HI GUY'S:
Another point to consider...there countless reports out there of stock Kawi P650's beating stock Hon 400ex's in drags. The P650 puts out 31.8HP to the rear wheels and weighs in at 604lbs dry AND IS AUTO!!! The 400 Ex puts out about 25hp to the rear wheels and weighs in at approx 375lbs. The P650 is approx 230lbs heavier than the 400ex and has about 6-7 hp more. This 6-7 hp more than makes up the weight advantage the 400ex has. Case in point...the 700 V- force weighs in at 516lbs dry and puts out (what?...40 hp or 48 hp not sure yet ) to the rear wheels. The Raptor for example weighs in at approx 400lbs and has 34hp to the rear wheels. So the Kawi is approx 116 lbs heavier than the Raptor (which is half the difference the P650 and 400ex has). If the 700 V-force has 40hp to the rear wheels, there is at least a 6hp difference between the 700 and 660 and ONLY 116lbs (NOT 230 lbs) weight advantage to the Raptor. The power should make up the difference and then some...if the monster 700 has 48hp... look out!!! If any of you still think the 700 V-Twin is too slow...YOU ARE WADING IN AN EMBARASSING PIT OF DENIAL!!! WAKE -UP!!!


PS: According to dirt wheels the P650 gains 5 hp with a bigger air snorkle and jet kit ( without exhaust work) Add a bigger air snorkle to the 700 and see what happens...add dual exhaust...OHHHHHHH I AM IN LOVE!!!
