So the RG400, great alternative exhilarating performance of the legendary gamma for half the price?? OR forget it, no substitute for the best 2 stroke EVER!! very disappointing after riding/caning the crap out of the 500?? I can't find any comparisons & I keep torturing myself watching youtube vids of them both but all the 400 riders are gay. They all pussy about when it comes to hitting the power band & only let it in in 2nd & then it appears to be mid throttle instead of nailing it. My mates 500 started as a 400 but I don't remember riding it as a 400. I can't afford either for a long time yet but next to my slabby the 500 is my dream bike #2. My NS400 was no substitute for the heavenly sound of them 4 cylinders burbling away.

I have funds in the bank but I will be castrated whilst I sleep if I was to spend a huge chunk on another bike. PS is doing a feature next month on the 400 so there'll be a sudden surge in buyers plus the 30yr anniversary is approaching which could make people want even more for them.

To convert the 400 to a 500 your looking at a grand plus for barrels if you can find them or you can buy liners from the states there's a bit more to it but its not a cheap conversion parts are like hens teeth also the 400 has different pipes by the time you add up the cost of all these bits your into rg500 money I saw one on gum tree last week crash damaged 5k bent frame no bodywork and it sold . I can't believe I tried to sell mine for £1500 10 yrs ago and no takers.
