I've never heard of a 400 - must be something that wasn't sold in
the States, so I'm afraid I can't help you.

It was imported to Hong Kong from Japan with some mild modifications (exhausts that sound insane, a handlebar that looks like coming out from "The motorcycle diaries" and some fancy front braking system.) :)) In Japan I think you can't drive anything over 400cc during the first year of your driving licence so we get lots of these coming second hand in Hong Kong. I really think this model is a beauty, it's just that, being born in Le Mans in France (GP), I'd like just a bit more power and it would be ZE perfect bike for me.
Anyway, thanks for your mail.
Take care

Nish
