The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The Honda CB400A, also known as the CB400 Hawk Hondamatic, launched in 1978 as part of Honda's 400cc Hawk series, which also included the CB400T Type I and CB400T Type II models. The CB400A was unique for featuring an automatic transmission, a motorcycle feature seldom seen in this time.

Subject to recommissioning work in 2020 at a cost of some £5, 000, it is accompanied by the original bill of sale, assorted invoices and a Swansea V5 document.
