Bloody hell, 400s are slow

[Drew]

Right, flagging the FZR 400 F3 thing now, too bloody slow, too much work to get it ready.....

So, I'm gonna give the 750 a birthday, and chuck an adjustable rear shock up it, a pair of front disks, (one was warped, so I ran it on just one, and melted it, literally, it has actually melted,) a new clutch, (I'm quite confident my lap times will come down if I can use full throttle,) and a 17" rear wheel.

Anyone know where I should go, to get a pair of aftermarket disks for the ol' girl. And what kinda shock to chuck up the rear.

Also, anyone want a street fightered FZR 400.

Disks -there is a guy in Waihi that makes them I believe he sell them on Trademe under Bike parts . If ya after a good shock then clearly Ohlins from Robert Taylor At Northwest M/C 062784160 tell him Scott sent you , he'll see ya right !

[bistard]

Mine has embarassed many a big bike over the years

How much? Would you accept being paid gradually?

[Toast]

400's rock...how much you after?

[CM2005]

wow, i'd love even a "slow" 400! got no cash, and your at the other end of the island...

[Morcs]

Obviously havent ridden an NC30 then?

[Citroenjunkie]

What exactly is slow, the bike, or you on the bike?

My CB400SF has 58bhp, even with my porky butt in the saddle it shows most jokers up!

You've obviously tried the rest, now go for the best...A Honda! :ride:

With a name like "Citroenjunkie", you're hardly qualified to coment on what goes well, Honda or otherwise.

[White trash]

Like a fuckin broken record aint he?

S'alright. I've recorded every single "I'm gonna waste you at the hillclimb....", "You're too old....", "You're past it......." phrase over the past two weeks and I'm gonna make him a nice little CD called "SHUT THE FUCK UP", presenting it to him at the prize giving.

I remember a REAL OLD FELLA :second: thrashing your ass on a CBR 400 RR at Manfield and Taupo last year so i recon you just have to harden up and get a grip on the throttle and let the brakes go ( even if its only 1 disc ). I thought you were on a very fast 400 until Neil Chappel told me it was actually a very slow 750 lol.
Whatever you ride .... as long as its fun.
