Vento Cafe 400GT

Porkchop · 01-29-2010, 10:07 PM

Chinese/Austrailian built. 392cc, 3 cylinder, 36 hp engine. List price of $3750 or less...

So less expensive and more powerful than a Ninja 250r.... would you rock it???

Looks cool! whats the cyl arrangement? Looks like a Moto Guzzi. Any weight figures?

I love how they call it Vento so you think its Italian

Homeslice · 01-29-2010, 10:56 PM

Looks damn awesome.

Hope it's lightweight though.

I'd rock it but I'm not a fan of that type of engine and the cylinders sticking out to the sides.

BobTheBiker · 01-29-2010, 11:14 PM

it looks like it'd be a decent performer, being a 3 cyl I can only imagine the cylinders set up in a W configuration of sorts.

it doesnt look very sporty though. dont expect it to outperform any ninja.

W you say? I have always wanted a radial. Suppose half a radial would be a start. No wouldnt out handle the Baby Ninja, 'specially on spokes but it does look fun!

You're pic be photochopped or a different version. (I like your pic better)

looks like Moto Guzzi and Buell had a red headed step child

If it looked like the first pic, I'll put my deposit in now.

I doubt it though. Kinda tough to have a longitudinal engine AND a chain drive.

The rangerscott's pic is more likely. It is an inline triple and the engine looks decidedly Chinese (read:cheap).

It's still a good looking bike, but I'll stick with Triumph for my modern day triples.

P.S. Where is the tail light?
