Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy an SX400 in Germany, and I've narrowed it down to these two:
https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/yamaha-xs-400-2a2/2051762517-305-2866
https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/yamaha-xs-400-se/2062647342-305-5012

Can anyone explain what are the differences between these two models and which would in your opinion be the preferable buy?

Thanks

Upon further investigation, I think I figured out that the black one is XS 400 2A2 and the blue on is XS 400 4G5 (SE)
What are the differences between the two models?
 
Most differences are in styling - different seats and grab bars. The only practical difference is the rear wheel - black one has an 18 inch one, and blue one has a 16 inch one. There are also some minor differences in carburetors, but it really doesn't matter. It's just stuff done to optimise manufacturing. Otherwise - same engine and more or less same everything else.

The blue one seems to have been modified. Handlebars, seat, turn signals, mirrors - those are all not factory. Also, they didn't have drilled brake rotors, so that's either modified or replaced.
