So, I own both.................
09 Connie with K/N and slip on 2 Brothers pipe.
03 Rex in pretty blue, Had it Dyno'd at 167 hp, K/N, fully muzzy pipe, block of plates, rear sprocket down one from stock.
Head to head, Rex stays with the connie (rex hard to keep front wheel down) 1-2-3 gears both neck and neck then the connie
begins to pull away strong.
At 110 the Connie showed its strength and pulled away......
Not bad though, an 03 Kawasaki staying quite well with the 09....
I prefer to ride the 09 more, but get more looks on the 03 and get asked a lot "what year is that, 80 something???" he he
