Shit I thought mine was quite comfy on long trips. Not as good on town or gravel roads mind. I can't fathom why you'd store a hundred of them. Those japs are crazy.

Only because back then, just about everything else was bolt upright. Ride one today, and they're not so bad.

He was good enough to let me ride it. Was a true pleasure and a treat. That, and I finally own one as well.

I remember giving a mates father a ride of mine. He was in awe, said it handled like it was on rails. Big step from the 70s stuff he'd been used to.

When I sold it I'd got the the conclusion that it handled like it was on rails.

Nothing a shorter wheelbase, a steeper rake, a major diet, and some non twisty forks wouldn't have helped.

I found the seat quite hard as a pillion but his 400 was comfy enough when I rode it fir a return trip Taupo- Wanganui. I missed my heated grips though from the bandit :cold:

I desperately wanted one till I rode it. seat and pegs were fine but it is a loooooooong reach to the bars - so much so that my arms were kind of locked straight at full reach and my neck was hell sore. I bought a GPz750 instead... No Ragrets, as they say
