Not my cup of tea….looks like a dogs dinner to me and at that price…scarey :)

Not mine either, that looks really garish. Sometimes less is definitely more. I am sure the original Harrier was far more restrained.

I noticed that bike on ebay last year when I was looking for a Harrier.
The front fairing is a genuine Honda item and was an extra for the CB250RS (and I think the MB50/80's). They are as rare as hens teeth and are made of very thin plastic, they dont survive a drop hence now being rare!

I guess its subjective but it looks well tidy to me - not sure about the blue bits might have been nicer all in orange.
Methinks it needs Alans rear disc. upgrade.

A sad waste of a 400F in my opinion. And why was a Russian submarine chosen to fashion the instruments panel? Ugh.

Bit to bling for me
I like a modified bike but done in a subtle way.

Think even my rear disc conversion would get lost in the styling

Just proves that you can't buy taste.

Well I do like some bling and it hit's the spot for me even if I am in a minority of one - it looks like a customised race/road bike should.
I also like some Cafe reacers!

If you like that style of bike, it's got the right bits - it's just the colour scheme that spoils it ft me

It's horrible! Fairings didn't survive, no doubt, because they don't really flow with the 400/4 styling.

I agree, they look better on the CB250RS with the rectangle headlight. I searched for two years before I found an old battered one on ebay. Piki made the decals whilst Menno did the paint to match the rest of the bike.

If i'm being critical the front mudguard looks as though it's on upside down it aint going to keep much water off your feet barely a hugger.
Nice looking mirrors tethered inside against vibration.

I had one of those fairings on my cb125tdc back in 85
Happy memories and the bike I passed my part 2 on all those years ago
