Thats one fast warrior .. I wonder what the top speed is ?

 

[meangene34]

top speed is prolly some where between................holy **** and hold the f@#k on!

^ I agree... Well... the R1 goes 175mph (If I remember right) and the Warrior chassis is lighter... so it should be way more than that with the right tires and gearing...

Old video but still really nice build.

the warrior chassis is actually heavier

 

[rappy'97]

Wow, a complete R1 is only 450!?!?! Wow...

 

[beastlywarrior228]

my uncles cbr600 is between a quad and a dirtbike in weight

according to this they weight about 414lbs, so that's pretty similar to the weight of the Warrior.

 

[rappy'97]

That might be dry weight... the top 2 links I saw said wet weight of 454...

 

[Hdale85]

Yeah wet weight is a bit more. Looks like the lightest was the 04-05 at 379lbs dry weight. Wet weight seems to add about 18lbs. So that would be 397lbs wet.

 

[rappy'97]

^ So that is almost exactly what the Raptor 350 weighs. Not sure on the Warrior... but seems like it would be more...

 

[duneracerweston]

but still who wold ride it when its moving that fast????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? not me that boy is crazzy

 

[Hdale85]

Why would the raptor be lighter then the warrior? Pretty sure they are pretty much the same weight.

I would!!! that would be a blast to ride.

 

[Hdale85]

I'd ride it, I don't know that I'd ride it at top speed lol.

You also got to remember a warrior with a r1 engine will weigh alot more than a stock warrior. As well the warrior is not quite as aerodynamic as a R1 therefore I would beleive it to be significantly slower.

 

[Hdale85]

I bet it'd still hit 125-150mph though.

 

[duneracerweston]

I'm not afraid to ride it just nmot at 150+ mph
