It's a great bike StickShift! Bear in mind too, that I'm able to say that even though In the last 2 years I've had an FJR1300, an MT-01 and a CBR600RR7!! Why not ring your nearest dealership or log onto Honda Oz and request a brochure? Read through it, book a test-ride, and then send me the brochure :D

Can't believe the number of admirers this little bike attracts when you park up at a bike meeting. Rode about 300 miles today and killed about 3,000 flies. Just cleaned her up and took a pic before the sun went down.

I heard rumours that the BHP limit on 400's had been lifted in Japan so I was wondering if a new import would be restricted like the older imports. I'd love a 65-70hp 400 but can't justify buying a restricted one.

What BHP limit? There is a restrictor that limits top speed which kicks in at 180 KPH, but it doesn't affect BHP. BHP limits probably refer to the licence laws in japan..... see also http://www.400greybike.info/newforum/vi ... =10&t=8866" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I've had a few greys over the years, my first a CBR400 AERO was unrestricted then in about 1988 the 58BHP limit came in, in the 90's the limit was dropped to about 54BHP. A 750 was restricted to 65BHP at the same time. The 112mph speed restrictor is easy to get around but the power-limiter was part of the CDI unit (at least on a VFR750 I had it was) and was almost impossible to get around. The 400's have stood still since the 80's only making 54hp when they should be putting out about 70-80hp now.

Hey Mad Dog,

Now that you've had the bike for a while I'd love to hear an indepth review. Especially compared to the other bikes you've ridden.

Handling
Acceleration
Fuel consumption
city vs highway riding
commuting vs touring

just wondering
