i know blasters would be overall quicker than a 350 raptor, but the 350 isnt as tippy as the blaster...

which one would you choose?

A raptor 350 would walk on a Blaster........ And it handles better, better suspension, more reliable, has reverse. Overall the Raptor kills a blaster.

stock for stock a rappy 350 but nothing more fun than a 2 stroke.

Yeah, nothing more fun that kickstart and fouled plugs....lol. Seriously though, Blasters can be a lot of fun if you put a little work into them. But off the showroom floor the Raptor will kill a Blaster.

ppl who never rode a raptor 350 think its identical to the worrior, i was surprised at the 350 raptor when i rode one, it was nothing like my bros old 03 worrior, it was way more peppy, and it felt lighter, personally i like both quads, but im little and the blaster feels easyer to jump/move around on

blasters are great just take some plugs with ya and change it out if you foul one its easy. And they are quick and snappy 2strokes are fun

i would take a blaster over a rappy 350 anyday...rappy 350's are gutless(in my opion(SP) because i ride a z400) but at least u can get some power out of a blaster

I've had a bunch of Blasters and I've got a Raptor 350 now...depends what kind of riding you do Id say. If you're more into pits and tracks, kind of riding where you arent just going fast for long periods of time, Id say Blaster. But any long trail rides, dirt roads, stuff like that...Raptor 350 would be best. The 2 stroke Blaster I think has more power out of the box, but try to go full speed 6th gear for a long period of time and she doesnt like it. Good thing about a Blaster though is that you can get one used, like late 90s, for under a thousand bucks (here anyway) and she'll run forever...even if you break something theyre cheap to fix. Those Raptors even used wont be less than $3000...so thats something to consider too.

I’ve never ridden a 350, and I own a blaster, I don’t go anywhere close to as fast and i don’t beat my bike, I’m a newb, well not really, but I’m not very good anyways, but i was riding at a pit one time and some kid showed up on a 350 and was doing wheelies, he was well keeping up with my friend on his 400ex, idk if this helps...

I’ve fowled a few plugs in my year or two of riding my beast, I had the wrong temp. plug in my bike while trail riding and I had to wait in the woods for my dad to run to his truck to grab another1 that was a little hotter I believe...and the next weekend i was riding at a track and fowled a plug because I had the trail plug in it when I shoulda had the plug that i used for the track...quick fix and I was back on the track
:D

Ehh I own both a Raptor 350 and a 400ex...the 350 has nothing on the 400ex. The Raptor 350 really doesnt even wheelie all that great (mine is completely stock remember).

the raptor is more of a trail riding fire road machine.the blaster is fast past and a hand full of good power.if your not used to riding a 2 stroke it is hard to use that power.it is the kind of bike that is fun to ride and i think you will be happy with it.

by the what what do you plan on using for.trail riding,sandpit/hill climb riding?
