I just stopped at our local Kawi dealer, and he said that the big 650 is suppose to be around 45hp. All I can say is wow! Imagen the size of mudders you could put on this machine. But I have one ? why no independent rear or semi independent rear on it. Other then that, it should be the baddest beats around.
