Well, I'm not sure if my new 330pv will be done in time for my trip to the cinders here in AZ next weekend, so I'm looking at renting one of these two bikes. Ive ridden the 660 raptors and yami/honda 450's so those are out..
Any opinions which will be more fun?? Thanks!

Raptor. Good useable power if you don't ride often = more fun for a rental unit.

I think im going to try the LTR.. rappy's always felt too top heavy for me (660's). plus, Since im the only non yami rider in my group, I have to save face lol!

well with that said i now say u need to try the RAPTOR 700R to show u how much better in every way it is over the 660r! the handling is like going from a ltz400 to a ltr450!

The raptor 700 is a great bike for cruising.. If you want to go fast take a cherry bomb and rent the ltr

Get the LTR and spend $15 for a cherry bomb, take the airbox lid off and take the spark arrestor out, and you'll have a fun machine.

This whole rental deal is kind of appealing. Sounds like the only way to lose you deposit is to seriously wreck the bike, "minor things are normal." Plus never having to do maintenance, always getting to use a freshly cleaned and up kept bike, you pick it up ready to roll, drop it off on empty and dirty.. Plus they give discounts to frequent users. All the bike needs is some bolt on goodies. hmm, maybe i could buy the exhaust for the bike instead of paying to rent it? lol. Seriously tho, I am never taking my 250R up to the cinders again!
