I had a huge smash exactaulty a year today where women in 4x4 pulled on my when riding my cbr250rr, i was given 50/50 chance of living etc... so i have a well f****ed body but i still love my bikes.

Can still ride fine,just missing kidney, spleen etc.... go a sv400s, but want to furfil my dream and get a ZXR400 :D

iv always wanted one and looking for a very very gd condition one for next year riding or whenever i sell my sv400s.

well done for getting back into biking mate after a smash......its the hardest part sometimes but then biking must be in your blood! god knows how many times I've had to do the same!

The SV looks good...never ridden the 400....I assume its the same frame as the 650.....the zxr400 is a good choice and although we are all bias here I don't think anyone has regreted buying one (only selling...eh Baz?)

Cheers.

Yeah same frame and bootem end as 650, basicaly everything the same, even puts out 53bhp as stock which isnt bad seeing as its a V twin, but i also got that custom made system on there u can see with the real carbon cans :D and 41mm carbs and pod filters so that should help her a bit.

She was a Extrack bike of a cousin but he died on his GSXR600 so i inherited it with only doing 300miles but had all these mods on her :D

take has mold on not rust, the cover on her molded on to her as she was a garaged for about 3 years :(

thats not too sad actually, 53 hp from a 400 twin. The 650 i think makes about 69 standard and thats got an extra 250cc. But the ZXR400 and SV650 are on par up untill about a ton and at the top end then the ZXR kills it.
