Ive had some insurance quotes on 600s and they arent to bad (thats without pillon, but i wanna take peeps!!!), then i looked at quotes for 400s and they are much cheaper with Pillon.

what do u think of the GSXR400, does any1 know any ting about it, ie top speed, 1/4 mile....

when did they stop making them??

thanks guys for any help

thanks korn thats wat i was looking for, it aint the fastest 400, managing a mear 125mph, thats a joke.

ill probably go for the zxr4 or an rvf400, im gona try and get a few more quotes on 600s and take it from their,

thanks for the help guys!!

last ting: Wat insurance company u with korn??

Speed isn't everything remember... Volvos can top 170mph Laughing

a volvo doing 170?
off a tall cliff perhaps...

Korn · Admin Joined: 01 Feb 2002 Karma :

The Volvo V40 T4 does 160mph out of the box, the police pursuit cars can reach 180mph... I think they do something like 50mph in reverse too Laughing

"OMG he's too fast, now approaching speeds of upto 95mph!!"

its a very nice bike, very good and reliable
i know of some1 who has one and he complains that its too heavy of all things!(hes used to 2 strokes!)
the rvf/vfr are the best all rounders of the 400's and the zxr4 is up there too
i agree with korn, how often do u plan on exceeding 125?
im gettin me an rs250 and setting it up for more acceleration when i do(droppin the top to about 125), as i dont see me me needin much more ever

TJ NSR · World Chat Champion Joined: 03 Feb 2002 Karma :

no thats not that true, im not gonna buy a bigger bike for the xtra 25mph, and if im gona do track days then i dont wanna get passed buy others on 400s do i!!

i think ill stick with the idea of a 600, if insurance aint to bad""!!

I've got a 600 not for the extra speed, which if anything I'd prefer not to have as I do occasionally use it Smile

, but the 'usability'... being able to turn the throttle in any gear and still get reasonable acceleration.
