#8 joins the fleet
« on: May 13, 2022, 06:44:28 AM »
Just bought this one sight unseen over the interweb.  From the picture I don't think it's 100% complete :-)
It's a Japanese market XZ400 14X

I wonder what wifey will say when she gets home?


The 400s are a fair bit more common here than the 550s.  47 of them still registered vs 29 550s

It looks like you may have to dip into the parts bin for a few things.

Even the longest journey begins with but a single step.  The paint on the frame doesn't look bad. (from here) 8)
Retired, on the downhill slide. . . . . . . . still feels like going uphill!
