I had one in the garage for a while. Super not impressed. I'd do the later 250 if I ever do one again.

I have a magazine that compare the RZV500. RG500 and the NS400R and it mention that the NS400R was by far the best handling of the three. The article also said that Americans will never be able to ride all three. I went out of my way to do my own comparison and prove the magazine wrong

Compared to RD350 and RD500 the NS400R was the better (race) bike in my opinion.
RG500 is the only one I have never tried.

You can't compare it to more modern bikes including later 250... Thats a different world.
My bikes:
RD500 YPVS 1GE
RD350 YPVS 31K 1985
Honda CBR 1000 RR SC57
Yamaha R1 RN04
