ride as well as my daughter. Besides you're missing the point. This does not explain the idustructability of the warrior, and I am simply pointing out the fact that the warrior is a quad for beginners.

My comment was well thought out. I am unfortunately a previous owner of the warrior. The warrior has no suspension, does not like woops, is not a good hill climber, no low and mid range torque, and the stock tires suck!

You dont know anything and are the most ignorant person ive seen on the forums. the banshee is not the worst atv you idiot, and if they are according to you, then why did you race them for 3 years!!!! if you even did!! They are absolutely not nose heavy, in fact i have never nosedived on a jump due to a heavy nose. they only handle like crap to people like you who dont know how to drive them. i can make mine handle great, acctually, i dont ever or havent ever complained about the handling. I dont think you have ever raced a banshee or you wouldnt say the crap you have. I have noticed in your other posts that you are wrong in about half the stuff you post.
