Thanks for the reply Frosty!

I am going to see a Honda CB400 tomorrow, hopefully that will turn out good.

I bought a Honda CB400 F2R. Don't really know the differences between the CB400 models, but yeah it is a F2R. 1994, done 25,000km.

I got it privately. It is a CB400 Super 4. I think :confused: The model is F2R..?? There are so many different models of the CB400, I am confused. There are some with adjustable front shocks, VTEC :Punk: , 4 pot calipers (Nissin and BREMBO), cone shaped exhausts and full length exhausts.

The one I got has 2 pot calipers like the CBR250RR and non-adjustable front forks.

Here are the photos the owner sent to me:

I get to pick it up on Tuesday. :msn-wink: :msn-wink:

yeap, no problem. I considered the BROS 400 but I didn't like the single sided rear sway arm. I also didn't like the short exhaust. I found the CB400 to be a nicer bike to look at. I didn't test ride the BROS so I can't really comment.

I finally picked it up today. The ride home was a little funny. Having no fairing in front of you and being a streetfighter, the handling was twitchy compared to sports bikes. But I can imagine that would be a handy thing to have in the city / traffic jam. The bike is a wee bit heavy.

but my sister had to ask if she could take it for a ride, I kindly obliged and she dropped it :mad: :mad: :mad: :( :( ... so now a bent front brake lever, some scratches and a broken foot peg .....
