the honda is way faster than the kawi, i had a pipe and the agressive map in the kawi for most of the summer, i ended up ridding it with the black, soft coupler, and the stock pipe, its smooth and old guy friendly, the honda on the soft map will smoke it, and i cant handle it if thee was a japanese 350 id buy it
i alo have a FC spring kit in the kawi and the forks are really good maybe not as good as the honda, but the honda is much more firm feeling in the fork, could be cuz its not completely broken in

If you guys are looking into shipping, I've shipped numerous bikes through uship.com and have never had a problem. Typically runs me $2-400 depending on distance and no crating involved. Just my 2 cents, it's more feasable than people realize.

I understand going out of state to buy a bike for cheap but what about when time comes to sell? Do you end up registering the bike where you live or do you just sell as is? I bought a bike from OR but I still ended up registering it here.

Damn, I just got a quote from a dealer in Iowa on a leftover '17 that was advertised at $7200 but then they added in fees and ended up at $8049. For $200 more the '18 is definitely a bargain.
