Sold - 1975 Honda CB400F - $2500

[tsflstb]

This is a fun and reliable old bike. I've put a couple thousand street miles on it and done 2 trackdays at GSS and half of one at MSR-H on it. It ran a solid novice pace with no problems at either track. I'd like to keep it, but want to try some TMGP racing. Might trade for a really nice Formula 7 setup, or for a not so nice one + cash.

The bike is about 70 lbs. lighter than a stock 400, but still completely street legal. Here are some highlights:

-Engine is stock internally, gone through and re-gasketed, re-sealed about 2 years ago at Metric Motorcycles.
-Valves checked, carbs synched, oil changed regularly
-Dyna S electronic ignition
-clip ons, Manx Norton seat
-electronic tach, oil pressure gauge, digital speedo
-TTR400 billet fork pre-load adjusters
-TTR400 box section swingarm - this is a snazzy $700 TIG welded piece imported from S. Africa
-Koni "Special D" alloy shocks w/ adjustable damping
-Shouldered aluminum rims +1 size
-Kerker header w/ Supertrapp baffle (also have the Kerker megaphone)
-7 position adjustable steering damper
-Stainless brake line, modern master cylinder, drilled and surface ground rotor

I've got an extra tank that is sealed with POR-15 and stripped, waiting for paint. Just never bothered to do the cosmetic stuff.

Crapload of other spares including an entire engine. Located in Houston.

That was my first bike, and I loved it! Of course, I couldn't ride a stock one anymore, and this one would bend me into a permanent pretzel. But I can dream, can't I?

If you're over 6' tall this would be a pretty tight squeeze, and if you can spend more than an hour on that seat there should be some kind of prize. It is a great bike for short blasts though.

I do have another stock triple tree and drag bars if the clip ons are too extreme. The ergos are really close to a modern GSXR 600 for comparison.

I dont have ALLL that cash right now due to a costa rica trip and destin next week...wish we could work out a deal for that to be parked in my garage somehow...


Hope someone really appreciates how beautiful that bike is...i've been wanting one a while

[tsflstb]

I forgot to mention I do have a clean title and the bike is currently registered, inspected, and 100% legal for the street.

Whoa.....
writing to you from California, that thing is SICK!

I put almost 30,000 miles on one dem puppies back in the day, I LOVED that bike!

And here I am 35 years later, dreaming of being taught how to ride (correctly) via some track days and CLASS. I ride an average of 25,000 miles a year, but that doesn't make a rider a GOOD rider. And there it is, a perfect track bike for my 5' 2"ness (!!!).

Too bad I'm trying to catch up on all these bills that owning & riding bikes has created of late; I'm making progress, but driving out to Texas with my old Kendon and buying the perfect toy would seriously set me back......

My God that thing is sweeeet!

[tsflstb]

I've sold some of the parts and replaced with others. The swingarm and shocks are replaced and the steering damper is gone.

$2300 like this.

Would you be interested in a clean Yamaha WR250 as a possible trade?

[tsflstb]

That's tempting, but I'm really looking for an F7 race package. Preferably some kind of XR or KLX motard.

Something that fits in this class:

Formula 7


- 50cc 2-stroke water-cooled, stock engine, carburetor and exhaust
- 60cc 2-stroke air-cooled, Formula rules
- 110cc 4-stroke air-cooled, Formula rules
- No GP Chassis in entire class
- Among the eligible machines are stock NSR50R, YSR60cc Superbike, YSR with XR100 motor, XR100 Superbike

I assume the trailer is included

What area of town are you located??

[tsflstb]

My race transporter/mulch hauler is not available, sorry.

I'm near the Woodlands mall.

Remember this night?

[cedestech]

Do you have the left cover?

[tsflstb]

Remember this night?

Sure do. Still owe you guys for hauling me home.

The tranny locked up due to me installing an off brand oil seal kit. That was all gone through and the engine redone about 2000 miles ago.

Yes I do have both sidecovers. Just removed them for a trackday.

[cedestech]

Someone by this **** thing.... God I want it but don't "need" it...

[tsflstb]

Ready to get it sold.

$2000 with spare engine, carbs, gas tank and misc. pieces.

I'm firm on this price - there's over $1000 in the wheels alone.

More pics.

Gauge cluster...oil pressure gauge replaces light for more info.


At GSS...perfect track for it.


More recent pic (steering damper is removed now)

If I can sell my F650 soon we might be talking.

[tsflstb]

Thanks.
