I do like the 400's, shame i'm 6'3" and look like I'm riding a childs bike when I sit on them..
I used to know someone who put a CBR600 motor into a CBR400. Had a little frame work to fit the head and carbs in IIRC as it's a little wider but externally it looked like a 400.. needless to say it went quite well.. I would imagine you could fit an early fireblade engine in if you were so inclinded / a skilled enough fabricator..

i fit alright because i'm a short arse,ive heard of a few cbr 400's with 600 lumps fitted,there was an fzr 400 for sale on the pb mag forum with a fireblade lump fitted
mine started as a katana `pop up headlight model` but decided to streetfighter it.
it now has a buell seat, gsxr 750 engine, mix of vfr 750/400 single sider rear end, harris rear sets etc. it`s sat in the back room untouched for the last couple of years

Taken the Cmaino off the road, it's an unreliable heap basically!
Fucking jap crap.
Got this now:

Derbi Vamos "sport edition"
Only shit bit is the fuel guage is broke (Had to push the bastard 6 miles home
) Other than that, perfect...
Except that, like all 50cc, it's slow as fuck.

Awesome bikes on here chaps 

Here's my baby.. its a GSXR 1000 K5 STEALTH running 178 at the back wheel
she has a micron header/racefit can , K&N filter , Power Commander 5 with custom map
also has around 2k of Carbon , race rearsets , Ohlins Damper
also has tooth down on front and one up on rear sprockets so lifts front up with ease at 150 in 4th

whats yours like for transmision noise on down change in first gear? mines quiet down every gear till first then sounds like its strait cut. dont want to pull it down till ive had abit of feedback from other k5 owners. cheersCarbon looks well smart were did ya get that from ? Ive gone +2 on rear and standard front found this keeps front up for longer
changing gearing throws speedo way out tho

worth getting the k5 done tho best machine out there for the dollar
I have just passed my test and got this


I am debating weather to have the K&N fitted and the Akrapovic put on it
1st bike, really looking forward to having it delivered to the South of France and the sun, l pick it up on the 25th from Webb's in Peterborough, l would add that they have been great
