Honda CB description

For Sale is a 1977 Honda CB400F in about 99% original condition with 3,366 miles.  It will be hard to find one as original as this.  The only aftermarket items now installed are crash bars, air cushion handle grips and a throttle lock, that's it.  I purchased this bike in July 1979 with 1,119 miles.  This bike has been in storage for more than 34 years with a squirt of Marvel Mystery Oil in each cylinder and the carbs and gas tank drained.  Storage started with it wrapped in plastic and stored in my barn.   I have kept it always thinking I would ride again or in my older years or stick it on the back of a motor home for local transportation.  Now I'm older, none of that happened, so its time for it to go. 

Everything is original except for the battery, one turn signal and the tail light lens to get an inspection sticker (original lens is available with a broken clear plate lens).  The tires are original, still hold full pressure from year to year and are in great shape.  Engine oil has been changed but it still is black from the remnants of ARCO Graphite oil that I used back then. (I still have 10 quarts of the stuff if the buyer wants it.)
 
Unfortunately with so many years of unmonitored storage, some of the plastic wrap deteriorated unnoticed and as a result of typical New England cold to warm humid air changes, there is some pitting of the chrome.  Most of it cleaned-up but there is some blister pitting
especially on the rear fender, tail light bracket, chain guard and the aftermarket crash bars (see photos).  Some of the silver engine paint has also failed.  There is a series of scratches in a small area on the front fender (photo) that were there when I got it.

Also, in the fall of 1981, as a result of hitting an oil slick during a turn at an intersection, there is some road rash on the headlight rim, tachometer base, brake fluid reservoir and the underside of one exhaust pipe (see photos)
(not to mention a separated shoulder).  Also, one turn signal had to be replaced.  I never registered it again until 2014. 

Since uncovering it and cleaning it up two years ago (3,283 miles), I have ridden it each year only for required inspection and around the block to make sure all is still OK.  It runs great, looks great, sounds great and still goes like hell for its size.

Bike is located in southeastern Mass.  If buyer is local, viewing and inspection can be arranged.  Buyer assumes responsibility for pick-up or shipping.  I will work with the buyer's shipping company as required.  uShip should be available through eBay. 

Full final payment in cash, cashiers check or postal money order within 7 days of the end of the auction.  Check payments must clear before bike and title are delivered to buyer or shipping company.

More Than $5 Million Available From 2014 Honda Red Riders Rewards

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

The continuation of Honda’s Red Riders Rewards program for 2014 means more than $5 million in earnings will be available to racers. Honda owners have the opportunity to earn payouts at more than 1500 races in 2014 motocross, off-road, dirt track, ATV and road racing contests throughout the country. Honda’s press release was awfully thin with details for road racers, instead focusing on a restructure of the off-road series payouts and the different ways competitors can hope to win money in.

WSBK: 2012 Magny-Cours Results – Championship Decided by Half a Point

Tue, 09 Oct 2012

You would think carrying a 30.5 point lead into the final round of the 2012 World Superbike Championship would be a safe enough margin to win the title. Aprilia‘s Max Biaggi made it interesting, inexplicably crashing out of the first race at the finale in Magny-C0urs before scoring a fifth place finish in Race Two to give him a 0.5 point margin over Kawasaki‘s Tom Sykes to win the title. The 358 to 357.5 point difference is the narrowest finish ever in WSBK.

AMA Supercross: 2012 New Orleans Results

Mon, 16 Apr 2012

Ryan Villopoto has already secured the 2012 AMA Supercross Championship but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to let up and take it easy over the remainder of the season. The Monster Energy Kawasaki racer clinched his second consecutive title two weeks ago in Houston, Texas, but he continued his dominance in AMA Supercross’ return to New Orleans’ Superdome, taking the holeshot and leading all 20 laps for his ninth win of the season in 14 rounds. The New Orleans round may have lacked some big names currently nursing injuries such as Ryan Dungey, James Stewart and Chad Reed, but Villopoto provided a star effort in the first AMA Supercross race in the city since 2009.
