Registration No: MCO 514R
Frame No: CB400F1070690
MOT: Exempt
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 footpegs and one of its most recognisable features, a swooping four-into-one exhaust system. It proved to be one of the best-selling bikes of the 1970s and even now is still a very usable classic.
This CB400F is from a deceased estate and is being offered by his family so unfortunately not much is known of its history. It looks to have been restored to a good standard, keeping as much originality as possible including the distinctive 4-into-1 exhaust and studded seat cover. It is the later F2 model with the frame-mounted pillion footrest but finished in the earlier and more popular plain Red of the F1 version. No receipts have been found for parts bought or work carried out but items like the wheels look to have been rebuilt and fitted with period-correct tyres and all the cosmetics appear to have been refinished. Not run for a while, it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with current V5C.
