When the Yamaha 660r Raptor was released its 660cc five valve, four stroke liquid cooled motor had the most displacement available in any quad. It also featured a 3 intake / 2 exhaust valve setup, over 10 inches of ground clearance and was quite simply the fastest sport ATV available on the market.
