I've just done a paint job on a brand new Mash 400. I rode it back to the owner and thought it was brilliant, punchy, character, fairly refined ..... and this one had one of my retro paint jobs on it!! (thumbs)

Well they told me XBR500 at a show the other day.
Japan had a 400 version (like the Yam SR400 we just got back).
XBR was kick and electric, XR kick only but both from the same RFVC block, afaik.
And XBR5 made a useful 43hp.

Nice paintjob - like my old T140V

Just a quick update on the bike. Still loving it and riding it more than I expected to be honest. The finish is still ok and the engine is freeing up nicely. Did some gentle lanes on her over the weekend. Pics below.

Have to say that does look very nice, seriously considering one as replacement for my Enfield as I would imagine a bit more pokey on the road. What's the weight/power/torque of your bike?

Really does look dead cute. As Trev says, very Enfield Trials like and probably more..... modern too? I like the simple, uncluttered clock and top yoke area especially. Pop a little flyscreen, some softy panniers and you have a mini-ADV tool. (thumbs)

A snippet from the magazine review. If you are near Chesterfield you are free to try her.

I stumbled across the Frances Barnett the other day, a Herald 125cc with a 21" front wheel and an 18" rear and a very nice looking thing it is, but at £3500!! maybe not.
