hey guys im looking at the 350 raptor and maybe the z400. the raptor is more in my range for $$ i am 5'5 110 pounds. 14 years old i had a 250ex and i could do many things on it. I mostly ride on trails sometimes up the street. should i upgrade 350 rappy in advance or get z400 in advance thanks guys.

 

go for the z400, you will get bore with the raptor, its no more than a warrior

 

Z400, Raptor 350 sucks imo lol




its slow and heavy

 

The Raptor350 is not junk, and it should not be too slow for you, especially coming off a 250ex.

It is also not heavy, it is the same weight as a z400.

They are good trail machines and are nothing like the old Warrior.

But the z400 is a far better performance machine. The z400 is quite a bit faster than the Raptor350 and if you have a need to go fast pick the z400.

The z400 was designed at the time to win races, the Raptor350 was designed to be a trail machine. It is only since the 450s came onto the market that the z400 became the trail machine of choice.....

 

I bought my Z400 for trail riding and some jumping ,awesome machine if you can swing it ,but the raptor is areally nice machine also ,I have an old 91 warrior ,that treated me well ,until I up graded to the Z

 

ok..thanx guys i think im gonna have to go with the z but do u think i can swing it around good or i need to just get used to it by the way im 13** sorry.?

 

if i was you i'd be getting the z400...the z400 might be a lil on the big size for you. However your 14 and your still going to grow, probably a lot. Get the 350rap and you'll be bored in less then a year, get the Z and you wont get bored of it on the trails




if a Z is a bit too much $$, look into a 400ex....almost just as good and still better then the 350rap

 

ok thanx guys.... GOOD LUCK on ur quads 2!!

 

I agree to go with the Z. My 11 y/o son has a 350 Raptor and does very well, but he has no problems riding my Z400 anywhere. But he is a little crazy. He runs the hell outta my friends V-force 700 too. Since you have prior experience, the 400 will not be too much for you. go for it

 

go with the z400. when my buddy and i pre-ran a race, my z400 was a lot faster than the 350 and more reliable. i went over 100 miles and he broke down around 40.
