Could this be an issue of 'There are lots out there, but there just isn't one I want i.e £500, perfect condition, 4,000 miles, rare colour scheme, ten metres away from house etc'?

There's 21 ZXR400s on Biketrader at the moment, 4 of which are within 50 miles of Leeds city centre.

Maybe their so good that all their owners don't want to sell them.

[Wave2k]

or maybe they break so much there running in short supply

The never ending sniping between honda 400 owners and zxr400 owners

*dusts off rifle*

[Jrod]

Which 400 is it that boasts the most BHP as standard, I forget?

[craigs23]

lol, what's this started?

The difference between a couple of horse power and a few kilos?

[Gazdaman]

In the bemsee SuperSport 400 series they are 90% ZXR's, with the occasional VFR and the odd RVF.

Gaz

[minesweeper]

bemsee? sounds like a childrens program with bouncing fat creatures that scare anyone over the age of 6.....

Which 400 kicked arse at the last 2 tt's

https://www.rlrmotorsports.com/RVF400.html

Yep that would be an rvf400

[Jrod]

Pfft anyone can tune a bike with enough money. STANDARD form the kwaker owns.

[minesweeper]

Did enjoy a ride on a 96 zxr400 once until it came to some bump roads still have scars on my nut sack

Only messing with you i love all the 400's prefer them to any other size of bike and is why ive thrown over 3 grand at mine!

Matt

[Jrod]

I've spent about 2k on mine.

[craigs23]

They tuned ZXRs, CBRs, FZRs, RVFs, VFRs, etc for the Isle of Man.

The rider who won (good on 'ya Mr. McGuiness) has a lot to do with the equation upon applying said tuned power/suspension.

Same applies to road bikes.

[minesweeper]

errrrr I don't regard the last couple as just spending money on the bike as I'd put them on any bike I had.

I'm sure theres more but meh!

[minesweeper]

Its all about losing a tooth of the front gives u an edge over any other 400 that trys to keep with you off the bike and used to (before the single seat) impress pillions no end!

Forgot to mention the engine has been dyno'd at around 64bhp at the rear wheel, by a realistic dyno, which is enough for me!

All i realy want is the dymag wheels, new shock and an mhp dual can system and im happy oh yeah and this....

[Jrod]

Where do you get all that carbon stuff? I WANT CARBON STUFFFFFFFFF.

[minesweeper]

Almost all of its been bought from ebay over the last year, takes patience. The fairings were bought as they were in my mathcing paintwork then turned out to be carbon fibre for 65 quid! will sort some pics when my bike gets back on thursday.

Just gotta search around mate.

I spent a couple of weeks spending every night checking eBay, Autotrader.co.uk, visordown, here, basically all over the place. Luckily the one I bought came up on eBay, emailed the guy and he said he'd take £1400, and in the end I managed to get it for £1375.

Just bide your time mate
