A few pictures of my new bike
 
Just thought I'd show it off. Hoping to get out on it in the summer once the weather is better and I've finished my weekend job at my local Morrisons! Sorry about the sizes.

Looks very clean and shiny. :cool:

Sure you are going to have a lot of fun on that.:)

The front don't half look funny with one disc though.

Is there any chance you can lose that 1st pic. It's blurry and doesn't do your bike any justice at all IMO.

I presume it wasn't deemed necessary for a 400, plus keeping costs down, and it would help the handling a bit I suppose. That may not be the correct reasons though MYC :)

That's what I guessed, less powerful motor; less powerful brakes required. (cost cutting)
How does having double disks detriment the handling though pete?

Less unsprung weight with a single Dave. Helps turn in and the suspension can react quicker. That's why people fit C/F or Magnesium wheels or good wavy discs. All IMO of course ;).

ah never knew that. I always assumed souble would be better handling...(cause you can stop quicker) but that makes sense.
