    Ya'll let me translate fer ya'll


    pocket Rocket = Rice Rocket

    Pocket Rocket =/= pocket bike

    Organ Donor = sport bike

    he is looking for a 400 cc sport bike from japan... not a pocket bike

    ie: NS400R Honda RZ400 Yamaha 400 Gamma Suzuki or something to the equivalent (now the fact the NS400r and Gamma were not street legal in the US but we got to play with them in Canada :) )

    These are "tiny" Japanese sports bikes that really do well in the corners. They are not street legal. I do believe they are for the most part, sold primarily in the Japanese market. There are not many around outside of Japan. Bikes such as the NC 29 Gull Arm, and CBR 250RR.etc...... I sat on a ZX-4R in Hong Kong years ago. - Flickable !!!!

    you can get them from moto liberty. don't have contact info handy however they can be found w/ a google search "moto liberty".

    these 400cc machines are very, very fun and are very cool looking. i have a friend that raced them in ccs events and knows all the right set up info.

    i am trying to convince my girlfriend to get an nc30 to replace her triumph daytona 955...it is too big and heavy for her!

    Not sure if I know what your talking about.

    I have a nice little RGV 250 (2 stroke and weighs nothing, looks pretty cool too!), which is a little pocket rocket. Apparently its quicker to 40mph than an R1.

    Ive had it off the road doing some repairs. It was thrown down the road at a hundred and a bit, so needed some new bits (the Aluminum swingarm and front sub-frame cracked/tore), it has heaps of gravel rash... needed a shifter etc.. usual bent bits (bars)...

    "Organ donor" is a good phrase for them. RGVs have now been officially banned for people on their learners licenses (because of their power to weight ratio) in Aust because so many young people were hurting/killing themselves on them.
