Hey KiwiKK, nice migration from the GN to a darn good bike. That SOHC site mentioned earlier is a goodin, a mate from Holland is on there, has a red 4 hundy too, had it for years. Slighty modified running hot cam etc and a period small bikini fairing fitted too. Cracker bikes.

You have a great bike with that 4 hundy, look forward to seeing you out and about the Taranaki eh.

Cheers mate.
I've finally nailed down a good colour reference for a tank respray. I washed, cut and polished the side panels and there it was!
Tell you what....I talked with Bike shops, Bike Engineers and paint sprayers and It sounds like I'm the only owner of a CB400F in the region. Surprising. Puts me in a good position to score in any local bike shows.

Anyway you will no doubt see me out cruising on fine days. (You'll fekkin' hear me coming first )

They are a great 'wee' bike, not really much faster than the old 2T 250's of the day, but I knew so many of then that were used, abused, mercilessly thrashed for years and still ran well (as long as oil changes etc were done).
There was a couple of 'oddball' versions around in the UK, a 'Yoshimura' tuned one and a Honda dealer called Mocheck, did a 'hotted up' version called the Harrier... Possibly the same 'type', a Yoshi tune up. So you might still be able to 'acquire' Yohsi cams, 460cc conversion, and 4-1's
