Condition and Overview

The CB 400 F (aka 400 FOUR Super Sport), as unveiled in 1975. It was an instant hit, compact bike developed from and improved on from previous iterations in the CB series. The CB 400 F offers upgraded performance from the CB 350 (via an increased bore from 47mm to 51mm, ringing capacity up to 408cc).

The 400 F has a sporty cafe racer look and feel, nd offers a smooth riding feel across a wide variety of situations (including 2 up riding), iving you a feeling of control, nd riding harmony with the road. There are many aftermarket parts available such as the Yoshimura big bore kit & modified camshafts. Other companies offer performance exhausts, lectronic ignition, pgraded shocks & brakes, s well as cafe style seats & drop bars - in case you would like to modify it.

This 1975 Honda 400 Four Super Sport is equipped with a side stand and a center stand which is handy for maintenance. It also has an electric start & a kick start. This is handy if the battery is low, s the starter robs the voltage to the ignition coils. After starting the bike from cold, t needs to warm up on part choke for a few minutes before setting off, r you could find yourself fumbling with the choke whilst riding.

This little guy pulls well from the start (even with its peak power of 37 bhp at 8,500rpm and redline at 10,000 rpm), nd with 6 gears to choose from you'll find your left foot is kept busy if you want to make the most of it. It accelerates well from 0-70 mph, hich is the range where most riders will find themselves on this urban super sport.
