I can't decide on what to get a raptor or another Warrior so I would like anyones thoughts or opinions. I like to do a lot a trail riding along with thrill riding- moderate jumps, going into the corners sideways, typical stuff. Has anyone had any troubles with the Raptor? I rode one last week and it was a little hard to get it to corner without wanting to nose dive to one side. I only got to ride it for about five minuts though. Any help would bee appreciated.

If $$$$ is not a concern...DEFINETLY get a Raptor. TONS more power and better handling. The Warrior is a great quad, but it's just not in the same class.

Fauker,
What the heck!!!!!! Yes get a Raptor.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I rode for 2.5 hours on mine this last sunday doing high speed test runs across the county on the rock roads and never had so much fun.
One time I got one of those cold rushes when I was going very fast and looked behind me to see a white Crown Vic Ford just like the state troopers use. I slowed down and when the Crown Vic got closer I realized it was just one of the locals when it had all the chrome on it.
The Raptor660r is a need not a want.
Chet

I honestly don't see you doing much "thrill riding" on a Warrior. The Raptor takes a different riding style do to the power and it's height. After you get used it, it's a blast, and the Warrior will bore you. Mods to the Warrior are just as expensive as the Raptor, but I see better results on the Raptor due to the displacement advantage. I was a couple weeks getting used to mine because the power comes on NOW, as opposed to the accelerator pump equipped Warrior, which has a little delay. Get a Raptor, add a K&N air filter/Dynojet/slip on pipe and you've got 48 HP, all for about $275 worth of mods. You'll never see that with the Warrior without throwing thousands of dollars at it, and you still have an air cooled motor. I own them both, and it's Raptor hands down.
