ok, i know i have asked this b4, but i wanted to know some actual facts here. why does the v-force with its 697cc engine yet fat 324kg body match the slimmer 660cc 172kg raptor? well it think they are the right weights, tell me if im worng. anyway in a race or drag one of them will win if the riders are the same weight and skill, but i bet that the otha quad is not far behind. so why does an automatic keep up? i asked a dealer who i know well, and they say that in a race a v-force doesnt have to let off the power while chaging gear............why does the heavy, long, tall quad keep up with the rappy? sorry if i seem bias lol, its just i like raptors alot, but i still do like the v-force................thanks
is the key to the kawis speed down to something in the engine?

 

Your weight # is a bit high, the V is 516 lbs which is about 234 kg.

Basically it's the transmission. The power is always ON. See this link for an explanation:

It also helps that the V twin engine is a torque monster. Tons of power down low.
