How fast compared to Q451

A bit of a strange comparison perhaps, but just out of pure curiosity. How much faster is the Vendetta than a Q451? I can easily maintain a speed of about 31kph on that. Bigger wheels and much better aerodynamics must make a huge difference.

I ride both a Quest 26 and Vendetta as my two usual bikes. The V is so very rewarding to what you put in, that I just don't try to ride the Quest fast any more. When I ride the Quest I positively dawdle, barely raise a sweat, but always arrive totally relaxed and unflustered. When I arrive on the V, I'll need a minute to get a few lungfulls of air. The clothes maketh the man, as they say. I'm seeing between 27 and 44 for most stretches on the V. My average is 28 kph, which might not seem much, but includes all ks ridden in Perth. If I ride for an hour I'd maintain 35 on the flat I guess.
