Bob,
Hate to differ, 75% of the rides offered in a COBRA to a passenger, and asked of their opinion, will result in the COBRA with the most torque will always win hands down.
Tire shredding torque, not some peaky HP curve that is never just right for that 0-100 MPH blast is what most are looking for.
This subject remind me of the YZ Yamahas of the 70's versus the Husquvarna, again HANDS down, torque, more fun and controllability in the Husky, but maybe there were a few that like the outta control feel of the YZ. A very similar comparison.
