238583238586238584238587238582238585The lovely CB400 passed it's WOF today ( 10-05-2011)
Have fitted a GIVI screen to keep the wind where it should be :yes:
New seat cover, looks fantastic238754238755238756238757238758238759.
Had new pads all round at 62km.
New Sport Demon on the front at 65,000km.
The fuel tap has been replaced with a genuine and uber expensive Honda part as has the regulator/rectifier
Has never missed a beat and has been a brilliant commuter.
Bike runs like a clock, she starts and runs immensely smooth and quiet, typical Honda four :love:
I'm currently looking for offers, don't be afraid I'm realistic, :innocent: or am interested in trading for a sports or sports touring bike of any size, I just want something I fit until my ZZR is on the road again.
PM me for more Pics and details,
Cheers, Doug.

I could have and still may, but, being a silly chap I just brought another bike that fits me :innocent: Sadly second bike isn't proving to be as reliable, so I may just do that


Oh and I didn't think of that before I got the other bike...

Bump, the CB400 passed it's WOF today with nothing mentioned from the inspector (I always ask if there's anything to note for or before the next WOF)
Also I have put a GIVI screen on it, I will upload pictures tomorrow.

Should sell easy if the seat was recovered!

I agree, it's one of those "I'll get it done in a week or two" things :facepalm:

If we weren't trying to save up, I'd be seriously considering this as a commuter.

That's what I use it for currently and it's great.

Has to be better than a GSX1400.

Heh.

Do you know if it'll be LAMS approved when the rules change?? I suspect it will be.

I'll swap ya :innocent:
I don't think so to be honest, it's 53hp/160kg or so and goes a whole lot better than the 250cc four cylinders.





edit: It's on the QLD LAMS scheme and that's 160kw/T max. So you may be right.

Can do you a part-trade on an RS125 if you're keen??

The '14 is staying with me, thanks for the offer though

EDIT: Yep - LAMS approved in Straya:

I would jump if I had the cash! I'd have to sell the ZZR and that won't be happening yet as it's brooding very, very quietly in my garage :facepalm:

Very nice, would be ideal for me as I'm looking for a good reliable bike for commuting from Johnsonville into the central city. Just wish I could spend more than $1300 at the moment, good luck

If you can scrape up the cash I can deliver it to you :yes:

Wish I could scrape up more than the $1300 I have on hand, but other than selling the wife or kids, a bit difficult at the moment, cheers:yes:

Bump!!!!!!!!!!! :innocent:
Come on chaps, it's a fantastic example of a great little bike.

Won't be so cheap once it's on TradeMe, but for some strange reason I'd like to see my beloved in the hands of a fellow KB member.

Hi, looks like a sound little commuter. I have had a couple of CB1's in the UK which are very similar and have the same excellent little motor - cracking bikes. Wondering if there was any way you could get this to the ferry port at Wellington if I was to come over on foot, or is that a bit cheeky? I could contribute to your fuel costs. Obviously thats assuming we came to an agreement on the price. cheers, Kitch mob: 0211368248
