    Hey, I see Latin mottos are all the rage:
    "Not what, but how". (BTW should be quomodo not quomodum - naughty boy, write it out 50 times).

    Very appropriate motto when you consider the attitude some people have towards "small" bikes - i.e. anything less than about 750cc.
    FWIW I have a Honda CB-1 as well as the GSX. I made a half-hearted attempt to sell the Honda but I'm secretly quite chuffed that nobody has offered me enough for it so I'll just have to keep it. It's WAAAYYYYYYY too much fun. I'll have to seriously consider getting onto the race track with it now. Of course it will require a few minor modifications to compete with Mitch's GSXR400 and Kwaka's RVF400 or is it the ZXR400? - I tend to get a bit confused about his bikes. So yeah, there are a few 400s round here...

    I am with you there Rice, I have a 91 GSXR 400.  Had it a couple of years now and have loved EVERY minute of it.  Tis a bit rough around the edges now days due to several crash's on the track but it's still the love of my life!!!!!!!!!!

    I've got 2 ZXR 400s for the moment belive it or not. I haven't revealed my details but I could almost pass for another Kawa kid, cause I have 3 motorbikes and all 3 aren't rideable at the moment. Hopefully that's soon to change...

    Luckily I still have my trusty scooter

    another westie too perhaps?

    The thing i like the most about small bikes is that in the right hands and the right roads, they can be used to seriously embarrass riders with large ego's on large bikes. kinda like Andy1 and his CBR250... but I wasn't so much as embarrased when he overtook me as appalled at where he then overtook the guy on the gixxer1000 in front of me!!!

    i have been there tho on my old zxr250 (track day and on road)and it's a great feeling!
