How many of the KM 2-speed Baja owners have seen wide open throttle and how much faster is the 2-speed vs the single speed? 5-10-15 mph?
Very few I am guessing.......?

It's pretty quick. I plan on strapping my GPS to it this weekend to see just how fast. There's an unfinished development at the end of my street. The roads are paved but not open yet so I have about 1000ft of straight, smooth, and empty pavement for some nice WOT passes and it gobbles up road at an alarming rate once it's going.
2nd gear is 20/54 which should be good for near 60mph in theory but there are a lot of other factors that affect top end speed. The single speed gearing is 17/57, which should be good for 45ish so, to answer your question, probably about 15mph faster than a single speed with stock gearing.

by the time it grabs second, you better be looking ahead making sure you can slow down. ive had it wind out a couple times down a backroad, and as it did a fly by going by me and my wife, all she could say was "that thing is so dangerous"
