About the Honda CB 400
The Honda CB 400 is a classic naked motorcycle powered by a 399 cc air-cooled inline-four four-stroke engine. Honda produced the CB400F from 1975 to 1977, followed by the CB400N (1978–1981) and CB400T Hawk variants. The model is celebrated for its smooth power delivery, reliability, and the distinctive 4-into-1 exhaust header on the F version.
The CB 400 suits beginner riders and enthusiasts of classic Japanese motorcycles alike. Its low weight of around 175 kg and upright riding position make it an excellent choice for city commuting and lighter touring. It competes with period rivals such as the Kawasaki Z400 and Yamaha XS400. Used examples remain popular with restorers and retro fans.

What to check before buying
- Check the carburetors for blockages and worn needles – many examples have sat unused for years.
- Inspect the 4-into-1 exhaust collector (F version) for rust and hairline cracks at the welds.
- Examine the chain tensioner and sprockets for wear; genuine parts are increasingly hard to source.
- Look over the wiring harness for dried-out insulation and makeshift repairs.
- Check the front forks for oil seepage and pitting on the stanchions.
