I didnt realize you had already wrote this, I agree with you. I dont think your putting your quad "down" though. IF thats the case, I kinda am too, as I own a 700, and I believe exactly what you wrote for straight line stuff. Handling hands down goes to the 700, but equal cc's mod to mod, I am betting on your older raptor. I DONT KNOW WHY THEY WENT AWAY FROM THE 5 VALVE HEAD??
I just thought of something else, that isnt really fair to the 700. When you do a 686 kit on the 'ol 660, your usually bumping compression, which is going to be higher than the 700's stock compression, giving the kitted motor an advantage. Also, if the guy on the 686 doesnt have his quad jetted perfect, like the 700 is always going to be, that will give the 700 an advantage. Just thought I would throw those things out there too! Maybe it would be closer than we think, who knows? I havnt raced a 686 on my 700 yet? But my first thought would be that the 686 kit would win.

Mod for mod my 660 was faster than my 700. I can tell by riding with the same guys with both bikes and they can too. Once I got the jetting right on my 660, it never been beat by anything with the same mods (pipe and intake). Thats just my experience. Even though my 700 revs better now with pipe and intake it STILL has to be short shifted to get the best time in a drag race. Hopefully I can get more out of it by tickering some more with the TFI.

All hi perf motors have bigger intake valves than ex valves.......in fact I think most all 4 strokes have bigger intake than ex valves.
So by having 3 intakes (smaller in size by a little bit) and 2 ex valves you still maintain that larger intake area and smaller ex area.
