Thanks. I love this 400f. It growls like a rabid German Shepherd. At about 7K RPM in the higher gears, the already-low vibration suddenly gets even lower, the exhaust tone changes a little bit, and it takes off like a rocket straight through to about 9.5K-10K. Sixth gear is a great invention, too.
It's not the bike I rescued. That one got sold a while back (along with my CL350 twin and CB750F) to make room in my limited time and budget so that I could give this bike all my love. Plus space is hard to come by here in Brooklyn, so owning multiple bikes is a problem.
I always thought Honda should have made the 400F stock in black. Not that I hate blue, red and yellow, black is definitely the fastest color for this bike.
