Nobody probably cares but here's my budget hardtail

Never gave an XS400 half a thought until I saw that picture, Jim.
They do appear occasionally on my local Craigs.
Don't remember what year mine was.... 75 maybe? Looked just like this one.....

The engines a 180° twin so vibes are completely different from ours. Made an excellent little in town commuter. If I ever found a good deal on one, I'd prolly snag it.
 
Those 400's look like great "starter" bikes. The "Rebel" was always the first choice. It just seems a little anemic for a larger rider, whereas the 400 looks a little beefier.... :twocents:
 
Still in the garage lads, recently fitted up some Mikuni Vm34's found decent low idle but taking off 1/4 throttle it just falls on it's face and bogs lower the needle?
