Mick,

I believe this is his warehouse in England.  It is my understanding he is refurbishing the 400's to sell.

Is the 400F the most popular CB in England?

The 400 was a very popular bike in it's day in Europe, but never sold well in the US so producton stopped.

The 400/4 was very popular in the UK but due to it being 408cc it fell into the higher insurance category which started at 399cc I believe. This killed it for very many younger riders.

The simple reason was economics.  It cost as much as a bigger bike to make so the profit margin was extremely low.  Near the end it cost as much to build as it did to sell, which is why they replaced it with a twin

a few months ago there was a thread on here about DSS aggressively buying up cb400 bikes and parts in the U.S. to import to the U.K.  Looks like the campaign was fairly successful ...all I can say about that is....Mainstream Americans taste in bikes?, that's why we can't have nice things :'(
