Just spotted this - looks good value to me for the quality on offer....

Would you use it though?

Yes I would ride it...

You know a while back they were as common as egg on toast and nobody took no great notice but today that is a really nice bike and I am not a 400/4 lover
Well done
Cheers

Certainly a nice shiny example.
If it were an earlier one in that sort of condition then maybe?
Wonder if the clutch cable guide is there :o
-
I use mine and it's better than that one.
Just have to keep on top of them. Will be going in it's vac bag in the next couple of weeks after a good coating of ACF50.

Forgot. I also extra, extra large condoms to fit you bike ;) Get real boys, you will all end up buying sandcasts ;)

In what way is yours better?it looks flawless to me

Im no expert but mine's not far off as good looking and sparkley as that one, and it gets a ride out 2-3 times a week (weather permitting of course!!). Moved her into the conservatory today for the winter, central heating, tv, blablabla, I like to tinker in comfort. :-*

Nurse Julie, I would like to ask a Question seeing you are a female member.
Lots of male members have problems with there wifes if they bring a motorcycle part in to the house. Many have problems if they put parts in the dishwasher or use the oven to bake on the paint on engines.
As a female member could you throw some light on what is the problem? Seeing that you have no problem in having your bike in the conservatory.

Personally Trigger I have never seen the problem with bike bits or whole bikes indoors, why be cold and uncomfortable working in the garage when it's -10 and blowing a blizzard outside when you can be lovely and cosy indoors. I also feel that dishwashers, ovens and sausepans are under utilised when just used for cooking the dinner and getting the dishes clean afterwards. Make the most of what you have I say.(Still waiting for someone to try cleaning bike bits in the pressure cooker though, I'm not that brave !!!). The truth now.....I live on my own these days but when married I still had his and my bikes indoors, they look great with tinsel, fairy lights and balls on at Xmas. Anyway, must move all the front brake caliper bits off of the worktop, batch of fairy cakes coming out of the oven. :-* :-*

Diamond girl i would say. True biker :)
-
Classy chick - love it
-
Thanks Chaps. If you all lived closer I would run round with some of my fairy cakes for you and your familys to enjoy :-*
-
think I'm in love......
-
clem2012 - nope, the clutch cable guide loop isn't on the bike! Blew up the pic and it's definitely not there...
EDIT - I think that's a reasonable price for what it is. I've seen optimists asking more for inferior bikes. I reckon £4000-4500 is top money for a 400 Four these days (for a private sale, anyway), and this bike is definitely top class.
-
Yeah, I couldn't resist taking a closer look either....
That's why I posed the question ;D
The detailing is very good though ...
Personally I would have to go see it before any offer went in.
Starting the engine up from cold would be at the top of my list of things to check.
I don't relish opening up an engine anytime soon...seals, gaskets etc etc
Minor cosmetic stuff I quite enjoy !
It would be a long trip for most people so more close-up photos would be useful.

With the bike or the fairy cakes mick?
-
that would be telling ;D ;D ;D

Top posting Julie... I am slowly clearing out my utility room and suggested we buy a nice big upright freezer to replace the chest one that's take up valuable floor space. My plan is to move my resto's in there (as the garage links onto it) one by one to work on in comfort, you have given me the ammo to back up my plan!
We need more female members on here to keep us in check but also to give good reasoning for our actions..
Cheers ... Ash

There will always be a subtle difference between us girls keeping bikes and bits indoors and when you boys do it. I still hoover and dust around the bike, there is never any oil or grase on the floor, the tools are all put back in their boxes when not in use, there are never any oily rags left laying around, and they get a hotwash every now and then. But the main difference is that no one dare have a go at us about it, or there will be no dinner on the table and no clean clothes for a week!!!. I reckon us girls have got it made really :-* :-*
-
Don't have a problem. Got a motorcycle workshop, 4 bike lifts, MOT bay ect,ect. And still clean the house and cook dinner ;)
-
Well Trigger, you are the lucky one then :-* :-*
-
I would not call it luck nurse. I would call it years of hard work.
-
Im sure you have worked hard Trigger, not that iv'e sat on my ass doing sweet f.a. for the past 30 odd years either. Anyway, what brake fluid do i need to put back in this 400 ?
-
It should say on the cap SAE J1703 but, dot 3 or 4 is fine. Dot 4 has the higher heat point.

Distressing is your 550F2.
