It was an instant hit, a compact bike developed from and improved on from previous iterations in the CB series. The CB 400 F offers upgraded performance from the CB 350 (via an increased bore from 47mm to 51mm, bringing capacity up to 408cc). The CB 400 F Super Sport also boasts larger valves, six speed gearbox, offset chrome 4 into 1 exhaust system, a flatter angular fuel tank (and flat side panels), with transfers instead of badges, low handlebars, slightly rear set footrests and a studded seat. The 400 F has a sporty cafe racer look and feel, and offers a smooth riding feel across a wide variety of situations (including 2 up riding), giving you a feeling of control, and riding harmony with the road. There are many aftermarket parts available such as the Yoshimura big bore kit & modified camshafts. Other companies offer performance exhausts, electronic ignition, upgraded shocks & brakes, as well as cafe style seats & drop bars - in case you would like to modify it. This 1975 Honda 400 Four Super Sport is equipped with a side stand and a center stand which is handy for maintenance. It also has an electric start & a kick start. This is handy if the battery is low, as the starter robs the voltage to the ignition coils. After starting the bike from cold, it needs to warm up on part choke for a few minutes before setting off, or you could find yourself fumbling with the choke whilst riding. This little guy pulls well from the start (even with its peak power of 37 bhp at 8,500rpm and redline at 10,000 rpm), and with 6 gears to choose from you'll find your left foot is kept busy if you want to make the most of it. It accelerates well from 0-70 mph, which is the range where most riders will find themselves on this urban super sport. The seating position is slightly bent forward, giving a dominant street fighter feel. The bike handles very well at all speeds providing good cornering and a comfortable ride, and would make a great city commuter anywhere in the world.
