Playing faster is a technique, it has nothing to do with the backshape of the neck itself. It's everyone's personal preference whether they like a thinner or thicker neck better. You'd have to play different ones for yourself to get an idea of what you like.
That being said, the KV2 should have a thinner neck over the RR1.
I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
I own a rr-1 bengal and neck is the greatest neck i have ever played in my whole life. I have never played the KV2 tho. My suggestion would be to play them both see which feels better.
I have both. The KV2 has a thinner neck and 24 frets. It also has thinner frets than the RR. Both balance nicely on a strap with no neck dive. So now, I guess you have to play both and see which one suits you best.
Or buy both and then decide.

To me, they feel similar. I like sitting down with V's. A lot of guys here say that it is uncomfortable for them. I sit with all my guitars the same way. In a classical position.

I find sitting in the classical position with the KV is easier than an RR. The bigger (vs. an RR) lower horn seems to slip around less for me. That said, I prefer the true jumbos and 22 fret neck of the RR. So it's pretty much a toss-up.

Use strap while playing seated and no problem at all
+ a million!!!!!!!!!! I hear people whining all the time..... I can't play a V sitting down wah wah wah... Just put a fucking strap on it and your good to go
As for the original question... I have 2 RR1's and have played a KV2 briefly and didn't really feel that much of a difference in the neck, although it was a little thinner. But, for me, I have found that you will adjust to a guitar after a while. I bought my DK1 online and when I got it, I couldn't get use to the feel of it for the life of me.The neck and frets were thinner than my RR1 I was use to playing. So, I put it up on Ebay trying to sell it and no one bought it. I then decided to just try and play it more and see if I could get use to it and after a couple of weeks my hands got use to it and it is one of my favorite guitars to play on
