Husky how can you call the raptor 350 crappy. you say you can beat it but look at your signature..87 Yamaha Warrior-Lots of engine performance mods..well maybe thats why you beat him and probably a LOT more experience. And stock for stock the Raptor 350 would beat the warrior

04 suzuki...
you may be right, I'm just a little on the sad side when I see the warrior go... after all they made them for that long ( with few changes)for a reason. One of the reasons is that they are a very dependeble unit with lots of aftermarket parts on the market and easy to modify for any kind of work or play one can imagine.

I mostly agree with you guys. The Warrior isn't gone, just got a new body and a few other things. However, I don't like how Yamaha named it a Raptor. So now we have the Raptor 660, 350, 80, and 60 right? Looking at the way they're going, I am slightly glad to see the Banshee goin, because I fear if it stayed Yamaha would change it's looks and make it a Raptor too. Don't get me wrong, I think the Banshee is an awesome machine, but it would kill me to see it ruined in a similar way the Warrior was. Yamaha is loosing their creativness. I used to be able to tell the year of a bike by the plastics, now, I don't have a cluse what is what. Everything is Blue and looks the same. I am loyal to Yamaha's quads, but geez, they need their creative touch back. I think they should go back to their old ways where each model year had a distinct set of colors, and riders could easily identify one quad from another. It's almost to the point where I have to look a second time to figure out what is cruisiing on the dunes. And I have all but given up on trying to determine what year a bike is. The biggest thing that proves Yamaha has lost creativity, is their new sport quad....the YFZ450. It doesn't even have a name, it's a model number. Now they're just like Honda. I wish they would have given it a name. Why Yamaha? Why?
