In what context mate. They're good for a 400cc supermoto trially thing.

But Good can mean anything. It doesn't and won't meet the power of a 2 smoker or a sports 4 banger of the same cc i.e. vfr400. But then that's not everything. They look wicked. Plenty of torque and are what, good for 90mph+?

After nath's finished with it.

Four strokes are a little more complex than a two smoker. Better off getting a nice condition one. One that won't blow.

They are reliable if you keep on top of the oil and flush/change every 1k miles, stock gearing you'd get 100mph indicated about 90ish realistically tho, heavily modifiable bikes too, parts are quite expensive tho. always get people coming up to me with mine saying either how nice it is or how good it sounds blah blah

Average about 2k look to pay 2.6 for a nice low mileage one with tasteful mods

one of the wires is catching on something and blowing the fuse, aka tomorrow is going to consist of it getting stripped down and having a look over the whole loom

Get a Dominator 650! About £1,500 on eBay.

Beasts. Let the throttle off and roll it back, you're on the back wheel. :D

Do about 90MPH, more than enough for commuting IMHO. Only downside is they're heavy.
