I already have some great advice from the klutchbuster400 about the sport but i was wandering how far u think a yamaha raptor 350 with a snorkel or any sport can go in the mud without fludding  and do u think i should get the raptor 350 or a honda rancher 350 4wd

it depends where your riding. What spots are you close too? How old are you? Weight and height and riding experience. We need more information. Personally I'd go utility because its a nicer ride and you can mud.

Raptor has like 4 inches of ground clearance so, maybe 4 inches of mud. Snorkel will only really help in water.

I have a 660 raptor and it sucks in the mud.  It also sucks ripping the rearend apart and replacing rusted thrown bearings because water got in there.  Try the 400 wolverine.  2 or 4 wheel drive.  Good all around bike.
