More of an evolution rather than a revolution, the Honda CB400F has one of the most distinctive exhaust systems ever produced – known by some as the “waterfall pipes”. Though it wasn’t as fast as its competition, this little four cylinder was smoother, quieter, and gave better gas mileage.
Featuring a relatively rare six-speed transmission, the CB400F was styled somewhat like a cafe racer and had an engine that produced 37 horsepower. Weighing just over 400 pounds, a rider could knock off the quarter mile in about 14.1 seconds. It’s a basic, classic bike that would be just fine serving as a lovely daily rider, even almost at the age of 30.
This example is ‘mostly original’ with the factory Parakeet Yellow paint job. It’s been ridden about 120 miles in the last 3 months and is claimed to be a strong runner. The seller notes that in addition to the original exhaust (many of which have not survived over time), the sale will include the original 4-into-1 exhaust
