I bought my gf a new raptor 350 for a steal while the economys in the crapper ha and i see so much about the raptor 250 and she loves her 350 and i was wondering i mean would i of been better off getting a 250? she didnt want i cause she wanted a faster one something that she could ride with me with i ride a ltr 450 and she liked what i had just thought it was to big and to fast for her which i figured it was to big of a fourwheeler for her and didnt need anything like that she dont race just trail ride and will ride around the track slow haha its hilarious

if she handles the 350 fine, then let her stay with that. She seems comfortable with it and likes it, and in the end that's all that really matters.


the raptor 350 is the exact same thing as the warrior as far as frame and geometry goes i believe. Just the plastics are different but im not 100 percent sure.

yeah i was basically wondering if the 250 would of been better for her trying to learn to jump and stuff but i figured it would of been slower thats kinda why we strayed away from it

i don't think that there are many sport quads out there slower than the 350 raptor

My 6yr old Kawi Mojave 250 is faster than the 3 Raptor 350's my neighbors have.
If she is fine with the 35 , keep her on it. Its for her to be having fun on. Thats what matters.

Raptor 350's feel much more nimble and light-weight then the warriors were.

The raptor 250 is just as fast as the 350, but really small.

the raptor 350 is pretty much a warrior with different plastic, few diff mounts on the frame to accustom the new body work but nothing too different otherwise

My buddy has one so I got to know them pretty well.

It's the same frame, and motor. Motor has a slightly more aggressive cam. Frame obviously same except for plastic mounts. They narrowed it up some, put better suspension on it(rides much nicer then the warriors did) and cut weight in a few places. The raptor's noticeably lighter then the warrior which felt like a tank.

hmm....i just sold a kid some warrior arms and spindles for his raptor 350....he said they were the same.. 99% sure the shock is too...frame didnt seem any more narrow but the body work did

The stock raptor 350's are a lot tippier then the warriors. The one thing I didn't like about the rappy.

The shock is the same size and everything, but softer. Warriors road like rocks up front.

raptor 250 is a much better quad than the 350.

It's almost like comparing a 450 yfz to a 660 raptor.
