Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner to intermediate riders thanks to its modest power and light, manageable weight.
PurposeIt's best suited to relaxed commuting and light weekend rides rather than long-distance touring or performance riding.
Rider FitIts low weight and simple single-cylinder character make it easy to handle for riders of varying size and strength.
CharacterThe GN400 has a laid-back, honest single-cylinder thumper personality typical of early-80s simple, low-maintenance touring bikes.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders seeking high speed, off-road capability, or serious two-up long-distance touring comfort.
