Just a question for the organisers of organising , are there any plans for a meet anytime soon ? bike shows ,pubs , road side greasy spoon ? , although i love my mates NONE of them ride bikes , all white van men with hoards of kids and one of those wife things so they aint got the time or money for bikes .

know what you mean , had a zx7r that was just costing to much to keep tip top ,tyres,chains etc ,loved the bike but had to go , sold that and got this zxr400h2 off ebay for £830 with nearly 12mths tax and test ,for first few days i regretted selling the 7 but this 4 has grown on me and im liking the light weight and better brakes than the 6 pots on the 7 ,my only gripe with the 400h2 is the imported parts and sourcing them for the right price .Good luck with finding a 400 for the right money , as the sun comes out more the price will sneak up ,brought mine as abit of a dog and hoping to have it turning heads by summer with little money but loads of time spent on it .

after selling the 7 i was looking for a blade but one i saw was in london ,to far ,saw this 400 and thought "hey ,it would be good to spend abit of time and money on making something special with my bare hands " cheaper to run from day to day ,parts ,tyres,the lot ,so brought it , can honestly say i wont be going back to big lumbering 750s for awhile , not this summer anyway , my only advice with this 400 market is try before you buy , check everything twice ,take a good look at the owner and if you think he/she might be abit ham-fisted in every department ,walk away , good luck !!
