Red 400/4 (now black?), NDP 85R
« on: December 14, 2023, 11:38:56 AM »
Hi all, on my avatar, my original 400/4, (on my other thread, was a Jock Kerr 250/4 for a while until I passed my test). I then rode it as a 400 for a year, and sold it after painting it black. Years later, late '90s I think, I saw it at a local pub, now red again, but with Comstar wheels. I've just checked on Direct.Gov and saw the latest logbook was issued in January this year! Though still listed as black. So, she's still out there, anyone on here?
Cheers, Tony.

Ha ha Jock Kerr eh .. always wondered what those 250cc conversions were like. Didn't he blank a piston off on a Superdream or  something to get around the learner laws. Quite a colourful character by all accounts.

It's the same with my very 1st CB400F XDN 128R .. on SORN but Lord knows where and it was Varnish Blue originally but showing as colour red now.

A better picture, (ie I'm not in it!).
