    2018 July GSX400

    Certainly looks nice.

    Congratulations John McLuckie.

    Someone nees to educate me about an 81 400 4 cyclinder.
    THe fact that it is "GSX" tells me it is european, and that would be why I have not heard of a 81 400 4 cylinder.

    Tell us more John.

    Certainly a beauty! I'd consider myself McLUCKY to have that bike!


    Edit: Hmmm, now I see why you didn't copy and paste the image here. It doesn't work.

      Beauty.
      I recently learned a subtle but important difference after it was pointed out by Chuck 78. The 400 has a 4 valve head. US 450s have the 2 valver.

      When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

          What a beauty.
          The Bandit 400 was a fun bike but i wish we would have gotten that GSX here as well.
