can some one help me with the pro's and cons of two 400's?
what is the average top end and 0 - 60 plus whats the handling/road holding like and breaking?

the two bikes are the
1992 HONDA CBR 400 RR NC29
and the
1991 KAWASAKI ZXR 400.
and to end. which is the better bike overall?

hummmm.... now looking at the RVF400 i might be getting that instead of a zxr400. one other thing is other than an air filter change, new exhaust system, and a rebore what other things can you do to tune the engine in a bike? i've heard of a revo tune but what does that mean? is it like a ecu tuning on a car?

tbh i wanted a smallish bike which had a nice amount of power. i've seen a zx6r an it looks a bit wide for my liking. i didnt want a hugely powerful bike just something to get around on and mabey do the odd track day on it. plus i am still in the process of getting my test, just doing my reserch before hand so on the day i pass (hopefully first time) i will be able to go out an get the bike i want

the reason i was trying to keep with the 400 is because i have been reading quite a lot of articals on the net an the general consensus is that the rvf 400 handle better than bigger bikes an can carry more speed round corners. thats why i was trying to find out if you can get more power out of a bike other then air filter exaust and rebore.
