Now one of the undisputed classics of the 1970s, the Honda CB400F first appeared in 1974. Hailed as 'the poor boy's muscle bike', it featured a four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine in a 250-sized package that endowed it with performance bettering that of many 500s. Boasting a stylish four-into-one exhaust, six gears and rear-set footrests, it was every boy-racer's dream and a huge commercial success. This Cornish-registered CB400F was purchased in 1978 by the current owner and appears to be in generally good condition throughout. Due to the vendor's declining health the Honda has been stored in a heated garage in recent years. Unused for some time, careful re-commissioning and the customary safety checks are advised before returning it to the road. Offered with a current V5c, the machine would respond well to sympathetic tidying.
