Diesel am far from the best rider but my j1 to this zxr400 are miles apart in the power stakes even in just general overtaking you have to think far more about it or you end up 6 feet under in a box. Am not at all saying the 400 is a bad bike if anything its better then the bigger bikes as it makes you ride better (try harder) but lets not fook about here it lacks power for everyday riding as in over taking taking the piss out of scoobys :smt002

I think you can pull off faster than the bigger bikes cos you can fully gas it from the word off without the problem of the front end comin up, but sadly it dont take long befor the larger machines take over you. (unless there is a series of bends ahead)
Remember speed kills, so does smoking, drinking, drugs, fast food and many more good things
