[Quadguy80]

I have a Suzuki LT80 and i have out grown it. I am 14 and about 180 pounds. I am looking into a 2001 Yamaha Warrior. Is this quad big enough for me or to small? Is there anything about these quads that im gona have problems with? All replys would be great.

Thank you,

they are great trail bikes,and fun to play around on.i had a 98 with a 408 big bore,a 38mm carb,dg exhaust,and a +2 swinger.it would climb anything i wanted it too,and was very fun to play around on.they are not a race bike though.if you jump it very high,you WILL bottom out the stock suspension.they are good bikes man.mine ran for ever!!

go witha 400ex, theres tons of them out there and parts to buy cheap. the motors are tried and true-bulletproof motors.

you are 14 why are you riding a 80 what is wrong with you! lol :D hey CBR how do you know that the 400EX is bulletproof. i know that honda is great but not that good.

Stay away from the warrior,they are good to putt around on but thats it. We had one and I called it sherman because it was a tank! I agree go with the 400ex there a blast stock and bullet proof, modify them fairly cheep with all parts on here for sale.

heavy heavy heavy to play around the 250 ex is cool but ur 180 pounds get an trx,yfx,kfx,or ltr 450 and ull never need another one if keep up with it

The warrior is a fine quad. It has been around forever and many performance parts and used parts (ebay) are out there. Stepping up from a 80 the warrior will meet all your needs. But depending on what kind of rider you are and you may feel held back by the warrior shortly down the road. The warrior lacks the performance of many new and old 400 plus cc's class. I would take a look at the 400ex. Its priced about the same new and used. And it out performs the warrior in almost everyway. Another great choice is the Z400/kfx400. and any of the 450s. Trust me you will grow use to the warrior and will be wanting more. Sure you can sink money into the motor and suspension and see some big gains. But save yourself money now and think ahead.
