    isn't that actually a 250R frame? 400ex has round tubing while the 250R had box.

    There's an easy way to get that pic, set the rear end up on something very stable and wind it out in top gear!

    He either did what Hemi said or he just turned the key on and snapped a quick pic...Because in the pic w/ the tach and speedo, all the indicator lights are on including the oil light. Also on some machines, the tach goes all the way up and back down as on newer Yamaha motorcycles. And one more thing.... the handlebars are turned so he couldn't possibly be riding it.
