i was thinking about a used 04 660 . i bought a 04 400ex last sept. after 15 years of not riding . i didnt know what to buy. it is nice but a little under powered for me i think. im kinda maxed on money right now... after looking at the blue book values, it looks like i could invest 500-800 more after i sell mine and get a 04 yfz 450 / 04 660 or a trx 450r .
i only trail ride in wi, and mn . 10ft wide sanding trails thru the woods w lots of times to open it up all the way. but some softer dirt terrain and tighter trails. to lugg quad along in first gear as well.
i heard the raptor had air filter sealing problems where there could have been a potential for dirt entering engine without owner knowing? :confused: :
i'm 6' 4" 260 lbs but will be hopefully going down to 225:blah: so i was thinking of 660 because of the extra couple of inches taller. my legs are alittle cramped on the 400ex. but i could mabey lower the pegs on the 450's. the yfz in 04 was faster than the honda:confused: but the honda is more reliable ??:ermm: i know about the tippy problems w/ the raptor . i'd put some 1" spacers on the back. i know the handling would be better on the 450's.. after raptor spacers ?:confused:
