I was out on the old 400C a couple of months back, 2 guys on Harleys were hogging the fast lane at 100 kph. I knocked down a gear and screamed through between the noise giving them both a fright as they couldn't hear this old oldthing approaching. My 14 year old nephew was on the back and still thinks it's the funniest experience he has had.

Must say I like the Texas Tornado, however it appears Yam have built a bike around Rossi. I hope they do the same for him and he doesn't play second fiddle to Rossi's style. They both ride differently and therefor need different machines.

An RD400C was my first bike, followed by a few Lc's and one YPVS. The only one that let me downwas the power valve, went through several CDI's. Still have the 400 which I recently finished restoring. My other bike is a Laverda 750S. Why ? Because it is different and handles well, and the sound of that twin ! I am looking to replace this as it isn't the type of bike you want to thrahs on a track every second weekend. Rode the R6 and loved it, but down here in South Africa every 2nd bike is an R6. Also for 500 pounds less I could get a GSXR 750. Tough decision.
