Never ridden a 400, but i've ridden a 50, 125, and 250 NSR and they were all a blast...good luck finding ANY honda NSR that is street legal for a reasonable price in the US though. I cam REALLY close to buying a 125 with the Pro-arm off ebay a while ago...but it was just too much money.

I love two strokes though, so i'm biased.  ;D

My partner in crime Bill Benton Bellcow54 has one, I had the MVX250F, a V3 two stroke 250, both are vicious wicked bikes but, I'd take a guess and say that my RS175 would have them both. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i'm not a fan of the crotch rocket style but these 80's NSRs are perdy... or maybe its just when a cute blonde is on one
