It seems to me that the 700 is just a little bit better than the 660 because it is infact fuel injected instead of carberated. I live in Denver so that was a big pluss for me. I havnt been able to ride it a lot yet because i just bought it, but what i have noticed is that it has a little more pickup in the bottom end. I also noticed that it didnt feel as sturdy at top speeds as the 660, probably because of the power increase. As far as the fuel system goes I havnt had any problems with it.
HUH. First of all IT IS WAYY strudier at top speeds. (due to yfz a-arms). N the rappy 660 actally deos have a little better low. BUT COME ON DUDE YOU MUST have not ridden it that much or (one of those annoying kids) CAUSE NOT AS STURDY AS A 660 WHEN you RIDE one thats the first thing you notice is that it IS WAY BETTER HANDLING.

Be careful there bassetboy, I did the same thing, just dropped in the dealer to show my wife the 700R and ended up taking one home, I have no complaints what so ever.

Congratulations on your purchase, I think it's gonna be a good runner, I can already feel the stability on the street, going to the dunes this weekend. My 02 is the trail quad, this one will strictly be for sand and believe me, it's torture not taking it an hour aways and riding it on logging roads, but I'll wait.

First of all you can suck on my fat *****. I had both the 660r and now the 700 and in my oppinion on dirt it dosnt handle near as well as the 660. I felt all over the place when at top speeds. Yes you are right about the YFZ A arms they do help in the front. The back is what feels wobbly. And you are wrong about the 660 having more bottom end. How can that be True when the 660 is carberated and the 700 is fuel injected. Answer me that ******. Also Dont get me wrong I love my new 700. It seems to me that it is way better built than past Raptors. Another great feature is that there is no reserve, instead there is a fuel light.
P.S. I think it is funny that you even question me because you probably dont even have one yet. HA HA

Everything ive heard about the 700R says it lacks bottom end, but makes up for it in the mid-range. It is also not tall and tippy like the old 660 it has more of a yfz stance so it IS going to handle better. Fuel Injection means cleaner burning fuel, and more efficient gas milage. Some people do not seem to realize that properly tuned carbs are capeable of puting out more horsepower than fuel injection. Stock vs Stock fuel injection is not going to make any power increases. Ive had carbed sports cars with the same motor and mods put out more power than the same motor with a fuel injection setup.

The sad thing is happarap is that the dealer is pretty much walking distance from my house, so i pass this quad every day. Im in the market for a used quad to pay cash for since i have it and i dont have to mess with financing. But financing the new rappy is looking better and better, because i can take the extra cash i didnt spend and mod that bad boy up when they gain some aftermarket support.
Right now im looking at a 03 preddy with some mods(pipe, carb, intake) and he has a piston and set of cams hell throw in too hes asking 4k, but now the rappy comes into play.....decisions decisoins

You know what man quit talking and give me your email so I can show you my new quad. You know whats rediculas is that you have probably worked all your life and only 19 and I can afford just as nice maybe even nicer things than you. By the way fuel injection increases throttle response and power, therefore it would kill the 660 in bottom end. End of Story
