New CB400f Owner Hampton, VA
« on: October 29, 2011, 11:33:58 AM »
Hello all,
I am the proud owner of a '72 CB450 and also a '75 CB400f. The 450 was actually an impulse buy (I had already been talking to the PO of the 400) and is in pretty rough shape, while the 400 is a near unmolested gem with 5800mi (drove to Syracuse to get it). I was thinking abut selling the 450 but after reading so many inspirational builds on here, I think I might use it as a learning tool (cafe?). Wish me luck!

Welcome aboard! There are a few of us from the Hampton Roads area. I have a '77 550 semi cafe, and am currently building a '75 550 cafe. These bike are great and you will get a lot of support from everyone on this forum.
