Description
Please note: This bike runs on the bottle and as such this is a running video on the bench.
The US received the GB500, which is arguably more popular now then when it was available in dealerships. The 400 is a very rare find in the US. One advantage to the little brother was a decrease in vibration from the single cylinder motor. If your riding preferences don’t involve outright speed, its an interesting option.
The whole package weighed between 330-346 lbs dry (depending on the year) and the one-lunger put out approximately 34 hp at 7,5000 rpm and 25.5 ft-lbs of torque at 6,000 rpm. For more on the little GB, check out this article on Yew Emm Gee here.
