whoops, i forgot an "e", but rest assured I know how to spell awesome. The ironic thing is that I correcting people on spelling but I failed english class, looks like im gonna be taking that class over again next year lol

 

Did you learn how did to read in school?,,or did you even go at all? this about the 99'th post ive read where someone says "its the same thing" . but it is NOT. go back to yama's website and "read" everything about the new raptor 350, and you might noticed that they changed alot more than just looks.....wow. i feel really smart when i read these forums lmao.

and what i think about it, is that its cool and i might buy one!

 

I wonder if this thing and the warrior will share engine parts? Looks identical motor wise minus the carb

 

I think that they should have made it a totally different looking bike. Ever sinve the raptor came out all the sport bikes have came out with alot of similar looking plastics. I kinda liked the warrior because nothing else looked like it. As for the banshee if they ever changed the plastics it would be a sin. It is by far the most unique looking atv there is. It cant be mistaken for anything. they should all be that way unique.

 

Not exactly the same ..

new rappy has slightly different rear suspension (little more travel) it's a bit lighter and the carb on the new rap is a 33mm vs. a 36mm on the Warrior. Wouldn't that kinda restrict the power?

In my own honest opinion .. why bother? And it costs more than the Warrior too!! Also has less ground clearance and higher seat than the Warrior. I dunno .. for myself it just seems a bit foolish.

Now, if they had used a more up-to-date motor, that would be great, like a 400 liquid or something .. Nah .. Yamaha can keep this one .. I'll stick with me ol' Warrior.
