hows it run compared to the BF? It seemed the BF would run circles around your yellow KQ.
It doesn't have the off the line punch you get with the torque of the Kawi v-twin, but I think it could run the brute force down in a race no problem. Even the 700 only lost by about a bikes length racing them at SL. The real difference is just how much nicer the KQ feels to ride. Not cushy stuff, but how it handles and feels. Josh was pulling wheelies on the new one bone stock. The old 700 could barely lift the front end without a ton of body put into it.
