Some Aussie guy that was doing around the world adventure riding used to buy the XR400SM as they kept making them after they stopped making the XR400 he used to put it in dirt wheel trim.
I remember looking serious at buying XR400 when they first came out. I thought they were almost the perfect bike...
I rode a demo XR400 a mate had out. After my KDX it felt like landing a block of flats. I was glad when I finally stalled it and couldn't start it so we swapped back. I learnt I'd cut my bars too thin and my front brakes could be better, but XRs are dreadful. At least on the dirt.
Actually I'd learnt that 15 years before with my XR250.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
