how many of you guys own a raptor 350
Hey the rap 350's are great machine,they have pretty good power,handling,and suspension.They are very comfortable and i like the wide footpegs and the looks.The only bad things are the tires,they don't have to good traction and the parking brake will go out in about a week,just like every other yamaha.

Rappy 350
I've ridden one and they are pretty nice. I however was very shocked that it was not as different from my Warrior as Yamaha would like you to believe. I thought the ergos were supposed to be so superior but to be honest it didn't feel all that much different.
You sit up higher and the foot pegs are sweet, but beyond that with a set of aftermarket bars the Warrior feels very similar when you are standing up or sitting down. I guess if you are taller the Rappy might work better since you sit a bit higher.
Power-wise my Warrior beat him every time but only by like 3-4 bike lengths. I'm sure if you did the same mods to the Rappy it would be a matter of rider and not bike as to whom would win.
If you are buying a 350 and not a 660 because of money I can see it, otherwise the 660 is a better ride in stock form.
I was also not amazed with the 350s suspension. It didn't feel so much better than the Warrior as Yamaha claims either.
But as with the Warrior all those years, it's a fun machine if it fits you and it can grow with you with cheap mods.
