Here's my 1999 Factory Rinaldi Yamaha inspired YZF400, similar to what Andrea Bartolini won the 1999 500 world Motocross championship on. These bikes don't get the recognition that they deserve as they're a great bike to ride & a pleasure to build. 

Hope you like it.

Very nice!  I had one and  it was a great bike, albeit a bit hard to start and yes pretty heavy.  But by those bikes were tanks, I saw mine around town for at least a decade, still running strong.

Looks sharp!  I wonder how these compare to a modern 350.

Replying to erik_94COBRA : Heavy. That's the main thing. I don't mean Any malice with that point, by the way. Lovely Build, I have to say. The (Japanese) beginning of the 4 stroke revolution.

What a weapon. Well done on a build!

We own a lot to those brave and smart guys who developed those early four strokes. Thanks for keeping one of those running and looking great.

Awesome bike!  My dad had a 400 then a 426.  That’s when the 4 stroke era really began!  Super trick bike when it came out and everyone just drooled over it in the pits.  You did an amazing job my guy!
