Faults:

My brake pads had to be replaced at 43000km, and my carburetors had to be serviced at 44000km.

General Comments:

I have nicknamed this little bike "the pocket rocket".

It goes like a bat out of hell. The other day I ran it off the clock with a BMW behind me, showing 215km/h.

That's seriously quick for a 400. The only problem is it's a thirsty little bugger that drinks petrol like an alcoholic drinks vodka.

Just above 5000rpm at 90km/h, the petrol consumption increases drastically. Yet that's a small sacrifice for the acceleration and speed.

The other day I smoked the very well known Honda VFR 400NC35.

It comes as no surprise, that as I am running on cut cams and a full performance system, she kicks out 55kw and 42nm of torques.

Not the most comfortble bike around, but for short distances, it's peachy.

Handling and braking is spot on, and the bike only weighs 159kg, so agility comes easy.

Overall, I would recommend this bike to all those who seek fun and performance at a decent price.

It's reliable, and will leave most cars for dead on a 1/4 mile sprint.
