The torque curve is impressive to me. If it has a flat torque curve, it is a very rideable bike. My BMW twins always have a flat torque curve; it's a good characteristic. After riding the 350, what I noticed the most is how quickly it built revs right off the bottom. There is good, strong torque from 4k rpm. In the RPM range I ride, the torque is there, 4000 to 7500.

My guess would be around $800 Aus depending on how much Bill can do it for and the exchange rate. The 300 kit from Kawasaki is $600

The price is subject to change depending on vendor increases beyond my control.
Hopefully parts wil be ordered in a couple of weeks.

Well I wasn't far off, with the kit being $520US + shipping to aus being around $50 US that makes it $570 at the current exchange rate of 64c it works out at $885au added to that you have to ship your cylinder to Bill which is around $40 - 50au so all up it's around $920au. If our dollar keeps dropping it will get dearer, if the dollar recovers it will get cheaper.
