Well yours is only about 900 off the production line later than mine 😀. Production finished in late 1977 anyway , so both yours and mine are late 1977 manufactured. Mine is a August 78 reg on a T and a UK bike like yours.

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

Hi Dave My question was My bike is ruby red As a f2 model should it be Antares Red As the f2 I've seen seem to be either Antares Red or Parakeet Yellow My speedo also only in MPH Is yours a f2 if so it blows my theory out of the water Although Nurse Julie seems to agree Mine should be Antares Ross

The problem with 40+ year old bikes are things get damaged/ broken/ wear out. Unless they could afford new spares many people would buy secondhand from breakers etc. So an F1 Speedo and tank is not any big surprise it they have got damaged/Rusted out etc

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 🤔
