I love the sounds of a 4-4 ...... buit on a 400/4 ...... it just looks WRONG.

The swoopy headers and 4-1 are kind of the unique 'look' that makes the bike what it is for me, and nothing else looks right.

It was also the €1800 that put me off, as well as them just not being 'right'

I thought it was a750 at first glance! No, the 4 into one with the wavy headers to avoid the classic external filter are too important to the styling of a CB400F !

I like it. But there again I have also always liked the NC36 400 superfour.
