Your 400 looks great Paul, as if you went back to the 70s in a time machine and stumped up £699 for a new one.

I wish ;) ;) ;) but don't tell the wife.
As the saying goes, when I die I hope my wife does not sell the bikes for how much I told her they cost me ;D ;D

Great looking bike Paul. Inflation tells me that £699 is now about £5400 if that makes you feel any better.
Regarding the stickers, I have the exhaust warning on my 500 and have been told that it was only fitted to USA and Canada models and that seems to stack up with a parts list. (A and CM area codes) Anyone remember?

So in real 'pre #@%$' terms motorcycle's are cheaper now for a given capacity then in 1976/77.
There's a 'genuine' 909 mile CB250RSA on ebay at the moment going for £4,695, they were about £799 new in 1980, that's real inflation!

As 400/4s original UK bikes are much more common than CB500s it's easier too look them out. Only found one or so (out of 25) claiming original paintwork (some with low mileages) that had the exhaust sticker. They are in a vulnerable position, but all my three US imports, with high mileages still had them.
I remember the do not modify was stamped into the exhaust of some of the bikes I had in the 80/90s.
