Sell the 98 fake 400F and get a real 400F

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #4 on:** April 18, 2006, 07:40:33 AM »

I like the 4 pipe look.

Keep it AND get a real 400F!

What does it go/stop/handle like?

Is this the same as the CB-1 or CB400 "Big One" that we had over here?

Marco83 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 18, 2006, 05:45:29 PM »

SteveD CB500F/_biffta_ : Not much CB400f left in singapore..Cant find any.
_biffta_ : This bike go really fast,stopping also not bad at all and the handle of this bike is really good(after all it's still a 400cc bike).it have the same engine as CB400 "V Tech".

mb3000gt · « **Reply #6 on:** April 19, 2006, 05:54:36 AM »

Welcome aboard, that 400f is pretty cool. If they sold it in the US i'd go for it.

eldar · « **Reply #7 on:** April 19, 2006, 08:18:06 AM »

I would do it too. There is a distinct lack of small cc bikes in the US and it really sucks.

Marco, I like your CB400F very much, it sounds like it’s fun to ride! but I prefer old bikes like your 350F.
Do you know if you can get fake or real Honda parts in Singapore for the 1977 CB400F.

I do like old bike too but in singapore is really kind of hard to find a 30's old bike(We cant bring any moto bike/car which is more then 3 year old into singapore).So even if find any old bike in singapore, can easy cost up to US5k. As for part, i think have but have to find.Most singporean riding japanese bike.

Anyway what you need?try asking around for you.

Man I wish they sold those over here in the US. Would buy one in a split second. Would fit nicely nect to my

Love that 4-pipe 400 it's great.

If they'd had those in the UK at the time I was looking I may have ended up with one... although the reason i didn't go for a CB-1 or Honda Bros would still apply (could only get a ratty old bike for a grand). Still I came home with a near pristine CB350F - couldn't ask for more.

BTW I'll be in singapore on saturday afternoon (22nd) so I'll keep an eye out for you!!

Marco I thought our government had strict rules for old cars and bikes, why can’t you import them after they are 3 years old? We also get used imported bikes from Japan (CB400SFV2).

Hi

As far as I'm aware we didn't have a 400:4 like yours we had a four cylinder cb1 (Steve D - was this an official import or a grey I'm not sure I know the Honda bros 400 twin was a grey import) but the CB1 wasn't the four pipe 70's 400/4 replica though it's still a nice bike.

Unfortunately I'm only in singapore for one night as a stopover on the way home to the UK after a holiday in Australia and I've already arranged to meet up with a friend from university who I haven't seen for 10 years!! Thanks for the offer though

Marco83 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 21, 2006, 09:17:59 PM »

_biffta_:i understand which part already, will going down to the shop on next weekend so just sit back and wait for my news.

Marco83 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 21, 2006, 09:21:29 PM »

loonymoon: oh,singapore got not many CB1 running around..Know someone own it but never see the real thing before.
Btw remember to ask your friends to bring around in singapore for the good food.

Glenn Stauffer · « **Reply #22 on:** April 22, 2006, 04:33:59 PM »

That's a sweet looking bike. Interesting that they've basically produced a replica 550K with a 400 engine rather than doing the 400 up right with the sweeping headers and the 4-1 pipes of the original 400F. Not sure which I'd like to see more, but I'd definitely be tempted to buy one of these bikes if they were available here in the US.

Hi Marco - I'm at the airport now just about to leave Singapore - gotta love the free internet booths!
Yes my friends took me to Crystal jade la mian in Ngee Ann city. It was FANTASTIC.. absolutely delicious I would recommend it to anyone - the soup dumplings were to die for.

I kept a look out for you but I didn't see your CB400F. There's lots of Honda Shadows here and scooters - and as you say not many big bikes - I guess you don't need them when the island is so small and it takes less than an hour to go round the whole thing!

74cb750 · « **Reply #24 on:** April 23, 2006, 04:46:44 AM »

I like both of your bikes.

When I hunted for a small 4 someone called me and said they had a free
197x cb350F. So I jumped, drove 2 hours and got there to find
a frame, tires and that's about it. Well, at least it was free.

I would buy a 350/400 four if it was sold in the US and came with
four into four pipes.
peace,
michel

Marco, That is a nice looking bike and it's the 1st one I've seen also. It makes you wonder
how many models we've missed here in the U.S. by them not being imported to us. Really makes
me wonder what the deal is. Thanks Marco for bringing this bike to our attention. Later on, Bill

333 · « **Reply #27 on:** June 16, 2007, 06:52:10 PM »

The reason you don't see many small 4 cyl bikes in the US is that they would cost too much. Would you pay 4,000 to 5,000 for one of those 400Fs? I'm sure some of us would, but not enough. Would it surprise you to know that only 3% of the US population owns motorcycles? That's street, off-road AND atvs. And when you couple that with the "bigger is better"attitude, we'll never get the cool small displacement bikes here.

Did you know that outside the US, they sell 250cc FOURS? They must wind up real good!

250 four? really?

So i guess US does not has this dream 50
Honda make this on year 2000 i guess.

50s are so cool. My former boss at a dealer parts dept. has several 50s. Someone told him about that 50 you pictured. He was so hot for one. And about 15 years ago, Honda made (Japan only, I think) a 50cc version of the Magna. Someone at the time suggested smuggling one back home in suitcases!

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #35 on:** June 17, 2007, 01:30:03 PM »

Honda made a large batch of those Dream 50's a few years back. Dealers still have them in stock in UK as they didn't sell very well. They go on eBay for about £1500 ($3k)

We also had the CBR250/4 for a while as an import. Nice looking bike. Red lined at 18,000 rpm.
