since it only has 6 miles on it and wont get any more until spring most likely just a few things. first this is my wifes bike so to me it doesnt matter as much. it turns on a dime to the point if you turned to fast in a corner w/out paying attention a roll over would not be out of the question. the rear suspenion is WAY to stiff and feels more like a mon shock ride. will have to maybe alter that this spring. every thing looks like the same as the 300 hawkeye's ive looked at. the battery is in a crappy place and cant get to it alhough there is a battery tender cord thats in the front storage compartment.(guesing since i havent read the whole book yet). as far as power goes since i didnt drive a 300(only my wife did) she says its 10 times better in the power. it does take off better/quicker then the 450 didafter all its 117 lbs lighter) and i can even but a knee on back and pull the wheels into a nice little wheelie. oh and i had it doing 49 mph(ssshhh dont tell her) so its not too bad w/ only 6 miles on it. wish it had cv boot protecters on it(going to try to convert my stickstoppers i still have) to proect them and A arms as there wide open and dont like that side panels the way they come off. the air intake is at about seat height so no more over the seat trips in the water for that one. lol.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

na i sold that almost 2 months ago to a 70 year old guy who hauls 150 miles just to ride it maybe 4 times a year. it'll make him a good bike w/ only 520 miles on it. this 400 has the extact same engine which im happy w/ the power for her so it will hopefully keep up some what.
