But it's WAY too low.

Actually the best seat I sat on ever was a DS650. Did have an aftermarket leather cover on it. But oh man. That thing makes more recliners pale.

I know that I'm new to this forum, but here is my 2 cents. I have both. The EX is stock but the Warrior is slightly upgraded. I like the Warrior for the low end torque for trail riding and riding with the familly(reverse). Have to stop alot for my daughter(10 years old) so the reverse helps bunches. For MX riding I love the EX. I can really get on it without the front end always coming up unlike the warrior. I believe with some suspension mods on the EX, it would be my favorite and could over look the lack of reverse. I think that both are great machines. They just fit into different catagories. The Warrior doesn't seem to take alot of abuse very well though. Lots of maintenance between rides. Good luck with either though!!
ok, I noticed below that you clarified yourself in that your Warrior is modded up pretty good. A 400+cc Warrior is serious modding and with the modding causes the overall reliability of ANYTHING to diminish. In stock trim the Warrior is a tank.

The ex does have much better ergonomics. You're stretched out a bit more. I mearly moved one and was like WHOA nice feel. But that bike isn't exactly what I'd call stock QuadKaryn's Gallery No real good picks of it. Stretched out a bit, a-arms, swing arm, axle. Nobody knows for sure (especially the owner) but it's believed to be a 416, maybe 440...don't ask...she's a blonde. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

If i was you i would get the EX because they are alot easier to make fast then the Warrior. And there is just alot more aftermarket stuff for the EX.

Handling-EX is much better
Power-Some what close but EX will win 99% of the time (lose with bad drivers)
I would def. go for the EX unless you absoultly need to have reverse

even though i am thinking about selling my warrior, it has been a great machine. it has taken a beating and still it runs great. it may not be the fastest thing around, but give me a break, im only 14, its all i could afford
