Took both my road 400's over as well as race RS250, did the 250TT but was then stuck on Island for 4 days before could get ferry home, hence the road bikes!! ;)
Semi seized the RVF at the end of the mountain mile on the rev limiter in top chasing a triumph 675, still passed him before Kate's cottage with bike not running 100% :lol: Amateurs 8-)

well in! i love 675's so fair play for beating him, id love to do the mountain but its right in the middle of my exams this year, or id be there for both 2 weeks as id be on the phase one team as a mechanic, o well cant win them all

i shud be at the nw200 with them, are you going? if u are I guess it will have to be on 250 of 1000 seeing as the narrow minded gits dont want 400's anymore lol

the 23wheel is alittle lighter than the nc29/vfr400 wheel im told and after lifting them both..the 23 front wheel does feel alittle lighter
i dont have scales
i race my 23 with a 23 front wheel and a 29 rear just for that reason...
if i raced my 29...id put the 23 front on for sure
theres not alot in it tho...but every little bit helps eventually
