This '90 SR400 reminds me of the car I learned to drive on, a brand new '72 BMW 2002. You simply have to push it and yourself to the limit. I'm thinking about going to Microshift brifters but don't really want to spoil the classic look. It's 100% stock except for the seat. The tires are Continental Grand Prix Classics. I'm surrounded by 10 to 13 degree hills and this thing just eats them up. I love this bike.
