Hey all, I just saw a Suzuki GN400 on my local classified site. I don't know anything about this bike, any SR owners ridden one? it looks almost identical to the SR, were the competitors? In other news, I went on my longest SR ride yesterday, it was simply tops! I took a windey canyon road that was closed for the winter but accessible to bikes, me+slightly gravely twisties+ only one other bike in sight for 25 miles= heaven! Then I got pulled over on the freeway for merging w/o signaling and having an invisible license plate ( with 120/90's on the back it has to be near horizontal to avoid biting into the wheel over bumps, to the officers it looks like this: -----). Amazing day, I discovered my bike gets tired after chugging along at freeway speeds after a while Fun fun fun, Davey

Hi, We didn't get those bikes over here in Aus...first time I've seen one. We have the GN250...which is a similar type of thing. Like the early 'chopper' stylled SR250's. [http://www.suzukicycles.org/photos/GN/GN400/1980_GN400_silver_720.jpg/img] There is a bike called the Tempter in Japan which is a 400 single...wouldn't mind having the wheels off one of those... Fun to ride the SR...We'll be going on a trip of about 200k's or a bit more tomorrow and back on Sunday...I am really looking forward to it. SR

I remember GN400 coming after the SP370 and then the SP400 trail bikes which had the same basic engine as the GN400. I think that they were known for gearbox problems and in the UK were even less popular than the SR500.
