I actually just bought a 2003 Raptor 660r and let me tell you, more stock torque than you'll ever need ! I'm a big guy and this thing lifts me straight up !! Pretty quick too ! but I agree they are relatively top heavy, but i love mine, would never sell it ! A few intake and exhaust mods and this beast will awaken ! If you have somewhat good atv skills i would say go with the 660 because after a while you'll master the raptor 350 and want more power. You can easily pick a 2003-2005 raptor 660 for $2,200-$2,800. Good luck man !

 

I personally would go for the blaster because 2 strokes are easier and a lot of mods are available for the Blaster. If $2000 is in your budget then find a decent blaster for $1000-$1200 and you have a lot of cash to make that quad a one-of-a-kind and blasters are very reliable as well as the other two. All three are good choices(I say this even though I don't like raptors, good quads just don't like 'em). Go for the Honda if you want reliability(Hondas are BULLETPROOF). I crashed a 300ex into a tree going around thirty and I dented the bumper and broke my headlight. That's it. Besides, ive always been a Yamaha guy, just my personal preference.
