A 250 would be boring, and i think a 600 would be too much to start off on, i think a 400's just right for a first bike,hardly any insurance difference between full test on a 400 and cbt on a 125, im getting talked into a 600, but insurance might be a problem and its a bit too much power to start off with, and the bikes are just too big for me at the moment.

Ductai is a fantastic 400 - but exceptionally rare - my best mate inherited one when he moved into his new house/factoyr - it was bricked up behind a wall - is mint - gorgeous looking bike - btu as I say finding one is difficult
for the ease of finding parts etc - Id say go for the NC23 CBR400

If I were you I would either take the ZXR 400, as a very accomplished mini sports (road my brothers for a while) or do what I did and go straight for a 600.

You won't regret it, you will bore of a 400 very quickly indeed when your getting minced by every 600 ever made!

Thats one of the most helpfull replies ive ever got :thumbs: :lol:
I don't know about the ZXR, im just not a big Kawasaki fan, im leaning towards the FZR, my bro had one before he got his R1 and so did my mate before he got his Ninja. Im going to a bike meet at a pub tonight, should be about 800 there,so i can nosey around and see what i like the look of and what people reccomend :D
Thats if i get there in one piece cos im going on the Ninja :lol:

i just sold my CBR400!
there are 2 types of CBR 400`s, and NC23 or an NC29. the NC23 is older but cheaper to insure and the NC29 is obviously the newer one but bit over priced for what they are!
Both are very gd bikes but be carefull to check the brakes, rear shocks, fork seals as these go very easily on these bikes and also make sure the engine tapets are all ok cos they are costly on these bikes!!

a mate has a FZR400 and these bikes are nice but the riding position is very odd if ur not small! its a very narow bike but is a fast one!

another mate has a ZXR400 and these are the fastest and most developed out of the lot, they may cost a bit but they are worth it and spares are cheap and easy to get hold of, we put a new engine in the bike in under 3 hours and only cost £300 for one with 12,000k on the clock!!

over all i would go for the ZXR 400 out of the 3 i have said about!

They are all crap, thats my review.
