There you go, and it looks like Daimo's dad's bike was also a US import as well, judging my the frame reflectors. |

This is me on the first one, which had the chassis parts rebuilt just after these were taken. I'd had it back on the road 3 days and just fitted the newly painted black with red and blue Elf Honda bodywork when some thieving ba$tard had it away. These were taken in 1988, get a load of the dodgy tash, trainers and snow-washed jeans. ![]() ![]() |

My uncle has a 1976 Honda Goldwing with 12000mile on it only rides it in pure sun shine. Last time it was on the road was in 1988 and i've never seen him on it. Its not my bag but its mint, naked bike aswell not the fully loaded ones with all the silly bits.
He's got 2 CB4's aswell. I'll try and get a pic off him. |

Sorry to get all pedantic on your donkey, but...Honda never called the CB400F the 400/4, it was always called the 400 FOUR. Reason? In Japanese culture the number 4 as we know it is a sign of evil - it's ok when used in conjunction with other numbers but not alone, so they spelled the word FOUR out on the sidepanels.
Next week in Laurie's Anoraks Trivia Quiz "How many fins are there on an RD400 barrel from top to bottom?" |

![]() ![]() But yes, I was actually made aware of that trivia a while back (but didn't know it for many years of/after 400/4 owning) ![]() Last edited by Blue_SV650S; 27-02-08 at 05:11 PM. |

It's a common and accepted abbreviation I am doing my damndest to stamp out - like people calling any 70s Yamaha 2-stroke with a disc brake a DX model. They only used that DX thing on the FSiE and RD125/200s, never on 250s or 400s.
