Horsepower and top speed are totally overrated for a utility quad IMO. Much more important factor in this comparison is belt drive tranny reliability and the Yammy system is head and shoulders ahead of Kawi. Ground clearance, suspension, low center of gravity, and brakes all favor Yamaha IMO. If you ever need to run in full lock front end mode you will appreciate the Yamaha power steering. And the Yamaha 700 is not exactly a slug.
