1975 Honda CB400-F, 408cc. Registration number LDN 209N. Frame number CB400F-108101. Engine number CB400F-E-1031719.
After introducing the four-cylinder CB750 motorcycle in 1969, Honda followed with a string of smaller-capacity four-cylinder models; the CB500 Four in 1971 and the CB350 Four in 1972.
In order to develop the CB350F into the CB400F, Honda increased the bore and modified the cylinder head to raise the compression ratio. In a first for Honda, a sixth ratio was fitted to the gearbox.? Instead of aping the styling of the bigger CB750, the CB400F had a more café racer look with lower handle bars, rear set footpegs and one its most recognisable attributes, a swooping four-into-one exhaust system.
Between 1975-1977 the 400F was available in Light Ruby Red or Varnish Blue and was replaced by the F2 in 1978.
There is no paperwork with this lot although it is recorded with DVLA.
