Wow...an FZR400. I havent seen one of those in a long time. I remember reading that those were fantastic handling bikes, but they didnt catch on too well here due to relative lack of power compared to the 600s. Id keep that thing...its a classic old-school repli-racer. It looks to be in great shape.
The RS will never be a good street bike. It's a 2 stroke, and has to be rebuilt every 1K miles or so. It makes NO power until you get high in the powerband.

This thing isn't even close to stock. I'm used to riding a 1liter (never have had a 600), and this thing is a handful at the track. It accellerates close to the 600s, just doesn't have quite the top end. But that doesn't matter on tracks like Tally.
I can't keep it and get the other bike that I want, so this one has to go. It needs nothing but a new throttle cable (old one is just old, but works well), and that goes on this week. What sucks is that I just replaced all of the little stuff (spark plugs, brake pads, etc) over the last 3 weeks - so I've spent a good bit on it lately. Everything is new.
