excellent riding! that was super intense to watch, it must have been thrilling for you to be chasing and being chased. I have CB400 but would exchange with VFR400 in a heartbeat. Dream bike right there
Great video, looks like the Duke suits that track, the straight is just the right length for it and some nice corners to keep it interesting, great lean angle and very smooth riding, well done and enjoy.
Damn... I love how u ride... But i must ask u a question... What do u use for thr management...? Im going to install bazzaz on my duke 690, can i have some tips from ya...? And what does ur top speed..? Cheers mate..!
Hi Khairul. Thanks for watch video and leave comment. I use "RAPiD BIKE EVO" for the management of the fuel injector. Sorry, I don't have knowledge about "BAZZAZ". Also My DUKE is removed a catalyser. In the engine revolution area 4000-6500 rpm, I was adjusted to rich, and the up to 7000 rpm, adjusted to lean. Top speed was 197km/h in the spotrs land SUGO. There is no top speed advantage with the stock, but an accelerating force improves. Decat pipe(or Acrapovic exhaust System) and KTM power-parts Hi-lift camshaft is intended to raise torque. Ride safe mate;)
CBR400 is I4 cam drive, CB400SF is a I4 motor with chain drive. NC23 CBR400 engine is the base for the CB400 engine, Smaller cams and lower compression plus chain drive is the CB400 engine.
hi a few questions ,1 where is the track,cause its a great road course,i was looking at any vids concerning the cb400 4 as i love the smaller bikes, i rode a rvf 400 in the mid 80,s and thought that this was the bike to have would pull from 5/6 k and to the red line , i would buy a vfr but they were never imported in the us so that is why i am looking at the cb400 super four, in the 70,s i had a 400/4 supersport that was a great little bike too i still have a 92 vfr750 and will never sell it as there is something about the v fours .
Hi Alan. It is a "Sports land SUGO" The name of this track. WSBK had been held on this track in the past. By the way, preference of your bike is interesting. I think very pleased that you love the bike that was made in Japan. It is regrettable not import of new "CB400 Super Four" in the United States. :( I hope you enjoy the VFR. Ride safe ;)
67hp from a single cylinder, Jesus!! Im not into the 4 cylinder sportbikes because they are TOOO fast for the street and too race oriented. This single is plenty fast and im sure it handles 5x better than a 4 cylinder bike, especially at low speeds.
Hi there, like the video! Just wondering, how hot does the bike run off the track normally? Am having some overheating problems with mine, within 15 mins it's max temp.. thanks! Ed
I am no VFR400 expert but, does your radiator get warm? If not then check thermostat isn't stuck shut, other option might be that the water pump isn't pumping. HTH
Nice bike for the most, the track is ready made for the bikes power band, not to long with enough turns to show it's capabilities. plus the rider does a real good job on it. Also the leovince set up is work just fine. The only downside about the bike is the gauges, they look like something off a hyosung, or some china made bike. Thats my 2 cents, on a bike I like. yl
Thanks yl. Tsukuba is nearest circuit from Tokyo. Many grand-prix champion rider grew up from this course. By the way,there is no chance to see Hyosung almost in Japan,but I do not feel the sense of quality to this meter too. :( So, I have not seen almost while running. lol However, this bike is not bored me. I'm going to improve riding-skill further. :)
TheLeeRiders Yes indeed, it looks like a lot of fun, especially when you have a great bike to ride, and the rider in the video had that. That bike would be much better than my SV650n, for the areas I like to ride in the mountains, I live around 160 miles from "the dragon" or rout 129, from TN and NC ect, with the bikes lightweight & great torque curve, it would be a blast, even for a non racer..lol I was thinking of looking up the track local, but you told me first. Thanks and keep safe. yl
hi, i am a new owner of ktm duke 690 r 2013, i was thinking if im changing my exhaust pipe same as yours. leovince 7080 decat pipe with slip on akrapovic but without rapidbike evo injection controller, does it affect my ktm performance? am i getting the same sound as yours?
Hi! I must be to correct the description first. Number of pipe is 8070. (Not 7080) I purchased it from the MOTO.GB (leovince.co.uk/). When not using the RapidBike controller, i felt acceleration is inferior. Also, sound is feel the raspy impression and treble somewhat.
