O man only 75mph and it only stays right next to yfz's all the way up to 70 and then passes it, plus it can outclimb anything. Ds650 dont have as much accel and torque as rappys... 500 pounds 4 valve 650 rotax vs. 398 pounds 5 valve 660cc sohc. You do the math. I mean hey the ds is great for ... trail riding and duning i guess if you weigh over like 240 pounds and are at least 6 feet tall. But im partial the the rappy.. i bought it for that adrenaline rush off when you rip apart the woods in a wheelie, plus imo it handles great through trails at high speeds. Ds you can barely turn

hey.. sorry doyle. I think part of the reason i feel that the rappy is the fastest quad is because im so lightweight. My 140 pounds beats ds650's that has guys that are 250-70 on them, same with shees. But with my weight I DO beat them, So your right maybe the rappy will lose to the ds dollar for dollar but not for me. I also noticed that it seems that the banshee rapidly looses performance when someone heavy gets on it, way more than the ds looses. Maybe im just bs'ing

MY Raptor 660R dislikes;
1. The handling is tippy. You kinda got to watch your a$$ on one cause it will hurt you quick if you have a stupid attack. I've seen it on three different occaisions........No, it wasn't me!
2. Stock, the power is kinda embarrassing. You can get teased by even a piped/well tuned Z400 in 300ft.
3. The suspension is soft. Not the best for high speed trail ridding.

MY Raptor 660R praises;
1. I still say after the usual mods (pipe/intake), its still one of if not the fastest quad "IF" you know what your doing with the carbs. Most people don't and thats why people say they're slow........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Mine was fricken fast!!!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
2. The 660 is still one of the sweetest looking quads ever made.
3. The suspension is soft. Rides like a cadillac.
4. The usual stuff; electric start and reverse.

Its been my experience that the Predator has a slightly higher top speed......even modded.
Also, the 700R has MORE torque than the 660 (I know cause I've had both with exactly almost the same mods) but the 660 revs more...........way more!

Oh, I rate the 660 an 8 but only because the handling and suspension is its downfall.

ok ummm my raptor BLOWS THE DOORS off of a piped and jetted 400.. Maybe ur carbs were not jetted right dude. and also i will argue all day the 660 has more torque, if you do not beleive me i recall also reading that in dirtwheels or something like that.. I think at least. I know for sure though the 660 has more torque though.
