YB7 1989, FZR400 engine. Currently I've only covered about 15miles on it as I've recently bought it.
5.5k on the lock.

Yeah, about two weeks ago ;) I followed the thread on here, and other forums about it. Then I joined this forum as I'd been visiting it for a while and I'd now got two 400's.

It wasn't the original plan. I've owned the YB4 from new and through the years owned quite a few 750's, 350YPVS, ZXR400, etc. For the last 8ish years I've only had the YB4, which is in original condition, and I wanted a bike to tweek, swap parts, do plenty of miles on, etc. I ended up buying the 2TK last year but decided to restore rather than mod!

I think to myself, right lets look for a bike to mod. Very cheap and it doesn't have to even be a runner. What did I buy? Another friggin' bike that'll stay factory. :?

At least I can spread the miles over three bike now and not worry about it. I did quite a few miles on the 2TK at the end of the year. Great smiles per mile.

I love the YB4. Fuel injection with the FZ750 engine. Great throttle response and plenty of power for me (probably a bit more than I need) with a great sound. The YB7 I'm still to find out, it's a lot smoother ride than the other Bim. They both feel really 'planted'. The YB7 has a sweet induction noise from the air intake, it sounds completely different to the 2TK, although the 2TK has the micron on. (Which may have a trial fit on the YB7 ;) ) Both Bims are surprisingly comfy when you get them rolling.

When I saw the colour scheme on the YB7, that was the tipping point for the purchase.
