1975 Honda CB400/4
The 400/4 quickly established itself
as a favourite with British riders and
came to be regarded as one of the "classic"
Honda's. Displacing 408cc and delivering
37bhp at 8,500rpm it offered a top speed
of 103mph coupled to good handling, light
weight and good (for the period) brakes,
resulting in a machine that could cover
"A" and "B" roads
rapidly whilst providing the rider with
a great deal of entertainment.
