Default First Time Buyer ATV

What can you tell me about a Raptor 660? Is it a good ATV?

I'm no expert but Everyone I talk and everything I have read says the raptor 700 is better then the 660. Balance of bike is better along with the gears. I'm currently deciding between whether to get a raptor 700 or an Ltz 400. I have come a long way in a month that I have been looking and researching. As soon as I close on my house Oct 23 I will be going right to the dealer to make my final decision haha. But if you want the best info go Google raptor forum and head there the whole thing is dedicated to then and they can be best help.

Even the first year models are probably fine now. That was so long ago that if it had a problem, it would have been fixed years ago. The Raptor 660 is probably the best value in a high performance sport quad. More power than a 400ex or Z400 and roughly about the same price. A Raptor 700 is an improvement over the 660 with more power and efi but it will cost a lot more. A Polaris Predator might be another one to look at. Power close to what the Raptor 660 has and many of them out there available for a good price.

Wouldn't recommend the 660, I remember hearing something about I think it was the oil change. It was so badly put together you practically had to remove the whole front end to change the oil, my dad has a 700, I ride it from time to time and it's really good! I ride a yfz450r that's more or less stock and the 700 is a great match up in speed with it. 700 is the same concept as the 660 as you might have guessed just that they worked out the kinks with it.
