Description

Please note: This CB400F is titled under its engine number.

Additional photos of this Honda CB400F are available here for your perusal.

The CB400F wasn’t as fast as its competition, but it was smoother, quieter, and more efficient. It also had some of the most beautiful production exhaust headers ever built, which are known by some as the “waterfall pipes” and are so iconic that Honda brought them back for the new CB650F!

Featuring a relatively rare-for-the-time six-speed transmission, the CB400F was styled somewhat like a cafe racer and had an engine that produced 37 horsepower. Weighing just over 400 pounds, a rider could knock off the quarter mile in about 14.1 seconds. It’s a basic, classic bike that would be just fine serving as a lovely daily rider. For more information, check out this story on Motorcyclist where they call it “the first real sportbike“.

This example is VIN: CB400F11036248, Engine #: CB400FE1036389. The seller acquired the bike from an online auction. Per the previous owner’s account, “the bike was sold new to Mike’s Cycle Shop in Appleton, Wisconsin, where it stayed until 1980. It was sold to its second-owner with 400 miles, and then purchased in 1999 with 784 miles. The bike has seen approximately 10 miles within the last 25 years.”

The odometer shows 793 miles.
