Up for auction, my 1989 Honda CB-1 (CB400F). If you clicked on this action there’s good chance you already know what this is, but maybe you just like things that are painted blue so here’s a quick introduction. Only made for three years and only brought to the U.S. for the first two, this is a 400cc naked sports bike with an engine based on the CBR400RR. While this one does not currently run, it could with a little bit of effort. Let's start with the bad:No spark.Carbs will need tuning. When it ran, it ran rich when warm.Passenger peg mounts have been cut off, so no two-up without some fabrication.Big ol' Bondo patch on the tank (see pictures), missing trim and some damage to the tail section.And now with the good: New chainFresh fluids (oil, coolant, forks and brakes)Tires are older, but have fresh tread ('09/'10 date codes) Everybody has opinions on this, I'd replace them.Nice "Devil" slip-on (from France!)Good, if not great, seatRick's CBR600 Regulator/Rectifier to solve the annual factory replacements.New fuel pumpAnd of course, low miles.I rode this bike for a very short period of time and loved every minute, but I just don't have the time or space for it anymore and I'd love to see it go to a good home. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
