Why are they so heavy they look about the same size as the Banshee or 400ex. The Raptor is even bigger and still the Warrior is heavier.

 

the engine....

 

What about it its 350cc just like the banshee and half of the raptor.

 

The engine is heavy and there i like no aluminum anywhere on it except the engine. Change out the stock exhaust and the stock front bumper thouhg and you can shed quite a few pounds. The stock muffler is terribly heavy.

 

It probably doesnt have any lightening tricks such as,
aluminum swingarm and spindles,
a super reliable, but old tech very heavy 4 stroke,

That kind of stuff adds up.


EDIT: OOPS, he beat me to it!
