I loved the 400 when it was launched but was too small for me then lol. Riding a Hondamatic which I bought after having knee surgery and it’s bit too small,or am I just a fat ba*&£#d lol.

Welcome Dave.
Nice looking Hawk. Be prepared to spend some ££££'s for a decent 750. Bikes get bigger and heavier the older you get!

Not too bothered by weight at moment,another bike I ride is a Hardley.Been looking at prices for a while and they vary and can indeed be high I would like a K7.Thought about a 650 but without riding one couldn’t say if it was  as physically big as a 750.I’ve had both 650 and 750 sohc bikes in past.

Welcome to the 400four forum Dave. We do have members selling their excess bikes sometimes, so it's worth  a look.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?
