depends on your riding style. brother has a kk bought it new in 03 and not one problem. lots of power and torque. good dependable sled.

KING all the way!!!!! They are bulletproof, you can hurt that chassis. and the motor is solid. There are also a ton of aftermarket items for that sled. Save yourself $5000 and get the KING.

how much money do you want to spend?? 5000, or 12000! I rode a 05 king cat for 2 years and this year bought a 07 m1000, totally different sled, i like the king cat , but it will beat the crap out of your body, the m is a lot nicer on your body!

my buddy has a kk and it runs great, but can be very tempramental when it comes to putting cans and messing with exhaust. i ride an 06 m8 and they are pretty comparable as far as power, althought the kk does seem to have more low end grunt. I however wouldn't trade the handling of the m-series for it. The m-series is a lot more nimble sled and doesn't beat you up as much. but i don't think you could go wrong either way.

well it comes down to, do you want spend 12,000 dollars or 6,500? there is definatly a power difference but a kk will do just fine.
