Honda CB400NA (2 cylinder) road test in old Magazine.

(1/4) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I was quite surprised to read a road test of the 400N reprinted in 2003 claiming a top speed of 105 mph, that's probably faster than a yellow 400/4.
Best one way speed was 110.2 mph, normally seated at 88.55 mph, despite this it's described as lackluster.

Bryanj:
They were quite quick and smooth with the balance shafts

Laverda Dave:
They were always tested as being faster than a 400/4 Ted (but never tested against a yellow one obviously.....).

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I'm guessing that's why they never built the Superdream in yellow, Honda wanted to preserve the image of the yellow 400/4.😁

Athame57:
Strange that the 400 was very fast, I'm sure I remember a test that gave it 111mph, but the 250 version was very slow!  :o  Rather impressive given they were actually 395cc compared to the 404cc of a CB400F.
