Im not sure if you have ridden the bike, but stock its really not as bad as people say - even more so if you are planning to ride tight twisty type roads with it. I own one and I'm very happy with it stock, but I am planning to do a number of mods which people say really open it up. If you are planning for only track use then Id say its not the best choice out there.
The major pros to the 400SM in my opinion are
1. Cheap to purchase AND cheap to own
2. Low maintenence costs compared to most of the other motard platforms.
3. Tons of aftermarket support - I mean tons.
check out the DRZ forum on thumpertalk and you can find some great info if you want more.
