About this model
About the Honda CB 1
The Honda CB-1 (model code NC27) is a 1989-1990 naked sportbike powered by a 399 cc inline-four with four valves per cylinder, derived from the CBR400RR engine. It combines a light steel frame, monoshock rear suspension and cast-iron callipers into a nimble, lively city-and-back-roads package. The CB-1 stood in the shadow of the naked CB400 Super Four (its eventual successor), giving it cult status among Honda enthusiasts, especially in the grey-import market.
The CB-1 is an interesting choice for early-1990s Japanese naked four-cylinder fans and as an A2-friendly (factory-restrictable to 35 kW) classic. It is light (168 kg), revs eagerly past 12,000 rpm and delivers the screaming-four soundtrack of its era. Seat height is 770 mm. Period rivals were the Yamaha FZR400, Kawasaki ZXR400 and Suzuki Bandit 400, though the CB-1 was tuned less aggressively than the fully-faired racers.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Ask for the carburettor service history; four 32 mm Keihin carbs harden up at rest, causing flooding or poor idle.
- Listen for cam chain rattle; the early NC27 hydraulic cam chain tensioner is a known weak point and can wreck valves if it fails.
- Inspect cast-iron brake callipers for stuck pistons; most need a rebuild after 30 years.
- Check paint and chrome; most Dutch CB-1s are grey-import bikes with rusty exhausts or sun-bleached tank panels.
- Test the electrical system: wiring around the regulator/rectifier is aged and connectors oxidise.
