What's not to like about a silver bike with a blue bagster cover and tiger stripe mudguard, I ask you!?

Whats the front mudguard off?


It's a thundercat frontend, hence the tiger stripes, (a play on words!)
Some say...

The Full Set
2006 FZS 1000
2003 FZS 600
1998 FZ400

Just out of curiosity, what's the 400 like to ride (as compared to the 600)?
It is a lovely to ride. Strangely enough it feels much lighter than the 600, but it is the same physical size and the lack of weight is noticible, which make it even more flickable than the 600. The power band kicks in at 9000 revs and it revs all the way to the 13000 redline.  It is capable of 120mph but a little slower than the 600 to get there.  When I first bought it a few years ago it had standard fork springs and rear shock which made it very softly sprung and under damped. I changed the fork springs to Hagon progressive, fitted the 600 type adjusters and put in fresh standard fork oil. I also bought a Hagon shock for the rear and now is great on the road. My youngest son uses it for going to college and has embarrassed quite a few sports 600 with it. I personally think it is one of the most under rated of all the Jap import 400s I have ridden.

I really like that particular colour scheme on the thou and if I was to get one it would definitely be the colour I'd look out for (sorry Exupnut :P)

Don't apologise - it's mainly black, as we all know that's the fastest one. Don't apologise for preferring a clearly superior machine!  :lol

Actually, it's scientifically proven that yellow is much more slippery, generating less air friction and so allowing the bike to go faster...

Sorry, but no. He's why...

Microwaves don't like silver things, as they bounce off them. Hence, silver is slowest

In the visible spectrum, red is the slowest. Red has the least energy coming off the light waves

Yellow bikes follow red. Faster, true, but blue kicks its butt (as does Kawacrappy green).

Blue bikes are nearly faster, but purple bikes pin them to the wall.

And after purple, the light gets so energised and dark that all you're left with is black, as it heads towards Xray and Gamma ray speeds - the speed of light, and good at penetrating things (oo err!  :lol )!!!

I've never had a problem with microwaves bouncing off of my bike - I just don't ride it through the kitchen section of Currys...

What has the speed of a motorbike got to do with the speed of light and radio waves ?

I'm proper confused now I was under the impression the speed of a motorbike was it's distance covered divided by the time taken to cover that distance ?

That's a bit below the belt...  :rollin

It reminded me of this useless YouTube vid...


You wonder what has gone so wrong until you look at the description and find its restricted and 34bhp.
