I have been wanting a warrior for a little while now. In San Antonio they are letting the blacked out version go for $9,999. Is this a good deal? I suppose so cause a lot of dealerships are asking $12,500. I guess my question is...what are the pros and cons of the warrior. I want to go for 150 mile rides on the weekends and have fun doing it. I currently have a 04' ZZR600. It's very nice, but I'm tired of sleepy arems and shoulders, but like the perfomance.

Will the Warrior treat me better for what I want? the bike looks bad a$$. I love the looks. Will the TPS be a problem?

Thanks,
JP

Make sure if there are any recalls to get them done before you take the bike. 150 miles is no problem. You will want to get a different seat or you can mod the stock seat and you can ride further.

welcome to the forum, i agree that the stock seat could use some improvements, depending on how tall you are you might want to consider some foward controls but basically this bike is bad a$$ and a lot of fun to ride. i think you would love. i sure do. good luck on your purchase

I'm 5'8. I take the forward controls would bring me more upright? I'm kinda new to the biker world. I'll be usinig the search a lot.

You will not be making a mistake by getting it

This bike is so much fun to ride it really can take years to decide what you might want to change so just buy your Beast and go for a long ride then you'll know!

Great bike, buy one and you will Love it. 150 mile rides are a walk in the park and alot of fun.

Better to have noobed than to never have noobed at all! Get that Warrior. Welcome to the Forum.

It's a great bike. I typically do 100 to 200 miles in a days ride and I am never dissapointed with my Warrior or its handling. I would change out the seat though it can be a pain in the ass (pun intended). Get the Warrior and you won't be dissapointed. Welcome to the forum.

at 5'8" the forward controls might be a bit of a reach but no matter how tall you are a new seat will definitely be an improvement[/emoticons/emotion-5.gif]

Get the bike! That's pretty cheap. If your 5'8" the stock seat may be a little wide for you. I'm 6'3"-260 so mines about right for me on long rides. Little like riding a fat horse.

 

[jboss10]

Thanks for all the replies. I'm headed out in about an hour to pick her up. Yeah the seat is a little wide for my taste, but I can change that. What are the best seats that still keep a passenger option? I'll do a search too.

Thanks,
JP

+1
jboss10, I assume your talking about Legends forward controls. If you're 5'8", then they will definitely be too much of a reach for you. Carlini Super Sweep or CP 1120 bars will allow you to sit in a more upright position.

Just do it boss. The Warrior's torque brings a smile to my face every time I ride it. 5'8" here also. I change the bars to get the hand controls a bit closer, changed the seat to drop me down a bit and lower the rear of the bike cause it just looks better imho. Did I mention the torque [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif][/emoticons/emotion-2.gif][/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

welcome to the 4m! you are looking at a good deal if you can get the midnight for under 10k. The seat you might mod, the pegs might be a stretch if you move them forward but other than that... it will not disappoint you! Keep in mind it is not a track bike, but it is the best blend of two worlds that i have been able to find!

We expect to hear good news on friday....don't disappoint us. [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif][/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]
