My friend (when he had his warrior) kept telling me that he kept up to a Raptor (Warrior was a '99 and the Raptor was an '03) but I could think of many reasons why.

1. The Raptor only goes about 6 MPH faster than a Warrior on top end
2. The Raptor would have to slow down quicker than the Warrior to take corners
3. The Raptor driver may not be riding right to the end...

 

Well you gotta see that the Warrior was designed about 14 years ago. It's doing pretty good to be in production at all these days and especially to still be compared to the so called state of the art quads like the Z-400. If you want something that you can beat the hell out of, and not worry about your frame bending or some part of the engine breaking, get the tried and true, bulletproof Warrior. If you want something that is definitely quite a bit faster, but has nowhere near the reliability and a much higher price, go for the Z.

 

don't give the warrior is old excuses! the banshee is just as old and its still fast. warriors are just slow their air cooled 2 valve single cam engine cannot keep up with the Z's nice liquid cooled DOHC 4 valve higher displacment motor.

guys what would win in this race? a top fuel dragster or a volkswagon beetle filled with clowns?

 

Z will destroy a warrior, i supposed to race some other kid this weekend on the street, he has a warrior w/ a pipe and i still am not worried and my bike is stock( only 3 weeks old). he ensist his bike is faster, but he will see.
