This is the later run of the W 400, continuing the same 399 cc parallel twin with its retro W1-inspired styling, rounded cases, bevel-driven cam and peashooter silencers. The specification is unchanged from the 2006-07 version, so it is the same bike carried on in later years. It is listed here from 2008 onward.
