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.

Reportedly laid-up for thirty-two years before being restored by its previous keeper, ‘LCX 713T’ is understood to retain numerous original parts, including the supplier's decal from Bradford. A new fork stanchion and brake master cylinder were installed and the motorcycle painted to a ‘good standard’ in its original colours. Ridden thereafter, it has seen little use joining the vendor’s private collection during 2016. Offered with parts manuals, a parts list and a full folder of restoration photographs and records of the work that has been carried out.
