An absolute peach, somehow I just prefer them in blue and I might just turn my red one blue. Anybody spot the stand lifting handle, one on each side maybe and great for shifting the bike about in the garage.

That handle is interesting as i only have one fitted to the near side. I'm not sure if they are meant to have one or 2 on the 400/4. It wouldn't make any difference if i had 2, i would still struggle to get it on the center stand 😭😭😭
