i wouldnt put a beginner on a 400 man. thats like puttin a 9 year old behind the wheel of a car. i would say the raptor 350 and 300ex are probablly the best beginner bikes. they have decent power and are easy to manover and operate, and both have bullet proof engines with excellent reliability.

I was curious about the Raptor 350 myself. Sure, it's only a 350 but it weighs less than the 400's out there so it may not exactly get left in the dust, especially with some suspension upgrades. It's the Warrior motor, which has proven itself over the last decade+ to be a very reliable motor and it makes decent power....it was just saddled with all the weight of the Warrior bike itself, which was built like an M-1 Abrams. For just about $5,000 brand new it seems like a good deal. At about 270 lbs, it wouldn't be powerful enough for me in the long run, but a smaller lighter guy or gal could surely tear it up pretty well with one as a casual rider.

ya, i need something to learn on, im not very heavy either so i was thinking that a 350 would be a good beginner quad. also i like the reverse too

Well i think it was in dirtwheels they had a test with the raptor 350 300ex and something else i wanna say the 400ex but im not sure but i kno the raptor 350 came in last

I've got one and it is a great bike.Compared to the warrior,the rap 350 is a whole lot more comfortable and can fit a taller rider pretty comfortable also.Performance wise the rap 350 is about 1-2mph faster on top end and is quicker accelerating,but a big plus over the warrior is the improved throttle response.I've had mine about 8 months now and have had no problems,besides a flat tire.

my freinds little brother has one...hes like 12 or so and it is a good beginner quad to learn on

[Honda400exrox]

kool thanks for the information

[Butters]

yeah i have heard good things about the raptor 350. my dad had a warrior and it has always been a good quad.

[Honda400exrox]

and the 350 raptor has the exact same engine as the warrior except for the pipe, or so that what dirtwheels says
