Default KFX700 performance observed?

Ok all you KFX700 owners,
They've been out for a couple weeks now, had time to break them in, lets hear the truth, how fast are they.
We've been predicting everything from Space Shuttle speeds down to "a little faster then the 650".
Whats the real deal?
Pleanty of threads full of nothing more then dueling egos and "I think", lets keep this one full of facts.
Thanks ahead of time for shareing your experiances with us.

Well, I spent last week end with a new 700, my 650, and a piped & jetted Raptor. The Raptor was faster than the 700 but the 700 was new and not broken in. My 650 was not in the running with either of them. I think that when the 700 is broken in, jetted, & piped that it will be as fast if not faster than the Raptor. As a side note the 700 was endoed and is now in the shop for all new plastic, frame, & bars. Hope the rest of the 700 owners have better luck with theirs!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like they are right up there with the rest of the big bore Sport croud.
Are they duel over head cam motors?
Crashing sucks, especially with a new quad. Insurance taking care of it Ross650?

Actually, it's my quad. I will find out within the next week if it is totaled or not. It is pretty damn close. I am trying for a new one.

I had a Scrambler 400 2X4 that was modded to 60HP and crashed twice, before I ever made the first payment. Kind of leaves a lump in your throat every time you look at it after that. Hope they treat you right and replace it.
