Now that is a beautiful machine. I'll show my advanced age and reminisce that I first clapped eyes on my first Honda 400 Four around 1970 ish at a Motorbike Show at Belle Vue, Manchester, and I can still remember the curve of those beautiful exhaust down pipes, the Gold Lining on the Tank and that lovely deep dark red paint.....like it was yesterday.

Nearly as stunning as Sophia Loren....steady.......I said nearly !

Welcome to the sohc Forum.........some lovely people and so helpful.

Enjoy your bike....and the Forum.

  Oh dear, a bit of the old dementia creeping in there, would have been 74 at the earliest!

Nah, in 74(at the earliest)  the F2 wasn't around.

He didn't specify F2, he said first time he saw a 400/4! And no way would it have been 1970!

The F1 (or just F model) doesn't have gold lining on the tank so I deduced MCTID was referring to the F2.

Blimey....the 'Thought Police' were down on me like a ton of bricks there ! Some of you peeps would be great working on the TV Detector Vans !

I only said '1970 ish' cos I honestly couldn't remember the exact year.......at my ripe old age, just getting the right decade is a Brucey Bonus ! I hope that you lot are a tad kinder to your Mums and Dads when you visit them in their Care Home !

I also remember a Guy who worked in the same factory coming into work one night on his brand new Honda CB750......I do know the year - but I'm buggered if I'm going to write it down - just in case another swarm of angry bees descend on my poor head. That was also another beautiful machine.......Honda had a lot to be proud about in those days (whenever they were).

Not to be outdone...........I'll leave you with this thought......'Have you chipped in your Tenner Donation to the Forum this month ? - I have'......so there ner.
