Title: "Oh, it's only a 400..."
Post by: tomacGTi on November 03, 2005, 05:19:32 PM

I got this twice the other day from two separate people. Must come from the "liter club to replace my not-so-liter penis".

One kid, literally still had his molester moustache, has a GSXR 1000 and a buddy of mine who has a ZRX1100 Lawson bike.

Whatever. The bike's mine and paid for. We'll see what you say when I see you in the twisties.

Don't pay any attention to the dumb@sses!  Those little boogers are some kind of fast.  I had a GS450 and that's only a two cylinder and if I wound the rpm's up it would wheelie and fly!

Yeah, a GS1150 was faster at the track...so, what?!  I'm riding on my street and to work and the store...in traffic.

Never let anyone's dumb@ss comments discourage you.  When I was a teenager, you could kind of hurt my feelings with comments about my vehicles.  A bike is a bike is a bike and it's yours and it works really good and it's fun and it's inexpensive to operate and they can bite your @ss!

I'd love to have a 400 Bandit to play with.  There is, or was, one on eBay recently and it was close to me.  I almost got it, but it had a dent in the tank and I don't like tank dents, nor did I feel like fixing it, so I missed out.  I think a water-cooled 4 cylinder 400 is cool!

Wonder what those two might say to this guy about the little 500 he's on?

Better yet, I wonder is they could even keep him in sight.  :wink:

I love that!  Especially the Lucky Strike trade mark.  Got any more pics of that bike? :grin:

Sweet bike!
I once saw an RGV painted like that at my old apartment, drool was a-flowin'

I agree with the statements above, the 400 is great for riding around, just go out and have fun screw the loosers that think engine sizes matters.  I ride with a bunch of experienced riders that would love to trade their big bikes for the B4 (for a day or so, but none the less).

Last sunday I was riding with 9 other bikes. The lightest bike of these was a ZZR 600 with 100 HP. The only one I couldn't keep up with was a SV 1000... damn good rider. It's all in the rider, and the rider has to learn on a light bike. Rossi started on a mini bike... and look at him now :beers: If someone starts on a GSXR 1000 he will either end up dead or end up too scared to even look at the throttle :lol:

I was more impressed by the world famous Yamaha rider sitting aboard the competition...

But here's another one with two Lucky Strike RG500's
