Probably not if you want to keep up with the big boys. I weigh 195 and ride Raptor 700 (hopefully 180 soon) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

200 lbs is no problem for a 350. Of course it depends on what you're doing though. Just for the average rider, trail riding and just having fun, the 350 is more than enough. If you're planning on racing, running the dunes, and that kind of thing, i'd look for something with more power.

Those guys are right. IF you want to keep up and race and do that kind of thing, then you need something different.

I had a Cannondale for 3 years and could keep up with anyone I cared too. I still had just as much, if not more, fun on my Warrior though. Sometimes the bigger quads tend to make things too easy, whereas climbing the same hill on my Warrior was much more challenging. That, to me, equaled more fun.

If the trails you are riding are really twisty/technical and your a good rider, you shouldn't have any problems keeping up.

Im 6'1" and 205 lbs and my Warrior/Raptor 350 carries me just fine even when it was stock. I do fast/aggresive trail riding with an occasional jump here and there, but I dont get too crazy on the jumps. If you want to do anything more I would suggest getting another bike, like a Raptor 660 or 700.
