Hmm the Raptor feels biger and is slightly top heavy but has a little more torq hense the 660.On the other hand the Z/KFX suspension is ausome and is not top heavy and with a pipe and filter mod you will have the same or more power.I went to the dealer to buy a Raptor and ended up buying the KFX after test riding them both.

I used to ride my buddies raptor and I didn't like the lack of balance. The thing felt like it was going to tip all of the time. This can be mended with longer a-arms and a wider axle though. The power is great, but I didn't like the tippy feeling it gave me.

Since then, I've gotten a z which I love riding. It just feels good. Sure, I'll probably not beat very many people in races, but I'm not big on racing anyways. I like to ride in the desert and in the hills and the way the z is set up makes me feel comfortable when I am riding, and that's what matters to me.

Also, neither of these quads are made for "two up riding"
