I wouldn't order the Genuine 400 without a chance to ride it first. After they have been available for a year or so, I may accept good reviews in lieu of a test ride.

Hi
I have one of these, well, a Mash branded one, which I've had since July 2015. I love it, I out a few notes down here on this thread http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...533#post202533 The weather in the UK hasn't been particularly condusive to taking a nice loking bike out, but, I do ride it whenever I get the chance, my V-Raptor is the sacrifice to the bad weather !! |

Thanks for linking to your post. It's nice to have a hands-on review from someone who owns the bike.
My wife has a TU250x and loves it. I love its light weight, but to me it feels physically/ergonomically too small when I ride it. I'm 5 ft 10 with a 30 inch inseam. Does your Mash Roadstar feel like a small bike to you?

Hi
No, it doesn't feel too small, feels just about right, whereas the CF650, is a little high really, as I'm on tip toes when the bike is upright, and I'm 5'7", but I don't know how it compares in size & handling to the TU250. Sorry, not so sure that was much help ?? |

I like the look of that bike! I'll have to start saving and try to find a shop near me that will stock these!

Agreed. I don't want a high-strung LC motor for DS riding. I'd much rather have a variant of the old XR400.

To get a better handle on the size between the TU and the G400C, I went to http://cycle-ergo.com. They have a model of the Honda CB400SS, that the G400C is based on, so I loaded up that and the TU250X to compare.
The CB400SS is slightly bigger than the TU and looks like it would fit me a little better. If the G400C really is like the CB, it looks like a good fit for me.

Are you ready to 'take the plunge,' and place a deposit for the bike?

If I had the money, I know I would!

I'm still debating whether to get this or a used Yamaha FZ-07. I'm going to sell my Vstrom 650 and I'm just trying to decide if I want to replace it with something retro or modern (and fast). I'm actually leaning toward the FZ-07 this week, but I go back and forth all the time.

I need to see it on the showroom floor before placing a deposit. This is new territory for Genuine.

That's unfortunate.
Thanks for posting the update.

I hope the Genuine 400 goes on sale before the Elio trike, for cryin' out loud!

I messaged Genuine on their facebook page for news on the G400C and got this response.
FRI 9:55PM What is the latest news on the G400C motorcycle? I was excited about it last fall, but haven't heard anything since. MON 9:07AM It is coming soon! We anticipate delivery in August or September.
