| I don't know much about motorbikes, but looking at the handlebars I'd guess that was a Honda CBR 400, weighs about 163 kg, has a 6-spedd constant mesh gearbox, gives about 50 bhp at 11,500 rpm with a twin spar aluminium chassis and telescopic forks at the front and monoshock suspension at the back. Pink would have been nicer though! |

| you too cmn, you have a great bike for running around the city but that's about it. Your fuckin little bike would be gasping for air for any long run and I would think that you would have the brains to admit that. Your bike is nice but hell I wouldn't have the damn thing for anything but running around the city or my little town on. To me, it's just a better version of the honda steed (piece of shit CHOPPERRRRR) because it gives you that extra bump in the low range, other than that, i's just too damn SMALL. |

| Until 3 weeks ago I was riding a CBR 150, toy version of my current bike. last yeaR I drove it to Bangkok...2 years ago to Butterworth in malaysia. From ChiangMai of course. Petchabun several times. Thing was sharpish and reliable. 2,000 km in 3 days. But I am very tiny.

Anyway. That bike is just right for CMN. He's not a big chap and he enjoys riding it. And, as it's a Honda it'll be reliable and cheap to look after. Good choice mate (shit colour though). | |

| No, I'm just giving CMN shit, it's a nice bike and if wants to ride that bugger to wherever, then more poower to him. I just don't feel safe on something like that and would be hurting for days if I did a 1 dayer on it. |

| It's a great bike for those less than say 5'8 maybe 10". Get my cranky knees, and 6'2" frame on it would be painful. Really like the idea though a tad longer with maybe, dunno 1200, or more, extra ccs some fatter tires, two less cylinders, Keep a name startin with an "H" make a decent enough bike.

| I've a yamaha (I think) automatic moped. It's really easy to drive, but it scares the life out of me riding it - And this is in the country. I love the idea of taking a massive Harley out into the hills but I just feel too exposed on a bike - whenever a lorry goes past I'm like, 'Arrghhh fcking hell'. I think the world is divided into bikers and bus passengers - Me, I'm on the No.44

| The Dog | I drove a honda fighter 125cc from Pattaya to Penang and back once, took me 22 hours to get back from Penang, fok it is cold riding bikes in January, I sat behind great big lorries during the night so their engine heat would hit me, foked if I would do that again.

| Kamphaeng Phet | I've a ~FAST~ FUN bike here in Florida: ![]() The problem is that as I age, the very heavy, and 'top-heavy' bike is a little more than I want to handle. If I dropped it, I'm in deep s**t! My Thai family is a little more conservative: ![]() When I get to Thailand, this is what I'm allowed to get around on: ![]()

| CMN I have the service books for your bike on PDF. You may require them I think I have the NC30, NC29, NC24 and NC31 plus a load more but it will be two weeks before I can upload it search for service manuals pdf of the net and there is a bike forum that will have them all availabalbe just can't remmber the name ![]() ![]() That is a CBR notice the sporting seat compared to yours. The bike below is a CBR400f ![]() Which has your seat. So I would most definetealalalelally say that your bike is a CBR400F Don't worry the F doesn't stand for faggot. ![]()
