  • The later F2 version of Honda’s desirable middleweight

  • Supplied with a current V5

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 legendary 400/4 was launched in 1975 to great acclaim and revolutionised medium capacity motorcycles giving riders 500cc performance in a small lightweight package with a café racer look, lower handlebars, rear-set foot pegs and one of its most recognisable features, a swooping four-into-one exhaust system.

This good-looking bike in Yellow, is the later F2 version of Honda’s classic 1970s middleweight sports bike. It has been part of a small private collection for a number of years, unfortunately not run for a while due to ill health. The engine turns on the kickstarter, but it will need recommissioning before use. The bike has been restored at some point and is supplied with a current V5C.
