Yamaha XS400


 In the town where I grew up, the Yamaha dealer sold about a zillion of these things, it was a starter bike for a whole generation. A perfectly good bike with power enough, but overshadowed by the RD 350 and 400. The engine, based on the XS250, was hugely oversquare at 69 x 52.4 but redline was 9500, same as the other 400s of the day.
