I like my Raptor is a great beginner bike, even a better trail bike.

 

I wasn't trying to dis my warrior, I love my warrior. All I do is trail ride and its great for that. I have a few mods. Wite Bros R4 Exhaust and proflow air filter. Its just where I ride there is a few hill climbs I have yet to try becouse I dont think I can make it. Can the warrior make it up? Maybe but I have yet to work up the nerve to try. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] I dont really care about top speed (I am not that kind of rider) I just wish it pulled a little harder.

But for the price I paid for the warrior ($2200) it is a great first bike, I highly recomend it.

 

jaygood...strap on a helmet and give it a shot...whats the worse that could happen? ok u fall...but when u get up, u wont have to wonder if u could do it anymore...problem solved...good luck, the warrior should have the power to do what any other 350 could

 

Dude,

You will NOT run out of power....lol. I dropped a tooth on my front sprocket, and I'm climbing usually in second, and sometimes in third. I know everyone brags and whatnot, but take it from a 30yo who has no reason to brag, it takes hills that people think we're retarded for even trying. And we're usually not just "climbing", but racing up huge hillclimbs. Unless something's wrong with it and it's not running good, it will go up anything. And if you're concerned about it, drop a tooth and you'll never have to worry about running out of power.....

 

I don't know if u knew this already, or figured it out yet r4pt0r, but the new raptor 350 is the exact same thing as the old warrior, except for a small engine reverse mechanism and body fenders. I also have a warrior and it is a great bike for trails and new learners. It pulls me around easily and i am over 200 lbs., so im pretty sure it will do the same for anyone else. It is good handling, and accel., but not as fast obviously as the 700 or banshee.
