Topic: CB400 Four, version 9.0 for ME I flip for 400 fours

Concourse is kinda buzzy. Stonkin' motor for its day though. I see ST1100s go for stupid cheap money and they are pretty bombproof (except for the charging system). Don't go to the dark side just yet! :-).

Done deal Nils, just committed to buy.  I was thinking of an ST1100 but this Concours only has 4K and has been completely serviced.

Delight in the fact that you can WAX anybody on an ST1100 now :-).

Enjoy Larry!

Think I can do that already with my 1100 Katana.  However , at 69 the only thing I'm racing with is Father Time

Congrats  Momo   KawiMan!  That thing looks clean. 

You should fly down there and ride back!

I was thinking of doing that- I could even visit Matt(sold you my 750 Steve) but I found a shipper willing to bring it up for 240.  Plus, it'd be hard to get days off in a row from that fine home supply business I work for(sarcasm intended)...Larry
Yeah

Yeah 

$240 is cheap, you couldn't do it for that (flight, fuel, beer!)

Just heard from Matt yesterday, he's in SC and bought a Yammie Bolt 950 to mod to a scrambler!

[MoMo]

Yea, I saw the Yammie.  I think the mod to scrambler might be beyond his budget.  You're right, there is no way I could do that trip for 240.  Maybe I'll take some time when I get the Concours and visit Matt, Megan and Vanora. Maybe stop by any other forum members who live between Philly and SC...Only 4K on the bike, so I have lots of miles to go...Larry

I think the ZG1000 Concours is MUCH lighter on it's wheels and shorter(better handling & almost 'flick-able')for Sport Touring than the ST1100 Honda.I think more like a 1000 Ninja in a Touring package.I think you can use a few rubber grommets in a couple places to take away any 'buzziness' from the fairing bit's.
Nice looking bike Larry  Do you have any long distance tours planned across the USA after you retire from the Home Improvement job ?

Doubt I will fully retire  Bill.   I've watched  too many men die 5 years after they retire. In my case though, I have bikes and still parts of the house to fix.  The cylinders for Ver. 8 came today.  No chance to open because I am due at work in an hour.  If I go to SC I'll go the western PA route...Larry

When I say "retire" I really mean "have more free time to do exactly what You want to do including the work you choose"    I'd rather have good time on my hands myself even if it means having small $.. but more $ would be good too !
