I had a 71 Kawi 500 3 cylinder 2 stroke, it outran the 500 honda 4 stroke in 3rd at top end and every other gear the honda was not in sight. Looked like this:
My brother drove 650 Yamahas several times from PEI to Alberta and back. One trip he went down into the Carolinas and stayed the winter. He also has 4 cyliner Kawis, 1000,1200 4 strokes, but I don't recall anything being faster off the line than the 500 2 stroke.
