Default New quad

I am hopefully getting a new quad to replace my Blaster soon. I am in a bind whether or not to get another sports quad or a utility.(I go trail riding alot) My love is sports quads however. I was thinking a Raptor 350 or YFZ(but doubt im spending that much)

i went from a 250ex to a raptor 350 and with a couple of mods i love it. It can do everything i like. Jump, wheelie, and it can be made pretty fast. With all my mods below i can kill a blaster in any drag i think the 350 is an all around amazing quad.

If you get a yfz you won't go wrong espeacially if u put a pipe and filter on it that will wake it up big time

Look into a bike that is sporty and has 4wd. Such as the suzuki vinson or you can never go wrong getting a grizzly.

The YFZ is nothing compared to the Rator 350! I personally think the 350 pushes just a bit more power than the blaster, but thats just me. You should consider a 400, those are nice in trails.

Yea im a pretty big guy 5'8 215 and i am real top heavy when it comes to jumps and riding period. I seriosuly was thinking a Raptor 350, a YFZ is alot and ive only been riding for a year now but now i am used to the clutch and i want a bigger faster meaner more intimidating quad.

I looked at both the YFZ and Raptor 350 I ended up getting the Raptor for 3 reasons: 1) It has reverse and I ride trails 2) It has been around for a long time (use to be the Warrior) and is a simple time tested machine 3) The YFZ is a racing quad that will require more maintainence, if your just a casual trail rider like me I'd save my money and go with the 350. Plus, I'm 6'1" like 217 and it carries me around just fine.

Shouldn't have to worry about any year the raptor 350 was made. It is a warrior with new plasitcs pretty much.
