Oddly enough, it sounds like most of them held up well. Maybe we'll see them in North America again someday.

Cool, thanks for this link!

Yea, of all the ninja 400cc rumors, if kawi does in fact bring back the Ninja 400, that would be sweet.

I cant afford 2 motorcycles, so if they do make a new 400cc and it looks like a 2009-2010 650R (in the front) yet looks like a 09-10' ZX-6R )in the rear. After test riding one, im sure i would seriously think of trading in my 250R for it!


Perfect world, i would keep my 250 and get another!

No love for the Suzuki Bandit 400? I've seen a few of them on the road over the years - beautiful little bike!

The bandits are sweet. I just don't like the fact that they are air-cooled....

I want one of these 400cc wonders! Or a 1998 ZX-2R. That would be a kick in the pants!

I really miss my Yamaha Seca 400. Best bike I ever had and a real head-turner. People would stop me when I'd park and comment about how futuristic it looked and my neighbors all started calling it the Bat Cycle.
I still search eBay motors hoping I'll find a decent one with low mileage.
