Why dont Honda make a V4 600? Man that would be sex on a stick. Even id be tempted
Have always wanted an RVF400, because they are basically awesome! They still worth some cash, was looking recently and £2300 for a good one. I gave up because I think someone my build would look rather ridiculous on it.

Welcome to my reasoning on a sporty little 400. I would need one each foot!

What about the Street Triple? A slightly less powerful version of the D675 engine so youll likely like it with nakedness so you will perhaps know when you are going quick.

for some reason it doesn't appeal that much

now the speed triple... that sounds interesting...

edit: it's not so much a self control problem, it's just that the 675 is a weapon that's wasted on the road, i rarely used 3rd gear and almost never got to 4th

Gramps has one and loves it, also he said its weird, he feels comfortable and the windblast doesn't feel as bad as it did on his Sprint 1050. He loves the Speed Trip. Again, there is the Speed four.

Clearly not trying hard enough

I can't stop looking at 250 2-strokes at the moment. While evrything else is scarce in NZ, there are loads of NSR's ans RGV's. RS250s go for stupid money, but the Suzuki's and Honda's are coming in at just over a grand (pounds). I can afford it but can't jusitfy it + I have no space in the garage.......
