Yamaha brings back the SR400, how cool is that!

I saw that & thought 'wow, I could buy that.' But this bike is not coming to Canada :-(

I wanted a Kawasaki W650 but it was a short lived run of bikes and used they are over priced. I did go look at the Triumph T100 about a month ago, that may be the one for me.
Mother likes the Yamaha and was on the fence with a HD street 500/750. All I said was "you have to kick that" and she didn't care, she kicks almost everything she owns.

I dig the Honda and we are restoring a 1972 CB175 right now, well she is.

i wouldnt mind if they started bringing these back to the states...comfy! torquey! great retro looks! fully adjustable suspension to boot..these things have sweeeet torque curves

rear drum brake frustrates me to no end. There is no reason a "new" bike should have drums!

im glad the sr400 is at least priced at what it should be..

I think it's at least $1k too high still.

It's a 400 single. What it would suit best is the beginner bike market, the short commute market, and the nostalgia market. The Suzuki 250 offering is $1600 less, their 650 single cruiser is $300 less. The DR650 is only $500 more. The Honda CB500F is $200 less. KLR650 $500 more. Ninja 300 $1k less.

Make a crate bike road racer, with upgraded brakes, a solo set, better suspension, less electrics, clip ons, etc and sell it for $7-8k, but yeah...I couldn't see paying nearly the same I paid for my Strada for that bike.

Just thinking they could do better on the price, as they're not putting any extra effort into it.

youre probably right, its pretty low tech. was probably just a matter of busting out some old tooling. or sometimes this stuff is still made in 3rd world countries. i know mama kaw did this with some of their 2 stroke road bikes

It should definitely have a disc in the back....nostalgia or not.

Oh and they could have at the very least got it in the 35hp range.... 27 horsepower? What the crap is that in a 400lbs bike!

Honda has to be killing it with their crf250l. 300lbs touch over 20hp dual sport.

I thought they had that bike over seas so it would not be a retool deal. I would rather it be a sr500 and I wonder if the top end fitts or can be punched out,

Its going need one of these, I have it on the tt500 short tracker and it sounds great.
