General Comments

I just picked up V400 today and have been out for a couple of hours to get used to it. At first things felt very strange as I had been riding a maxi scooter and had much more leg room. After a while I got used the riding position which almost forces you in to a more race like posture.

The bike itself is ridiculous with the 400cc engine sat inside a almost moped size frame. The noise of the engine turned a few heads. You can imagine people were thinking did i just see a moped fly by with that big engine sound.

The acceleration is phenomenal and had me screaming to myself like I was on a very scary roller coaster.

Once you get used to the power/weight ratio you start to really enjoy yourself.

This feels and is a very very fast scooter. The exhaust makes a very nice popping sounds as mentioned in the other review.

The only down size is that I imagine a long journey would start to feel uncomfortable in the non relaxed position and maybe the indicators could have been included in the main body rather than the pokey eyes that stick out.

All in all this bike is a real head turner. Just be careful like I think I am going to have to be.
