    I still don't understand putting digital gauges on modern classics. We like modern classics because they are newer and more reliable but mostly because of the way they look. A digital gauge ruins the vibe of modern classics.

    My father served in the British Army and he was CO of the Royal Signals motorcycle display team 'White Helmets' in the mid 1970s. They used Triumph Tiger 750s as their main rides and they also had two Triumph Adventurers / Trophy Trials for the jump tricks. I remember the brutal sound that those bikes used to make when I would sometimes watch them practicing displays in Catterick as a young child.

My bike is completely standard, so i wasn't chasing bhp or torque, although I got more of both in the mid range. It's now a dream to ride. No snatch from the throttle. Yamaha should have done this from the factory.. just ashame they are restricted by silly emission restrictions. Amazing difference.👍

    I owned the 550 super sport which I think was made in the same year ( I bought it from a car yard back in the 80s for Aust. $550). It was a much better bike then the old K2 750 I owned and if the 400 is anything like the 550 was it must be a great bike. I haven't upgraded the age of the bikes I own by much. I now own an 82 VF 750 Magna.

      I had a 550 for years, a 400 for the last 10 and many miles all over UK / Europe on both of them. I prefer the 550 on the road as the 400 is a lot more 'buzzy', but in some ways that's its charm. Both are better than the F2 750 I had for a while.

    20:10 - perception was that back then the Japanese were making their frames out of what amounts to water or gas pipe. I had a 750 F1 back in the late 80's and although the geometry felt absolutely fine, if you hit a camber change, raised/thick white lines, a surface change, whatever, at any kind of speed in a fast sweeper it would quite often go into a what I can only describe as a 'corkscrewing' wobble which I was in no doubt was the frame flexing. Which of course is why the likes of Rickman made frames for them which were little different in construction/geometry but of rather better tube.
