    I need a 400

    Gday all, well after a long hiatus (last visited 18th march 2004) for very good reason, the call has almost lured me back to biking.
    I wanna get a 400, just a toy, something like a vfr400 or something that wont break the bank but is good fun at the same time.
    so...
    ideas?
    anyone got a nice 400 sport bike they wanna let go cheap cheap?!!

    Cheers
    Hasta la victoria siempre

    You may be wise to PM Paul in NZ. He has a fairly extensive thread about the restoration of a FZR400. Nearing completion I gather...
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Yeah Aiolos,
    I have had a good look at that bike, but I wouldn't have the first clue about getting it running properly, plus it'll be minus the fairings which isn't cool....
    looks nice though
    Hasta la victoria siempre

    www.suzukicycles.org has a great deal of info about all Suzukis. Not really any reviews but at least the numbers which is nice.

    this will be back on the market in a few weeks - it sold but then failed a warrant on brake discs so i gave the buyer the option to opt out if he wanted and he did

    i've replaced all 3 discs and am in the process of reconditioning the calipers, (pistons were a bit tight) will get new seals and new pistons if needed, new pads on the rear and have replaced the clutch lever

    will probably be around the 2k mark

    edit: have got a new rear tyre for it too
