that's not right. they did more than change the plastic. it has a new carb, a new pipe,suspension upgrades and lost a little weight too

They are so hungry for power its sad! I dont own on, but my friend does, and he keeps it at my house! The first time I rode it I was just amazed, for only have 50cc less than my 400... wow its lacking on the power side of things... Would not recomend... then again, K&N and Jet it... see if that will wake it up... but stock, no way!

what's sad is they want $4,999 for it and I got my 400ex for $4,300 :huh

Yes, but it has the same slow, underpowered, and outdated warrior motor.

Its not supposed to be a speed machine. Its a trail quad. If it was me i wouldnt even consider one when u can pay a little more for a 400ex(well in my case i saved $100 buying the 400ex instead of a raptor 350)

Before I say this, please no one trash me..... Now that I have said that.... They aren't a bad beginer quad. Price aside, they are faster than a 300ex stock. They have a bullet-proof engine, although it is old. People say the same thing about my 400ex, and I love it to death. I have had a warrior, and it was a decent quad. I wouldn't want it again, but it was great for a first bike. Just my $.02

i hope they changed the brakes on the raptor 350 cuz the warrior ones blew ***

my dad has one...loves it for all i know

i dont care for it because it feels different from my blaster
i just love that two stroke feeling and powerband over a fourstroke (maybe another reason)

id suggest it for trails...theyre a nice but pricey bike and the brakes are wonderful, as soon as your touch that lever theyre slowing you down

I sat on one the other day, I liked the seat, it was nice and grippy. But the front plastics came too far back , and I hit my knees on them when I moved around a little.

I dont think they should of upped the CC's, i just think they should have made it a 4 valve head instead of the warriors 2 valves.

I've got an 02 300ex that is stock, and 3 of my friends have warriors. One of which is my old 96, and they are all faster than the 300ex no matter who is riding what. They jump better too, but the 300 is the wheelie king of them. Like I said, they are all stock. Just my $.02
