    I've heard that the ZXR400's are a superior track bike, so fastest 400 may be pushing it.

    Apparently the VFR400 is a far better road bike though, so a better choice for most.

    I agree with mynameis. NC30 is a super bike but i forked out a bit more and got a NC35. Totally have not looked back. And yes the one on trademe for $6K was overpriced i thought.

    I did plenty of searching the web on 400's when I got my full and pretty much everything I read praised the NC30 and the NC35. Yes apparently the rectifiers have issues but havent experienced it myself. In my humble opinion a 400 is a great step up from your 250 as they still have plenty of grunt to keep you interested but not that bad for insurance etc.

    The sound of the V4 together with the Cams is mint and the single swingarm is superstuff. You wont regret it son.

    I know if you have a problem with the rectifier, you can just move it. I thin sAsLEX has done something like that.

    Drill a hole, glue a hose to it and run it out the bottom. Keeps it tidy and stops water in bits where you don't want water. The only bike I ever wrote off was one of those, hit diesel on a corner.

    Arrow Just buy it!

    Recifier? Pfft, an aftermarket part spliced into the wiring fits in nicely and never do you have that problem again. I had the problem once on a 92 CB400f2 where the bike cooked the battery dry because of it. Plenty of advice, but I reckon you should get what you want eh.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    Far out man, don't like worry about it being a Honda dude. The common theme over the years from people dissing the big H is that they are so good that they don't have any character (ie bits don't fall off).

    I can't talk about this bike in particular, but have had nothing but good experiences personally and good reports from mates with Hondas.

    Having said that, Go Kawasaki!
