1980 CM400A - Automatic - No Shifting Give it Gas and Go! Low Reserve Price The Story Behind the Vehicle you are bidding On: You are binding on a gently used 1980 CM400 automatic with 5500 original miles! This low milage motorcycle is in good running condtion and ready to ride. This is a relatively rare motorcycle and has a 2 speed automatic transmission! No clutch or shifting with this Honda - just give it gas and your on your way! The CM400A has cruiser styling as opposed to the standard styling of the era. This motorcycle has spent the last 10 years in the garage and is in really nice shape and is mechanically and cosmetically better than would be expected of a motorcycle built in 1979. Spring is coming so if you are in the market for a vintage mid size motorcycle with an automatic transmission read on, this bike is ready to ride! Recent mechanical work:- Project was started by removing the carbs and to my surprise they were both in nice shape. I'm a professional factory Honda certified mechanic so I disassembled both carbs and made sure all jets and circuits were clean and set them back to specs. To finish the fuel system I lubed the cables, installed an inline filter, inspected and flushed the gas tank. The inside of the tank is in great shape and shows no rust. I installed a new battery, new plugs and changed the oil and filter. The engine cam to life easily, sounded good and a test ride confirmed it runs well with no hesitation and the two speed automatic shift works well. Way to go Honda - great engineering! The tires look good with lots of tread and no cracks. After riding the motorcycle I realized both front and rear brakes need a little attention. The front brakes had plenty of meat but the front caliper was dragging and needed to be overhauled and the system bleed. Rear brakes shoes were very low and the brake shoes were replaced with EBC shoes. The rear chain is like new and has been lubed and adjusted. A meter on the battery verified the electrical system is charging and working properly! Cosmetic condition: Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and I would say this motorcycle is a solid 8 out of 10. The bike looks good but is not cosmetically perfect. Some spots on the motorcycle under close examination shows there age and some weathering. The original factory seat has been recovered and looks great and is not ripped or torn. The exhaust system is solid with no leaks or wholes in the mufflers. Head pipes have some gold and bluing which is normal for vintage motorcycles.. The engine cases are not damaged and look good but have been touched up by the previous owner. The frame paint is good but has also been touched up in places. The side covers are original and look good but the left side has some pebble damage and the left side under close examination shows some sun fading. The gas tank looks good but has major sun fade on the top and a noticeable ding on the top left side. The gas tank does have a tank bib which makes a big difference and covers a lot of the sun fade and cosmetic damage! Sorry there is no tool kit or owners manual with this motorcycle.
