Whilst trying to decide were I go next with the 400/4,full engine rebuild or get rid,I decided to take a trip to the local Honda dealership and have a wee afternoon to myself.
Cut a long story short,the CB just felt so right.it took me back to 78 when I 1st bought my 400/4.whipped out the card and the deposit was taken in a flash.Due to the backlog I don’t have a delivery date but I’m looking forward to collecting a Pearl Smokey grey bike before the summer is over.Happy days ahead.:-)

The exhaust headers on those mimic the 400/4👍.

They are nice looking machines..... but the first thing I would do is fit a tail tidy!
When the designers draw up the concept images, they like to have short, kicked up tail ends. Makes the bike look aggressive and purposeful, but when it comes to making htem comply with legislation....you end up with a wierd looking rear mudguard abd the lights/numberplate stuck out on a stick hanging in space.
You can see the lines the designer intended...and you can see what they did to comply.

i've read a few reviews on the above bike and none of them seem to reference the 400-4. obviously most of the bike journos these days are too young to remember them
