Rightly regarded as one of the outstanding classics of the 1970s, the Honda CB400 Four first appeared in 1974. Described as 'the poor boy's muscle bike', the CB400F boasted a combination of a four-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine in a 250-sized package that endowed it with a performance better than many 500s. With a stylish four-into-one exhaust, six gears and rear-set footrests, it was every boy-racer's dream and a huge commercial success.
The current vendor acquired this CB400F in 2022 from a retired gentleman in Stoke and advises us that it has been started for short periods on a weekly basis. A new cam chain and tensioner were fitted last year, and a new battery will have been fitted prior to sale. Sold only because the vendor has turned 75 and is no longer riding, the machine is offered with a V5C document. Keys present.
