LOL. The fact that you compared a warrior to a blaster to tell me how fast it its just makes my point. The warrior has a stigma of being slow, yammi tried to make it sound like they had a new, faster machine as a replacement. From a sales and marketing standpoint they made a good choice, people associate the speed of the Raptor name from the 660 with the name of the raptor 350.

then how come when i race a kid who is 5'1" and he is using a stock 03 Blaster against my 02 warrior, i always smoke him? i weight 130 5'7". Yeah, everyone knows, like i said, that stock for tstock, the warrior wins. And the warrior goes 63 mph, well atleast mine does, on a police radar gun.

its because of your "Alloy DG series front bumper and your Fly racing Pilot Grips"

those mods make a world of difference in speed.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Warrior02man..could you give me a list of quads you have ridden?

Cause even with that Alloy DG Series Front Bumper a Warrior is slow compared to todays sport quad market. If you have ever ridden a Rappy or kawizukicat or even a little ol Preddy you would now understand where a a dated Warrior stands.

I too wish they would have kept the Warrior name after the upgrades they gave it.

3rd gear, mid throttle on the raptor feels like my warriors top speed.

3rd gear top speed is like 48-49 if i remember correctly......thats dang near warriors top speed.

dont get me wrong i love my old warrior.....but the atv industry has passed the warriors design by.

NO CRAP.....BUT A STOCK RAPTOR IS HIGH 70'S, CAN EASILY BE MODDED TO HIGH 90'S.

Warrior can be easily modded to hit upper 70's
..........BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

^^ MAYBE A 450 KIT AND JET FUEL, I HAVE YET TO SEE ONE BREAK 70 MPH.
ALTHOUGH YOU COULD PUT A 16 TOOTH FRONT SPROCKET ON IT AND A LARGE ONE ON BACK AND PROBABLY GET IT GOING 70, MAY TAKE YOU 4 MILES GOING DOWN A CEMENT HILL...BUT ITS DEFINATELY POSSIBLE. HIGHLY UNLIKELY BUT POSSIBLE.

AND THE REASON BLASTERS LOSE...IS BECAUSE 200 CC VS 350 CC........GO FIGURE..........WARRIOR 02, YOU MAY HAVE UNCOVERED AN ATV MYSTERY THAT COULD CHANGE THE FUTURE FOR ALL ATV PREDACESSORS..

200CC 2-stroke and a 350CC 4-stoke. It SHOULD be close.

should be, if the blaster was liquid cooled i think it would be very close if not faster than the warrior.

Actually it shouldnt be close. 200ccs of two stroke should be on par with a 400cc four stroke. Especcialy if it weighs less.
