I like this.

Ready for a bunch of cheap used 300s lol

Looks great! I'm loving these awesome small displacement bikes lately; although I keep hoping someone will ship a 400cc I4 to these shores, unlikely as it may be.

Yeah with all these very nice small displacement bikes there hasn't been a better time to get into motorcycle riding

I wish they'd ship a "cup" variant.
Also, start the countdown to Yamaha releasing an R4.

Ok, this is the one category that a cc/HP war makes no sense. STOP already. you're messing up the whole clubracing scene.

I wanna see the nekkid version.

Well the cbr500r is in the WSBK 300 class, and I am certain the new 400 will be homolgated for 2018 also.

Maybe club racing should adopt the same FIM homologation of "Euro A2" bike and includes (with amendments) the 500r and the new 400 in some way? 😉

This looks exciting, if the price is right. I've been considering a cheapie R3, Kawi 300 or RC390 if one came around for track only purposes after realizing a 1000cc v-twin has some limitations when starting out. But I'm sure the prices on those will be too enticing to want to buy one of these new!

I spoke to Wayne Rainey about this and they said it would be legal for their national 300 class. As such, we will likely follow suit.

I'm curious how this is going to be indexed into F300? Seems like a much more appropriate fit for 500SS to me.

Ah the Ninja 400. Clean as a whistle. Seems to be the most popular model. My favorite. Makes the Ninja 399 look like a Huffy bicycle.

80mph is 6k in 6th by this video, for highway commutering reference.
