That FZR400 would be a gross bike. It's way outside lams power/weight so no idea why they're allowed.

Only question I would have is why is he trying to sell it/trade it for another bike of similar value. Makes me wonder whats wrong with it

Heres my SV400. Got about 19000 on clock. Still on original chain and possibly brake pads. I'm second NZ owner and have service history from previous owner etc.

Cheers man, nice bike! Unfortunately the guys here have set me straight and it looks like I can't ride this bike with my licence.

Nope it's not and by manufacturers specs, will never be

I only saw manufacturers specs with the dry weight, I approximated 20kg for the wet weight and it scraped in. Have you seen a published wet weight for this bike?
Or does it go off the dry weight?

Thanks for for the bike suggestions guys!

It goes off dry weight if the manufacturer says dry weight which is a bit sad because the SV400 would be a real nice learner rig, go a bit nicer than the Bros400

Somebody on here tried getting a bike LAMS approved by stating that if the bike was wet, it would be LAMS approved. Of course, the bike wasn't LAMS approved even with the wet weight, but the LAMS guys *DID* consider it wet.

If it was me, I'd try submitting the SV400 to be LAMS approved and make note that if you added 20g for fluids it would be LAMS approved, and a damn good LAMS bike at that. Couldn't hurt! The guys doing the LAMS addendum's seem to be quite sensible chaps.

SV400 makes more sense as a learner bike then an RVF400 does
