My 400/4 in Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Magazine.

K2-K6:
It's good to see any bike stuff published but would be nice if they were accurate with simple details.

Your 400Four looks nice Ash, I guess being restored that long ago makes it quite genuine in a sense.

I only rode a friends Honda 400Four and not for very long bit must admit more of a soft spot for the RD400 as more of a hooligan bike when I used one for quite a time.

This issue is the one that also has the Honda RCB article in it which is originated from the 750SOHC motor so a couple of things relevant to this forum to read.

The bike has been off the road all of that time. You also didn't notice the missing horn (being replated) and dunno about the transfers but they and the tank are wrong anyway -they should be Varnish Blue with different transfers and no pinstripes. rest of it is correct though including the fenders and exhaust, switches etc etc

Yes you are probably right Yoshi - I  thiink her sister took the shot before I had chance to put the seat pins in. (the NOS seat was stored in my loft as the original one was nibbled by mice in my brothers barn)!
