(j/k)


It really doesn't need much more...remember this was the 70's when this thing was built..37hp wasn't bad for a 4 stroke 408cc motor.

CB400F Specifications
Engine Air
cooled 8-valve transverse four
Bore x Stroke 51 x 50mm
Capacity 408cc
Compression Ratio 9.4:1
Claimed power 37bhp@8500rpm
Gearbox 6-speed
Tires
  Front 3.00x18in
  Rear 3.50x18in
Brakes
  Front 267mm (10.5in) disc
  Rear 160mm (6.3in) disc
Suspension
  Front Telescopic forks
  Rear Twin shocks with adj. pre-load
Wheelbase 1,359mm (53.5in)
Weight 178kg (392lb) wet
Fuel capacity 14 litres (3.1 gallons)
Top Speed (approx) 164kph (102mph)
Standing 1/4 mile 14.6sec/137kph (85mph)

And 14.6 sec 1/4 mile isn't bad considering the size of the motor either...

Sandman,
I'll try to get some pics up soon, right now I have no camera except the one in my phone and the pics from that are not much bigger than an avatar size.

Yea, I'm just pulling your leg a little.  I'd get an economical bike myself except that my my Dad either fell off or got run into while riding every bike he ever owned, so I've decided to not tempt fate and stick with cars.

To compensate for my unwillingness to drive a bike, I drive a trans-am.  305+ hp worth of zoom zoom.  Fun even without a mullet :)

When you look at the guages...as the foot presses the pedal, the RPM's go up and the Fuel guage goes down?

Found my picture hangar password..so here ya go.



and



Thats a bumblebee painted on the tank...I did that when I first got it. There was arust hole in the exhaust collector so made a kinda buzzing sound going down the road (This was back in 99 btw) So bucause of the yellow and black color and the noise it made, my friends gave it that nickname.

Next thing is to find a matching front wheel, the spokes are rusty so I painted the wheels and didn't like it, I found a rear wheel from a 78 Hondamatic 400-2cyl...now I just need to find a front.

my son gave me a BMW R 75 of 76 vintage... I run around on it doing errands and it is great to take out in the cool of the evening..  My girlfriend likes it because it is so smooth and quiet... you can converse on it while riding... it is only like 50 hp and the top speed is a claimed 110 mph but it will cruise all day at 100 I am told... seems smooth enough at 90 tho.

it is old and faded and people look at it and wonder what it is.. It probly gets more attention than the plastic neon bikes around.
