I just checked the yamaha 2005 website. I noticed there was not a 05 warrior or a bear tracker. I am glad I own a 04 warrior. They are tanks and great for the trails. I sold a 2003 bear tracker to purchase the bike last year. Both bikes will be truly missed.
Does anyone know when they will be discontinuing the Banshee. If they discintinue it I will be trading up for one. I don't care what my wife says. Seeing these quads go brakes my heart.

04 warrior lots of mods

 

Long live the Warrior!

 

You've still got the Raptor350 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img].

Yes indeedy .. a sad day. Ahh well, she had a good run boys. Is there any other quad out there that can claim a 17 year production history? Espeically a 17 year basically unchanged production history ...

 

17 years, I think the banshee, blaster and mojave have been around that long or close without change.

 

True, though the blaster did get new brakes in 2003. That is the type of positive improvement they needed to do on the Warrior .. take something on the bike and just make it much better, not rename it and restyle it like they did with the Rap 350 ...

 

the only problem I have with the rap350 is the name... they all ready had a raptor why not be more original or just call it a warrior. I think they did good with the restyling but they should have still called it a warrior

 

Warrior went through changes in its early days including front plastic, headlights, brakes, engine position in the frame, etc.

I can't think of anything the Mojave has changed though.

 

yeah i noticed that to no more warrior [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]............. but i got a 2004 so the next will be yfz450[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

what's the diff? isn't new exhaust, tires, shocks, carb etc considered a positive improvement? It has to be if you consider new brakes an improvement [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I like the new Rap350, not a fan of it's name, but oh well. Now Yamaha has what, 4 Rappys?
