I think my 660 Rhino might beat a 250 Raptor. I dont know what you are going to spend on this thing, but you should come look at my 2005 Limited Edition YFZ-450 with an FMF Factory 4 exhaust and a set of hot cams. That thing will be extremely fast compared to a Raptor 250. I wouldnt even consider a raptor 250, I would buy a used raptor 660 any day before a new 250, even if the price was cheaper on the 250. Like I said… I am going to sell my YFZ-450 because I just bought a new Rhino. If your interested, PM me. At least invest in something thats going to have way more than enough power to keep you happy for years.
