I bought an 04 660 yesterday. Just too good a deal to pass. I had never paid them much attention, since they are generally behind my r, but, let me just say, this thing is fun to ride. It will not replace the r, but there is something to be said for all that torque.

That or just spray paint honda on the side, the sticker may be easier... plus an extra 6hp best mod in my book :devil:
how much did you pay for it, it must have been a pretty good deal for you buy that thing.

honestly im getting them at a very good price and i have specific things for each bike, my R is gonna be the bike that I race, the banshee will be for the dunes, and the warrior is for trails and riding around my parents house. The R still has some work left to go before its up and running, actually its a good bit, its not quite a rolling chassis yet

you will be wrenching on all but the R.

well the banshee i know will be getting a lot of wrenching on it, the warrior is more or less just a play bike, something with a clutch to ride. Its more than likely gonna stay stock besides an exhaust and tires when it needs

2 fast for you

Say what you will, this thing is fun and a completely different kind of ride than the 250r. I bought it just to sell later, but after riding it, it's staying. If I just want to have fun, Raptor. If I want to go fast and be different, 250r. If I want to tear my R down for the heck of it, I have a quick backup to ride.

get a blaster instead of the warrior, there faster, lighter, and there a 2 stroke

man i couldnt pass the price up for the bike, plus i like warriors and its nice to have a 4 stroke around. A blaster would be fun but too small for me

I trail ride with a couple guys who have raptors, one is now a 686, the other is a 700R. These things seem to move at a pretty good clip for being the slow POS turds I always hear about.:rolleyes: I don't know how they do anywhere else but they seem to be quite the trail machine.

His post is no worse than the half dozen threads you started asking every possible question about ESR 350's. So don't be such a smart@ss, last I checked you didn't moderate this forum.
