Description
1977 Honda CB400 400/ 4 F2
Not often you come across an almost fifty year old motorcycle looking, running and riding as it was back in the day. Completely original and not messed with at all.
Not loads of words required in describing this bike, the pictures reflect the condition, having come from Florida this bike has never seen a salted road. Frame, forks, exhaust, seat all good. I have owned the bike for almost two years, now registered in the UK on age related plate.
No faded or damaged paintwork, other than the powder coated clutch and motor cover which are powder coated all cycle parts are original in finish, the inside of the tank is very clean. The original mirrors will come with the bike.
The tyres are OK, chain and sprockets are good, the bike is ready to ride for the spring without any work required.
Recently dealer serviced with the carbs being ultrasonically cleaned, fresh plugs, new battery and new RHS switchgear which cost almost GBP 700.
The bike starts easily, the motor is quiet (much quieter than the video suggests, which i think is normal) and responsive, the bike rides and handles well selecting all gears easily with no clutch slip or judder. No smoke, the oil light goes out within a second of pressing the start button.
Two keys for ignition, steering lock and seat lock which still has the original sprung lock dust cover. The original tool kit is still in its place along with the standard cover.
Mileage is low at 8000, not guaranteed but the condition supports the notion that it is correct. Would not take much to turn into a minter as everything is already there.
