Not at that price! Very difficult to know what to do with a bike with no miles basically. You take it on the road and put some miles on it you knock the value off it. Although it’s only a 4 mile unregistered bike it is obvious it’s not always been stored in someone’s living room.

Or you can buy mine for £6k and save yourself £9,500k ;D
Restored in 1991 and less than 7,000 miles since. All genuine Honda parts used including correct script type DID wheel rims and spokes and NOS rear shock absorbers and front and rear mudguards. NOS fuel tank & side panels painted by Honda Japan. All parts purchased from DSS. I have a file full of parts and services receipts.
The bike was featured in the very first issue of the short lived
 Japanese Classics Magazine.
Genuine reason for selling......I restored the original Flying Banana last year and one of the two yellow 400/4’s has to go and it's this one 😭.
It is not a matching numbers bike, they never were but I had to get another s/h frame as part of the restoration as the original frame was written off by the insurance company (the bike had stolen/recovered and I bought the wreck)
Send me a PM if interested 👍.

Before it went fully computerised car dealers were issued with a manufacturers document I think it was a V55/1. It was a self carbonated form used to register the vehicle, where I worked the town Hall in BoT gave you a small  ticket bearing an issued registration number, it was stapled to the V55/1. Seller could be refering to that document. It very similar in appearance to a V55/5. If it's unregistered it would be registered as new today, the document contains the date of manufacture, iirc it's coded as monthl & year.
