Hi all after owning a 650k3 for a year and loving it I found it nessasary to trade for a 400k5 picked it up on Jan 18 05 and the weather has been cold and wet or cold and snowy so it has taken awhile to get to the 500 mile marke so that I could get it up to 6k rev. I have liked the way the 400 handled better than the 650 from day one but was worried about the power and the speed, or power at speed . It seems that all my fears are unfounded , not only that but it seem that it will make a great touring ride as well , With my needs and expectations It will bee just fine . Part of the reason that I like the 400 so well is that I have always liked smaller bikes anyway and should have gotten a 400 in the first place but I have had a ball with both of them I still love the 650 but like the 400 better. ride safe and enjoy Dewight
