I keep thinking this would be a fun little bike to have. My days of riding fast on the road are over and I just want a little bike to go for ice cream with the wife. Too bad the Euro version looks way cooler.... US version Euro version
A good bike but a little too pricey here in France ( € 6,000 ) . They will stop selling them after they sell the few bikes left ( e4 pollution regulation, overpriced...). Oh, and it is also the end of the xjr 1300 here.
About the equivalent of Euro 5400 here in US. I've had Triumph Speed Triple, Kawi ZRX1100 and other big bikes... no need for tarmac speed anymore and don't want a Harley.
Yes! I might go modern Yamaha metallic blue. I had a XS650 Street Tracker I built and painted tank and seat pan that way. Used white "Speed Blocks" from a Zuma scooter on it. Sweet bike, should have never sold it! I like the black rims and upgraded tires on the Euro version too....
If I were you I'd keep my eye out for a Yamaha SRX 600, only imported one year ('86) in the states so can be tough to come by but they are around. A very clean one will be less than a new SR400 by a decent chunk and more fun at legal speeds by a decent chunk.
