The Warrior is a reliable machine with ok acceleration, but its heavy and most of the weigh is up front, making it handle horrible compaired to modern machines. Yamaha needed to update that thing 10 years ago and never did. Not a smart buy if your buying new.
The Z250 will most likely be very similar to a 250EX, probably a little faster knowing Suzuki's reputation for 1 uping Honda.
The 300EX would be great for smaller unexperianced riders, but would seam slow when rideing with the modern quads.
Do yourself a faver, save a couple more beans and get a Z400.

 

yes motoxpress, but it is very outdated, and all it does is cause problems.

 

Back to the subject of 300ex or warrior.(since we dont know about the ltz250) I'v spent alot of time on both machines and my personal preferance is the warrior.I havn't seen any problems with them.(exept when my friend wrapped it around a tree)

 

get the Z. like megacrash said. i have been trying to tell him that for a while now. hay 250xRKrider you can show jake what you need to show him and i can show you what that guy just said. the Z is pretty damn nice. only problem with it is its a little tall. great engineering on that thing.

 

come on the z400 is a toy campared to the predator 500. predator has better handling, suspension, power, and speed. try reading my other post. which one do you think is better the z400 or the predator 500?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

predator500. it rules the quad world but next up would be the Z.

 

i didnt ride a predator yet but from what i hear it isnt all that..its front end heavy..doesnt have the fast rpm gain like the z ..and it doesnt feel to light in the trails....as for drag racing the predator..should win it has 100 cc.s..but for the money difference i would go with the z ..for the difference in money you can put a pipe and jet kit in the z and beat the predator..

 

Snowbuster j/w what kinda quad u got?

 

Oh, please don’t ask. A rancher. I really didn’t know much about quads and that looked pretty good. All I knew was that utilities are low maintenance so it sounded good enough for me. I knew sport quads were high maintenance so that scared me away a little. I think everybody should have 2 quads a utility and a sport. They’re both fun as all hell. And when it comes to maintenance utilities are harder to get to the parts but cheaper. And sports quads are going to be easier to get to the parts but more expensive. It seems this way with all quads. Why can’t they just make all the parts on every ATV easy to get to and cheaper ways of replacing them? What do you guys think?

 

well snowbuster, i feel just the opposite. utility quads parts are no cheaper than sport quads.
