1975 Honda CB400F The CB400F (aka the 400/4 or 400 four super sport), was unveiled for 1975. It was an instant hit, a compact bike developed from, and improved on the previous CB350F, with upgraded performance via an increased bore from 47mm to 51mm, bringing capacity up to 408cc, larger valves, and a six speed gearbox, it had updated styling with a neat offset chrome 4 into 1 exhaust system, a flatter angular fuel tank & flat side panels with transfers instead of badges, low handle bars, slightly rear set footrests and a studded seat, The bike had a sporty cafe racer look and feel, ride and handling were deemed excellent at the time. All this brought together a universal bike which was easy, exiting and smooth to ride in various situations, giving you a feeling of control, riding in harmony with a thoroughbred.The CB400F was widely well received by the motoring press and reviewers. They praised its renewed focus over the previous CB350F model, preferring its clean lines and sporty cafe racer looks. This bike is in great shape and runs. The Cam Chain needs to be adjusted and the adjustment bolts were broken off and need to be replaced. The side covers are cracked but I bought replacements that are better than OEM. The bike is a nice low mileage example.
