CB450S
« on: January 17, 2019, 09:52:44 PM »
Hi, has anybody come across a CB450S before? To the best of my knowledge they were never sold in the States! Mainly sold in Europe and Germany! I'm looking for a manual, the engine was i believe based on the 400F ? So if anybody can give me a little insight to this model it would be appreciated.

Never seen one in the UK, only Germany back in the late 80's. The UK had the 350s.
Nothing like the 400 four, the 450 s was a twin. Try the Honda twin forum  ;)

thanks for the info, I'm looking on there at the moment, there is a 450s forum on face book and I have found a manual, the engine is based on the old 400! 8)

 But not the 400/4. It looks like a CB/CM 400 or 450, which is a twin.

Yes. It's based on the late 70's 400 twin.
