Picked this up last weekend (from TheBoyChris Thumbs Up )

It's a Swedish import Shocked GSX400FWS and apart from a bit of corrosion due to being stood outside looks pretty tidy for it's age and only needs fork seals doing as far as I can see.

Here it is making the NSR look small.

It's a C reg I think, not taken that much notice of the back of it yet.

Great condition for a 'C' reg Very Happy

Well I'm undecided yet. I may just tidy it up and keep it. Not sure when I'd ride it though.

Could sell it once it's MOT'd etc but I doubt its worth that much anyhow.

Swedish import? Well bugger me.

Glad to see it went to a good home - was given to me a while ago and I was all starry eyed thinking I could get it gleeming, but my technical skills are about as good as my flying skills Smile

Good luck man, hope it's as good to ride as I remember Smile

Sweet

I've been on the back of it when it was running.

Absolutely fucking bonkers bike mate, enjoy it Karma

Watch out when the fuel runs into reserve, it's a bitch to get started once it's run out of main fuel (possibly blocked reserve pipe?)

Glad it's gone to a good home like, wouldn't of lasted long in my garden this winter. Or if Chris tried to repair it.

Love to see what you do to it, would be nice to restore it to its former lard arse 400 glory Very Happy
