Brand new here so go easy at first...
I've been a Warrior admirer from afar ever since my buddy rode up on an '05 last year. However, I had sportbike fever and bought an '04 R1. First let me say, I LOVE the R1. It's power is intoxicating. But I've found myself north of 12k RPM's and 150mph before I knew it a couple of times and am afraid that if I don't get rid of it I'll be widowing my wife and kids. Now I know that Warriors are beasts as well, but they are my kind of beast. I come from a musclecar background, specifically Big Block Chevy's, so I understand the value of Torque. Plus, every time I sit on my buddies Warrior it just fits me, I don't know how to explain it.
So I've found a local 2002 Warrior that has a Stage IV upgrade (as well as many others) and although I've done some searching here I can't really tell what that is except an engine upgrade. Can someone explain?
So do you guys think I'll be disappointed powerwise (seat-of-the-pants) if I make the switch?
Thanks for the input.
