I used a friends CB250N once, I took it back to him after a 10 mile ride and said "it's not running right mate", he took it up the road and came back saying "it's fine", only then did I realise that it's immense sluggishness (it comparison to the GT250 I had at the time)was a design feature 😄

Had a 400 superdream taken out to 436,  Moriwaki cam etc. That ran ok.....
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Never ridden one but have been told that the 400 even as standard was a great bike.

Actually raced it at Darley Moor in the open class up to 1300cc? Got 2 thirds too. Besides lack of fear on my part at that age, it was comparable to a prody tuned 350YPVS in a straight line - so not slow. Often wondered if you can still get the Moriwaki bits but even on the internet I can see no reference. For some reason, I remember I dealt with a place in Hazelmere, which surprises me as I seem to struggle to recall my last sentence sometimes!! ;D
