Why would I write up a very ordinary UJM? This is a site dedicated to Exotics, right? The Honda CB400T was as plain as could be.
Because that’s what we rode. I don’t know about anybody else, but I rode a Hawk. I lusted for a CBX and would take every opportunity to head to the local dealer and dream and scheme about how I could make one mine. It never happened, and to this day I have a press release photo of a CBX on my wall.
And one more thing. Near as I can tell a CB400T has not been featured on Bike-urious. Ever.
The ‘Hawk’ designation from Honda has been used for multiple platforms and many different configurations of motorcycle. In 1980 the CB400T was a 395 CC air cooled 3 valve per cylinder four stroke parallel twin motor that made 43 HP. Twin Carbs, 6 speed transmission, good suspension and brakes with a dry weight of 380 LBS all totaled up to the fastest 400 class bike available with a 110 MPH top speed.
This particular CB400T Hawk (VIN# NCO32006614) lives in Alhambra, CA and is listed as a 18,950 mile survivor with the handlebars and mirrors changed from stock. The bike is available with a Buy It Now price of $1,495 in an auction that ends Sunday, September 18th
