I have been riding 3-wheelers for more then almost 25 years and I have rode lots and lots of bikes. And I can tell you that these 2 bikes are very close in a race but a good pair of riders on both machines will prove that the 350x is just a little faster until it tops out.

I did not see that it said a 660 I was still Assuming (yes I know and I am sorry) That we were talking about a 350 raptor and a 350x. Against the 660cc raptor I do not think that the 350x would win. My apologies. And my age is 28 But I was raised in a honda dealership Have probably more experience then MOST (not all) of the people on this board. Started riding in 81 and on a 79 110 since then I have not stopped riding 3 wheelers. I absolutely hate 4 wheels with a passion. Frickin 3 point turn pieces of ****. Next time I will read more carefully. All I can say is that I looked over it being a 660 .
So you think a 350 Raptor has more power than a 350X and will catch a 350X on top end? Isn't the 350 Raptor basically a Warrior motor? I don't think a Warrior is a match for a 350X at any speed.
