there is only one bad thing i don't like with the rap 350,it sucks in the mud,i've gotten stuck 3 times in one day a few weeks ago,it may be the crappy tires.To me dunlop tires are horrible.

Is it a problem with traction that you're having or is it that you're getting high-centred (i.e. low ground clearance probls) ??
I haven't really gone in much mud with my Warrior. 1. I hate getting stuck, especially when alone. 2. I hate getting covered in mud.
I've been in some really really really slick mud with my razr's on and they really blow chunks!! It gets all stuck in between the treads and turns the tires into slicks!! This stuff is more slippery than ice .. blech

If you really want a sport quad, get the Z-400 or a Raptor.....vastly superior to the Warrior and the Warrior with new plastics (the Raptor 350). I still see problems in the mud with any of those, I love 4x4's in the mud.

I am not completely sure if the Warrior and the 350 Raptor share the same old engine or not, but just the frame technology changes would do it for me.
Yep my money would go with the newer technology. But it's your money, check both out, check out the 4x4 350 they make too, it looks like a nice package. You say you want to go mudding alot, 4x4 with racks full of gear might be the ticket.....I think the Bruin is the 350...
But I can definately tell you in no uncertain terms, that one ride thru the mudd on a sport quad, and I gaurantee, you will have anew found fondness of the nice big fat fenders on the Utility quads. Early this year my kid and I rode side by side thru muddy trails at Hollister Hills California, and after the first short ride, the Kid, riding the Raptor, was "done". He was covered in mud and not happy about it. Meanwhile I did not have a spec of mud on me anyway, because my fenders on the Prairie had collected all the mud......Sport quads can be great fun, but there is price to pay for riding in the mud.
