go the 350.. i borrowed a grizz 700 for a weekend from work (yamaha shop just over a year ago when i worked there) and i had the grizz doing 80km/hr down the paved road. i got one speed when it comes to trails and thats fast i usually ride around the 50-60km/hr range..
im 5'6" and was about 160lbs when i was riding my 250 and it was underpowered and i started doing stupid stuff on it because i knew what it can and cannot do. im wanting to get a grizzly one of these days.
are you going new or used?? what about a kodiak 450?

2 or 4 stroke? Top speed has little to do with displacement and more to do with gearing. Plus who cares about top speed on atvs, you should be more worried about acceleration and handling.
Ps. You should get a bike instead. Much quicker, better handling, can go more places and cheaper. Sorry, had to throw that in there.

These are the two I'm looking at
250 - Yamaha 2008 Raptor 250
350 - Yamaha 2008 Raptor 350
I realllly don't want a bike, the guy I'm going to ride with has one and it sounds logical that we would get the same thing so we can go the same places, but bikes really aren't my kind of thing, plus I can drift easier with a four wheeler =]

Do you only plan on riding the dunes? If so then a quad is fine, otherwise, for your buddies sake, consider a bike. But to each his own, jus gotta preach my beliefs lol. But go with the 350. IMO don't get anything smaller than a 450 unless you are just learning because eventually you will want one.

I would defiantly get the Raptor 350.
Have you rode quads before or are you learning?

The raptor 350 is basically a rebadged warrior, it is super reliable. I have a warrior from 1997 on the original piston and the valves are still in spec. the raptor has reverse as well, which may not seem like a big deal but it is so nice especially in tight woods.
The reason why the 400ex would be ideal is cause of its reasonable price new as well as used, 05 and up have reverse, it makes a decent amount more power than the raptor 350, is lighter, and has the best chassis ever on a sport quad, derived from the 250r.

the blaster is a 200 two stroke and can make a consiederable amount of power, it is just small. a blaster has similar hp to the raptor 350, but the raptor has the torque.
