Had to pop into work today, nice and sunny, and YVT needs bringing back home. Answer is to commute in via the back lanes on this rip-snorting, wheelying monster (10bhp). I have reached the conclusion I enjoy riding any motorbike- its just a slightly different experience to suit the mount. But as I snapped the below photo I heard a rustling in the crop behind- remember the Mel Gibson film "Signs"?......  |

Paid for its self after two years of summer riding,. where I was plodding to work & back. Talking about mpg, what would be a realistic mpg for a 400 sd, pootling along around 50 to 60mph? |

Thanks Mark I think with a bit of tidying up that could be made into something really impressive, it just seems to work. The tank is a really nice shape the whole thing just seems to work and it doesn't look like a bitsa |
