You should try a real bike, might find you like them .

[Wave2k]

I was thinking a real bike that had the correct number of cylinders .

Anyway, everyone knows that real bikes don't have cams.

G - 400greybike covers everything i believe. plenty of people on there with zxr4's most of the stuff is about the hondas but still very useful for any new 400 owner.

LOL it's a ZL400 Eliminator!

Been doing it up and getting it roadworthy for the last 6 months (well, I've been watching Himself do it and maybe tackling the odd bit of painting or polishing, passing spanners, that kind of thing).

I will do a proper review with pictures later, I did actually write one last night but my internet broke just as I was about to post it.......

I was clever, I saved it in Word! But it's on the laptop at home and I'm at work (watching M1ke fight a losing battle with an excel spreadsheet at the moment! ) so it'll have to wait a bit.

Need to go home, eat, ride it a bit more and then I'll be back on with a proper write up!

Real bikes are different from the rest, real bikes have cam belts dry clutches and Desmo valves and 2 cylinders in an L formation

I sat on a Ducati 999 today.

Lets just say, the plastics were 'flappy' and there was mesh missing from the air ducts, looked like crappy as hell build quality to me.

[Wave2k]

must have been a poor 999 then,
they are simple bikes, i dont feel how 'flappy plastics' means bad build quality' hell all my sports bikes have had flappy plastic.
They are Simply designed, the fairings are very easy to take off and they bike is very simple to work on, Unlike my suzuki which was an absolute bitch.
Sitting on a bike dosent mean you can come to a conclusion about it, did you look at the other aspects ?
No thought not.
