i've rode both on trails, in the dunes, and on the track, and i would personally go with the yfz b/c the 660 shakes the hell out of you and it feels tippy to me. they're about the same in power/acceleration as far as i can tell, and they're both yamaha so they're quality bikes.

how tall are you by the way?

it depends on how you ride if you go like theres no tomorow ull love the yfz the i used to have an 02 raptor my dad loved it cuz the shocks and seat are nice and soft for long trailrides but it is a little narrow and tippy im more aggresive so the yfz suits me better its more revvy where the raptor is a torque monster. the ergos are a bit cramped on the yfz i had to lower the pegs put a plus 1 steering stem and cut the fenders to feel comfortable overall there both great machines! o and if the 04 doesnt have the oil mod ull want to have that done
