Who out there has wrung the neck of this bike versus another? I'm curious if this thing will out-run it's ancestors, brethren, or it's own shadow. These are motorcycles, aren't they....? ,BK

I'm a little shocked that nobody mentioned the ST2 or ST4. Those bikes are exactly meant to do what you are asking for. And they do it extremely well. They're plenty of high-mileage ST's out there to...

In person, it sure is a head-turner of a paint job. If the 70's are considered retro, Harley really nailed it. But parked together, your CB400F would still make that Harley look invisible. You're...

Styling aside, I can't believe they saddled it with such a small tank. At least the seat looks semi-comfortable, because SV's had the absolute worst saddles in motorcycling. ,BK
