Okay guys, this thread was gonna happen sooner or later...so discuss!

 

i think we all know the answer to that one. the 350 is a faster version of the warrior so what do you expect..

 

Probably the Raptor 350...But your missing one thing...

IT"S NOT OUT YET

 

I know it's faster. It's lighter, newer technology so there probably is less power loss from the motor to the wheels and there could be even more factors. How is the reverse set up? Is it like the Raptor's or the Warrior's?

It would be very interesting to see this new machine outperform a 400ex. If it can outperform a 400ex then congratulations Yamaha.

 

LOL you guys don't waste any time do ya?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Its simple Raptor 350 any quad worthy of the raptor name has to be fast... Come on know you guys should know that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

I think yall need to go look at the pics and specs. It is a warrior with different plastic. Weight difference is only 22 pounds, but that can be attributed to the smaller tires,different rear shock, 3mm smaller carb, and lighter exhaust. You would be better to just buy a used warrior and put the 350raptor plastic on it. Probably bolts right up with little to zero mods. But it is not gonna be a 400 killer. Thumbs down to yamaha again. They did the same thing with the raptor 90. Same bike different plastic and price. At least the yzf450 is built from scratch instead of on the warrior or 660 platform.

 

I think that the rappy is better...BUT!

ITS NOT OUT!!! JUST LIKE warrior68man said!

Dirt Wheels should have a shotout between the 2 sooner or later...

 

The 400ex will still spank it. Why? because the 400 has 5 more cc's, its lighter, if you look at the rapter 350 engine its the same as the warrior so its only a 2 valve compared to the 400ex's 4. and the engine on the 400 has a lower center of gravity than the 350's due to its dry sump oiling system so i dont think the raptor 350 will take the 400ex at all........except maybe looks.

 

Hows it gonne be faster with the same motor?!?! There is NOTHING new on it it just weighs 50 lbs less.

 

In the original article about it, I think it has a faster revving cam, and a more open exhaust.

And of course since it's a RAPTOR....it's going to be fast....and is definetly one of the best looking quads made.
