giftgrub

Currently on a vespa px 200, its great fun but i'm thinking about upgrading to something with a little more va va voom.

my girlfriends old lad knows his bikes an he told me the honda bros 400 was a winner.

anyone know anything about it?

its the choice of couriers around dublin and is a great solid reliable bike and a nice step into real bikes
its a 400cc v twin, which puts out about 33bhp
it has tonnes of low down pull and flies to about 50/60 mph, tops out at about 105
its very narrow and is great for flyin thru traffic
ive heard a few dodgy stories about findin spares, but there are so many around id think it cant be that hard if u look hard enough

Top bike nice, small and light easy to handle for a first bike and damn reliable considering the amount of couriers driven them and the condition some can be in and still drive

Gmodified

not a rocket but very reliable and they go for ever. Plenty of torque which make driving in the traffic easy.
Hard to get one with small mileage

Wow, didn't know they were V-Twins...
As Batman_oh mentioned: 6,573 couriers can't be wrong..

If you're buying one, try and get one that has just come off the boat, to avoid the possibility that it has been couriered (high mileage/high stress). So try the shops that are known for importing japs (e.g. Bray Honda Centre etc..)

The Grey motorcycle mecca has a limited amount of information available..

Insurance: ring your insurance company for a quote.. Depends on your age/license/address/bike value/NCB.

Here's a review.

Do you Google?
