Cheers guys. I don't know if i will be on any rides tomorrow due to the heavy rain warning but if it is sunny i might just pop down to the autobahn in the morning as a first test ride.Bought it from a chick in hamilton. seems to go ok, and will hopefully be going one big rides within 2 weeks.

Yip i am going on quasi's thing road trip extavaganza. But hopefully will be on a few rides before that to test her out.

In the one or two sunny 15min blocks today i took her for a little ride just around where i live to get a feel for the machine and i found out a few things.

1) SHE IS A WEAPON (compared to the 250 anyway)
2) coldish tyres wet roads and accelerating over 10k revs in first/second (havn't got into fourth of fith yet) = a wet rolling burnout.
3) It likes to eat cars for breakfast lunch and dinner.
4) quite a bit heavier than the 250 (when going into corners and general handeling)

OK now i needs the info. I really would like the specs for this bike. The unresticted ones if possible cause i can only find good specs in different languages.

the only restriction was in top speed AFAIK, so like, there aint no real difference dude - the M Max box they try to sell n00bs to "derestric" there 400 only takes out the 180kmph speed limiter... which can be done with a 20c part anyways ;)

the 400greybike.co.uk chat page is excellent. i was on there when i had my gsx. they are really helpful, and totally passionate about their 400's. there is heaps of bits available ex uk - it is easy to ship stuff over - i even shipped a (nearly) new rs250 gearbox over, came via finland, landed, including purchase and shipping, for around nz$300
