So me and Rtech exchanged our machines for 12 hours. He took my Vtec and I rode his Kwacker. Smart deal I'd say - The Vtec redlines at 7100 rpm, and the Kawasaki starts life at 10,000 rpm

Oh Boy! What an exhilirating experience. I have never ever felt such a close and passionate combination of man and machine ever before. The 400 fits below you as if it were an extended body part - Its literally a hand in glove. I didnt tell Rtech this but I was riding a bike after like 5 - 7 years and was myself apprehensive about being able to handle it. No worries mate, I took to it like a fish does to water. The perfect gearshifts, braking points and acceleration. I was surprised myself and just patted myself on the back for having a "thing" for high revving machines.

In about 3 hours of riding, I covered close to 80 kms and all within the city. And all high-revving (I dont think I ever saw 4th gear). The way that a sports motorcycle handles is the stuff that dreams are made for. The wind in your face @ 15000 rpm while experiencing a depth of fine engineering that can only make you awe. Honestly, I wouldnt ever compare this experience to driving a fast car, but they are both mean in their own right.

HIGHLY recommended to each and every car guy on this board.

Thanks Rtech! You have made my bike budgeting that much more difficult. Over to Robin for his Vtec'ing experience.
