    I saw it mentioned a few weeks ago in an Australian bike magazine and, as a small bike enthusiast, I'm waiting with interest for more details to be announced.

    Good to see, there has been an er4n and a 400 ninja available in some other markets for a while now.

    Yeah but they were sleeved down 650's, poor PTW ratio. This new bike should be a 'built as' model.

    Apparently it's a twin like the Ninja 300 is. Yeah a nice light 400 would be an awesome size machine. Should know when the motorcycle shows come round at the end of Oct. Waiting game.

    Yeah. Only Honda are dumb enough to be doing singles in this space. I looked at the Honda 300, and quickly realised it was down to the kwaka and the Yamaha R3 (which I went with).

    I've not long sold my CBR300 (must change my profile!) it was an OK bike but way down on power compared to the other two esp when overtaking.
    I'm pretty keen on getting a Kwaka next year but R3 is an option also. You happy with your purchase?

    Stoked with the R3. Haven't ridden the Kwaka so can't compare but the reviews I read about them, shoot outs etc, had them pretty close with only subtle wins and losses between the two. Personally I went with the R3 because the 17 in matte black looks sexy as fuck, has heaps of aftermarket parts and a Rossi rides a Yammy so it's got to make me a better rider. Haha

    Exactly the same with me. honda being a single ruled that out. KTM too expensive. so R3 or ninja. Didnt like the ninjas, dash, so R3 it was.

    They've got cheaper. pretty much same price as R3 and Ninja now. Not that I want to buy one tho, not even a mother could love that beaky front fairing on the RC390.
