Maybe it could be this years fragrance..... We've had "impulse" (rocket fuel) and "Diesel". Why not "Eau d'Honda"?? We just need a good marketing person......

Nice one Jensen......

Here is my CB400F in 1994 at the very first Classic & Motorcycle Mechanics Show. Dinah May was Honda's promotional model in the 70s and 80s and she was invited along to the show....

I rode the bike to the show and back again on a wet October Saturday......

Hi,

A 1976 bike isn't it ? Really nice colour scheme.
Yes, the CB400/4 is a very nice bike indeed,

Bought in summer '77 so it probably was.

Fellas, your 400s are to die for! They are just exquisite.

I passed on the eBay 400, it was just too beat up. Besides, the Old Girl is a bit of lesson to me - too nice, and I won't ride it.

Okay...tomorrow, I'm going to test ride a (heaven forbid) 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250r. It's sort of a funky bike, 90's styling, and I wouldn't be tempted to restore it and I WOULD ride it - a lot! Of course I'll post the result of the test ride. I should do it under another topic, too, it doesn't belong in this thread.

Jersey, I'll join the SOHC forum - it looks really interesting!
