They say the machine will run on a 120/70-17 tire in front and a 160-60-17 unit in rear."
I'd been saying for a long time that there was a new 400 with 47bhp coming out... seems I've been 100cc off both Kawi & Honda's attempts

But bang on for the HP

The honda will probably be officially announced at Birmingham, I'll be there & should have my camera with me
