I gots no idea, I just saw the ad and forwarded it along to show another
example of an e-start XR400.

Maybe it's one of those new Fram Air Hogs?

It exists in Brasil... They call it "Falcon" and it is a dual sport..
erh... it's is a road bike. I think that the cam is different (less
power) and the carb is way more restrictive (bike is stealth silent,
the hole in the exhaust is about the size of a 10 cent coin), but the
engine and frame are exactly the same.

The battery is in the "other side" of the airbox. The e-start engine
is behind the cylinder, in the pic you can't see it because the
exhaust pipe is in front of it. This bike is not off road worthy,
because it is *heavy* and have almost *no* suspension...

Where does the air-filter go...? Don't tell me it's a clamp-on
sock-type filter...or a K&N...

A friend who re-located the battery of his XR650L to the airbox had
poor engine results with a sock-type clamp-on after one dirtride...
If I recall, maybe there is enough room in the XR400's airbox, but
wouldn't it affect airflow and all that crap?

Hey, don't say those kinds of things about my piggie! Oh, sorry, just
assumed you were talking about an XR650L

That's not a bad looking street bike. Hopped-up, it would probably run
pretty good with "regular" XR400 parts.

I guess I just like the Supermotard look on an XR400:

Looks much sweeter with the low fender, in my hopelessly warped opinion.
