I imagine you could also use it to pull lampposts out of the ground along with tree stumps etc  :D

Bet that shakes the parts other thumpers cannot reach! seem to remember reading somewhere that 400cc for a single was the best compromise between power and smooth running ( possibly pre balancer shaft days).

I have to agree with you Steve, 400cc is a nice size for a single, way back I had a beezer B31, and was a fabulous ride, lately I've had several SRX4's and I find them smoother that the 6, maybe not the top speed and not quite the acceleration, but a lovely smooth ride, the engine seemed to rev a lot more freely
