Preferred the 500. My mate was mad on them, he had quite a few at one time, even had one with a single digit frame number, No7 iirc. Regularly went on the back of his 500, used to pull wheelies just going onto the power band.

Don’t see many 400s, the 250 was far more common.

Had a good coffee stop to look at the day and saw the enclosed. What a cracking looking little thing. Yu dont see many 400's now it was nigh on mint.
Got side drafted up the inside by a prat in t shirt n shorts on a chinese 600 thing so took great pleasure giving him a spledid lesson in road ethics on the way to Somerton and then a whole 'can of Northerner' at the lights into Street when he finally crept along side me.
Not seen a bloke look that sheepish for years......made my day! ;D

T shirt, pumps and shorts and no gloves! I kid you not! What a pillock! ???

"Can of Northerner."  What a turn of phrase. Poetry!
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Rapidly increasing in value now as there arent that many of them left. This is the first one I've seen in abou 4 years. It was never the more popular modelbut I aleays liked them over the 250. Leathal but really good ;D

Afraid not. Small padded envelope went in the bin which was emptied by the council this morning. Looking at Royal Mail it's probably £2.15, that's if you sent it second class?

Seat arrived today totally as described - solid just needs re blinging on the trim side.

Roo you are a star with your bouncy character, humorous input and generosity such as this to boot! Thanks.

Strange but I met a bloke last night in the pub after a bike meet. Turned out he has a mint KH400 as well, his is blueish IIRC.
