Hello Ross, unless you know the person who originally bought the bike you will never be 100% sure of the original colour. I would say given you have a mph speedo red is original. I may be wrong on the speedo but I’m sure I’m not 8).......cheers Dave
Nurse Julie:
Dave....is your VIN number starting CB400F2 ******
Nurse Julie:
Ross, if your VIN number is CB400F2******* , which you have already said, it is definitely an F2 which the red is Candy Antares.

Hello, what other than the 78 reg makes you think the the bike should be other than the red? I think a lot of bikes sat around in boxes waiting to be sold. All of the candy and yellow new bikes I seen in shops had a speedo with mph and a green inner kph gauge fitted. I have 77 S plate in blue came with only a mph speedo....cheers Dave

Interesting. I have never, ever seen an original UK CB400/4 with anything other than MPH and KMH clocks fitted. I have seen USA imports with only MPH clocks fitted though. I can't recall seeing a Varnish blue S reg in the UK either. Maybe i just haven't noticed though 🤔

My Blue bike now has a Speedo face of a yellow bike that came Canada. I always liked the idea of having both after a trip to the south of France with only mph....cheers Dave
