Default Raptor 350 comparison

Hey guys looking for a sport and unsure of which to get. I know the Z is better than the 350 but how does it compare to it? On a side by side drag, pavement, about how many quad lengths would the z win by? both bone stock.

No question the Z is better than the 350, but u should check out your yamaha and suzuki dealer and see which one would be better for you weight, height, riding purposes, etc.

My two friends have a warrior (same as Raptor 350) and a Z400. They drag raced down the paved road in front of my house and the Z won by about 3 quadlengths in two blocks. They were about the same in experience. There is no replacement for displacement.
Hope this helps.

im like 5'6 and about 135-140. Going to be riding in trails and some small dunes. Just wondering if the rap 350 had enough juice for me..

I test rode one at the dealer (My moms boyfriend works there). I am about 5' 10" 150lbs and personally like the 350, it is perfect for me. It is very comfortable and is alot easier for me to control versus a bigger quad like a raptor or YFZ. It has enough power. I was clocked at 67mph in a 500 yard stretch and it feels very stable. I am thinking of buying a 06 model. (Upgrade from my Blaster and get a discount.)

the rappy 350 will make that dune, but the Z400 is a much better quad in every catagory. and it has alot of aftermarket and alot of room to grow in to.

Holy ****. I just got done going 52 on bros eiger and it seemed like i was going like 70 or so. And i dont need anything more than the 350, we mainly ride in fields. I think buying something more would just be a waste of money. I dont know tho, bigger IS always better
