Default What is the Raptor 350? A warmed over Warrior?

I was checking out the yamaha site and comparing the specs and they don't seem all that different. Am I missing something? The motor seems a bit more tuned, new plastic of course, but the shocks are lower quality. Is the frame any different? It looks like the front end has different geometrty but its hard to tell. Just seems weird if they made a new frame to stick an old motor in it. here

is that all you people care about is what the "engine" will be? come on now, the engine was already a good one, so they only changed a couple things on it. but the real differences are in Handling. things like changing the dimensions, seat hight, suspention......thats what counts. just "read" the info instead of just looking at pictures and making the specs up in your head......!!!

I know they have done so much,lol whatever pal.why not widen up the wheel base or add a cooling system so when u have to throw $2000 into the outdated motor to hang w/everyone else u wont smoke it.we have read the specs thay are damn near the same seat height,wheel base,tell me difference in the drop on that new suspension,lol whatever

Why do warrior owners get so "offended" by the new raptor 350. just because its a little better than a stock warrior doesnt mean you have to make fun of it. lol.

the fact is...a little better is alot better than not better at all !!!!!
