The 660's are known for being a little top heavy but not too bad. The 700 is essentialy the same as a Yfz 450. With the proper aftermarket suspension the 660 can be turned into a pretty descent bike IMO, but the 700 has a great setup right outa the box. In my opinion the 700R the best turn key bike made today, from the EFI, comfort of the bike itself to the suspension there just is nothing that compares on all leavels!

+1 on that....i got the 700. the only thing i whould have like a little better with the 700 is if they put the radator lower in the frame. but all around it is the best bike i have ever owned.

 

If you have the cash, the 700 is a better starting point. Stock vs stock any 450 or Raptor will take a Banshee. The problem is, you rarely see stock Banshees, and the sky is the limit when it comes to drag potential on these. When it is all said and done, I personally don't care who is fastest, I am just out to have fun and win the occasional race.

 

hey scoot,

i hear you on the just riding to have fun, it's the occasional race and not winning iam worried about [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

If you have a Banshee that is piped/filter/jetted properly there will always be someone slower than you around.

 

lt500

lt500</end quote></div>

why would he do that when he already has the best 2-stroke to drag out. no he needs the best 4 stroke.

 

He said stock and the lt500 would be the fastest stock atv.Did I miss that he said he wanted a 4-stroke?

 

thanks to all for the reply, i ended up getting an 04 660 raptor for $3,000

 

hey scoot, actually i was forced to pipe, filter, and jett it do to the f***** who attempted to do a top end job and messed up bad. once i was forced to bore the cylinders and put bigger piston along with the t6's the banshee wont stay on without full throttle so i was forced to jett it.
