Not sure restricetd. The cbr400 will do 0-60 in between 4 and 5 seconds, at full power : 60bhp or so.

It'll do 60 mph in first gear and it pulls relatively hard in first as well. Spins up nice and quickely in first gear as well. Very Happy

You know what i've got. Wink Laughing

I tried to time myself 0-60 but had a slight problem looking at my watch and changing gear at the same time. Plus, the bloke in the cage in front didn't like me running up his arse either for not looking at the road.

I blame you for asking. Please cough up the costs. Smile

On the topic of the cbr400:

P.s. it will be quite a while before you can pluck up the courage/skill to go full on, ie idle through to redline up the gears. If you tried doing that after your test, you would cak yourself, no exaggeration... Wink

They are fast enough, for a good while. And i recon the handling, brakes makes up for a slight defacite in power (compared to 600/liter bikes). But saying that, for the road 400s are all you need. You just have got to keep the 400s spinning, ie high rpm... Make for fun though.

You'll love them, trust me.

Hmmmm, wish mine wasn't so...broken Mad Wink

Sorry but I beg to differ.

Admittedly for a model originally dating back 14/15 years it's a great bike. I can't see it out handling/braking a newer 600/1000cc machine with the same rider though. Things have moved on a little.

Of course you are right, D man. But for a bike of the age/ cheap price you get a lot for you're money. And they do handle really nicely.

New 600s will probably out run a 400 in twisties. But 400s are damn good, and maybey better than all but the newest/best bikes.

Dont worry you're blade is way better. Wink

Of course it helps if its being ridden by a good rider.

again loads of bike's brakes will out-brake 400s. But fr a newly passed person , all thouse things will be way more than needed for a good while...

1) Id say about 5 secs

2)RF600

3)4.5 secs (claimed)

CBR400 is a nice bike and is certainly plenty of fun for the money.

Claud - I agree with what you're saying really and a 400 is a great way to get into riding sports bikes. It's a shame that the UK still doesn't import 400cc machines as part of the official range and offer the backup they deserve. Perhaps if they did it might actually bring the death/accident rates of sports bike riders down.

If you've just passed your test and fancy a nice new machine what are the options? A 600cc supersports that are now so track based they are winning races without too much tweaking, or you could get something like Honda's idea of what the learner wants, the CBF500/600.

Not everyone wants to buy a commuter and sports machines definitely draw in learners. It's about time the big boys in the manufacturing world realised this and did something to control it.

P.S I wasn't trying to do the "My bike's better than yours" thing, each to their own as far as I'm concerned. Thumbs Up

3: Not sure, about 15 secs at the moment (same as CG's roughly, but will be better when I can finally sort this damn new engine out).

Oh sure, I understand . I was complementing your bike. I love blades, i do. Smile

If all these BABS, for example, jumped on 400s instead of litre/600s maybey the number of deaths could be reduced, as you say. Its a good point. 400s teach you how to ride sports bikes easily and in a safer fashion.

Err no, it is scientifically proven that yellow bikes are the fastest. Ask Bendy. Wink

1) Not sure, sorry mate
2) Yamaha thundercat (aka YZF600)
3) Claimed is 4.something... yet to prove that myself officer!

As for colours, I'm sorry but red is by far the quickest colour... most lasers are red and they travel at the speed of light... case proven? But there again, what's there before light gets there... that'll be black... damn I've successfully argued against me... I'll get me coat! Doh!
