Answer: Motard!

Well i took a vfr400r for a test ride today and it has heaps of torque, handeled pretty damn good. But brakes and acceleration were shoit compared to the zxr. I could probably learn to ride it really really good but as they said at the bikeshop it would be a step sideways.

I am test riding something else on saturday that i might probably end up getting ...... but we'll see

Sideways? Its a Honda shop, right?
The only better 400 you're going to find, is probably this one here
whats better than a ZXR400H?

Nope they said that buying another 400 was a step sideways.... meaning i should get a 600

Not that much..... and yes i wanna go racing but it will be in F3 so i'll have to save up. Remember i am buying it from a bike shop cause it'll come wif a warrenty. Its pretty banged up but i'll do the cosmetic work myself. Mechanically it is apparently awsome

Buy bigger, but test ride heaps, dont rush.
Im shopping for new bike, might try for a SP1 mmmm

the shop says that so they can empty your wallet. remember its your money dont buy something you dont want. however i doubt you wouldnt like a 600. the only thing they arnt very good at is touring but even thats possible, but youve already got a sports bike so you know that. i think an early 90s 600 is also a sideways step with the only benefit being more power. my vote buy a good set of tyres for your current steed, youve already spent heaps on it your only gonna lose that money anyway. tyres are everything and can turn a bike from a pig into a sweet handling machine.

These guys wouldn't steer me wrong. They were also showing me a viffer 400 as an uternative. Took it for a test ride and didn't fancy it. Not enough up and go. Gonna test ride this other one on saturday and we shall see. It is a lates 90's one. A 98 i think and so it would have a bit more oomph (which is what i am after) if i don't like it i'll sell it. Loose a bit of money maybe but at i really wanna try a 6 hundy for a while
