Is the ZX7R as good round the twisties as the 400? I found out I only fit the earlier versions of the 7R, the later ones are too big and I wasn't even able to get it off it's sidestand, hence my buying a 600 instead. Absolutely..although if you had the time and money I suppose you could shoe-horn a bigger engine into the 400 frame, meaning lots more power available with excellent handling. I did read somewhere (ages ago) about someone on the ZXR400 site shoe-horning a 900 'blade engine into the frame with the result that the frame actually broke after a bit of use, though. -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
