    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.

    MR had 3 ZXR400's over time......

    See your point, I was pretty keen on a ZXR400 until the Hyosung/SV caught my eye.... the only probs with 400's are they are a bitch to sell, as I've seen a few on sale for months. There are enough guys who know their stuff (decades of serious biking) who recommend both getting a 400 and an equal number who say get a 600.....

    No he was not a knee down guy - 2inch pukpuk strips...

    I would like a SV/Hyosung - just like I'd like an agusta.... but honestly at $10k

    In reality I can't see myself looking past a ZseXR 400. (Recommended Bike by Frosty/MR).

    Take one for a ride they are reallllllllllyyyy nice (well suited me at least in terms of ergonomics) - should suit you too I guess maybe if you lowered the pegs - maybe, as you're on the tall side.
