Is the Warrior on the way out?

[2fun]

With all of these new quads lately, do you think the Warrior is on its way out?

I'm not sure, there are a lot of people out there who still want a mountain goat, "sporty" quad. We sold more Warriors at my shop last year than we did Banshee's.

I think they are still considered great wife bikes too.

I'm always surprised by how many quad that are of lesser cc that still sell like mad. there are plenty of people out there that want the smaller bore since the big ones are just too much (they don't know any better obviously)

Honda still sells quite a few 300EX's too.

More Warriors than Banshees in Utah???

I'd think with all of that sand, there'd be no comparison!:

I don't know that I would go as far as to say more warriors. I am just saying that they are still selling. I had more Banshee's for sale than warriors, just happened to sale the Warriors when they would come in. There are just tons of Banshee's for sale here, which makes it a tough market to sell them.

In 2002, Warriors were the number one selling ATV...75% sure...:

Just curious where you found that info??:

You are soooo right Woody_CRF!

After all, just look in the bench racing forum!

[Woody_YZF]

Good point about everything on the internet being true. I'll have to remember that.

All I know is that you can go to any Yamaha dealer and they always have a warrior available for sale, but the Raptor is not so readily available, though not usually a long wait, so I highly doubt the Warrior is out selling the Raptor.

[Woody_393]

I second that.

From me, when I went to the dealership to look at some Raptors, my dad was asking about why they had so many warriors, they said it was the top selling ATV in the country.

Sorry I didnt get back sooner to your question 2fun, but Rockey pretty much answered it.

No prob!
Very interesting though!:

[Woody_YZF]

That is very interesting. I also thought it interesting when I asked Honda why they haven't changed the 400EX yet and they said that it is still the top selling sport quad. Who would've guessed.

[quadrider32]

i think the warrior is still being sold often from all the reasons other people have left and plus i too have seen alot of them in dealerships

Hmm, Dealerships, some of the best B.S.ers around I guess :

I admit that it was probably about a year ago when I talked to Honda, so the new Z400/KFX400 wasn't out yet. I'd have a real hard time believing that the 400EX is the top selling sport quad now.
