I have an 05 350 Raptor and it's great. I've never ridden a warrior so I can't say how much the Raptor is better, it at all. The Raptor 350 decends from a warrior not a 660 Raptor so i'd have to say the warrior is a good quad also.

 

I wish they hadn't done away with those headlights from the warrior... They should have made it a dual valved top end, that would be a good upgrade. Still seems a little narrow still also...

 

The Raptor 350 is a updated, sportier version of the Warrior. The Raptor 350 will beat a Warrior in most any race situation(with equal riders). I know a lot of people hated to see the Warrior go, but I like the updated version better. The Raptor 350 looks better, has a better suspension, and updated features on the motor.

The only thing Yamaha forgot, was to change the motor completely and make it a 400.

 

For what yamaha slacked on others will make up with 400+ strokers. I'm kind of glad I've had the chance to do most of the mods myself though, you can learn quite a bit from doing them. I would agree about favoring a whole new 400 warrior/raptor. They should keep the saddle height and everything just as low for medium sized riders also. 2" wider on each side stock would be nice. If they did all the above it would be one mean machine.

 

Yes that would've been sweet if they made it a 400,but i guess they didn't want to change,so the rap350 could dominate the beginner class quads.
