looking to build a motard
i would like to build a urban assault bike, inexpensive, 400cc (cheap insurance) liquid cooled, and do no want to spend a whole pile
i have never riden' a motard, so i am not sure what to expect, but i think it must be more fun that running a 1 litre in the city
any ideas on what to look for?
thanks

I'd do a Honda XR-400R... they can be had everywhere,
4 stroke, great wheelie machine, easy to make street legal.
And they aren't too expensive... just add street tires.
If you want the cool look, change the front 21" to a 17"
