if you look down at the horsepower it claims 44hp on the 400. Therefore it should be similarly fast to the ZXR right? Only thing i can think is losing power in the gearing through the gear box possibly? Not an engineer so someones gonna have to explain exactly why the ZXR should be faster despite having the same power.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Because ZXR's are Kawasaki, therefore are faster than everything else

The ducati is got a completely different delivery - if I were you I wouldnt really jump to one - go for a 95' ZX6R, or 7R now thats a bike that wont dissapoint..

They're probably as reliable as a Ducati with 20,000ks up

Agree totally - both my bikes have had a 14-tooth front sprocket since their 1,000km service. It makes them much more rideable than with the standard 15-tooth.

Not sure what style of bike your after, but my CBR600F means you don't have your ass up around your ears and is quick enough and if your bloody lucky you'll find a sub 50K bike around for 6 -7.5K. Without having a rode the Ducati 400 I would suspect the CBR 600 would have the goods on them

A work colleague of mine has an M600 and can't wait to get rid of it. He finds it hasn't got enough grunt. i'll tell him about dropping a tooth on the front cog.

Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

Thats more of an indication for the ducati's likely hood of touching the ground!

Now do you really believe that?

Gareth if you've got $7k, go for an RF900, zx6r, cbr6, older GSXR600 or 750 (with change)...unless you really love the Ducati for some reason. Stay Jap until you win lotto mate.
