Re: buying a cbr 400rr
Hi formula400, best check out the specifications, stickied at the top in this section. tanuki and myself put up some info of the various specs and model changes. Basicly there are minor differences with the majority of changes in the 94 R models.
I would be looking for a clean standard bike, the main problems seem to be regulater/rectifier and suspension, both fixed easy with some pennies.
If you need more info though Im sure someone will answer your questions.

Re: buying a cbr 400rr
From what I can remember one of the main differences is that one model has different carb rubbers and makes 53bhp.
I think it was the 1993 model?

Re: buying a cbr 400rr
I just bought my CBR400RR (NC29) 1990 with 17,000 miles and one year MOT for £1,000 two weeks ago. I thought it was a bargain at that, given it had just received £800 of work with invoice from a garage to prove it.
