Well, I my wife vetoed the potential Track Bike from Dapitbull but allowed me to add another twin to the fold

Kawi KFX 700 V-Twin

Took it out this morning, It pulls like a Top Fuel Dragster and can wheelie at speed even though its an automatic:eek:

This motor isnt the same thats in the new Kawi 650 as a matter of fact the 700 in my quad looks much smaller.:confused:

The Jawbone people took down that disgusting billboard... I'm kind of disappointed in them for it.

Yeah..the 650 is an I2.

Looks like the motor in your quad has a really short stroke. Do the heads look wider than those on the SV?

I also had time to check out the new Kawi 650 twin in action at Wera West at Fontana today, Its slow.......Im not just saying that either, The 2 that were riding them against the Sv's stated they couldnt hang with them anywhere, It could be a bold effort by Kawi we'll see when the aftermarket crap starts rolling in.
