Full Version: New Raptor
i like it 
It's about time they updated the Warrior. New plastics is nice but the 30lbs they shaved off of it is the best thing.
their finaly replacing the 350 warrior with new plastic HA HA
Look at the suspension, it looks updated.
are they going to completely walk away from the warrior, should be a good middle of the road bike, they need something comparable to the honda 400ex.
Won't be able to tell you for sure until late this afternoon.

They already have something comparable to the 400EX, it's called a Raptor660.
j/p
definitely not warrior suspension. Probably a good business move in that they didn't have to engineer a new powerplant. And I think that motor is probably pretty reliable by now. But it sure needs a lot of help in the power department. But it does give a more modern option to the family that is very brand loyal.
Hey Bad, that was a low blow, I never said that raptors are the best bike on the planet, but they sure as hell are better than a 400ex.
I've only ridden a Raptor twice, but I like the handling and ride of my wife's 400EX much better, even the extra power of the 660 doesn't make it even in my eyes...but the one I rode was stock, maybe suspension does wonders...
Is this going to replace the warrior? I dont like that front bumper

Hehe, I'm just jackin with ya Ian. Gotta throw a little something in the mix to keep the Honda - Yammi rivalry alive and well.
350? its a two stroke right? comes with a turbo? 350? o.k. 
no...its just a glorified Yamaha Warrior
Its all good, just gotta defend my turf, know what I mean, as yes suspension works does WONDERS for the raptors ride.
