You're right on the hp; thanks! For top speed, Sportrider claims 118 for the 500 and Visordown 121 for the 400, which makes no sense, so I'll just assume you're right there too. Not sure those numbers have any relevance to me IRL, but they're fun to toss about.
Yesterday's attempt to take delivery was washed out by a sudden torrent. I picked it up this morning and enjoyed a 38F ride in drizzle on new/slippery tires, so all the performance is theoretical at this point.
