Topic: New CB400F member from Seattle, Washington

[0bsolete]

I have a huge car background and I did the MSF course last August to get my motorcycle license. Been wanting a bike ever since, I've toyed the idea of getting a supersport as a first bike, then a naked sport bike, but I did some more research and came to a conclusion that I wanted something with a similar intent as my car. I drive a Honda S2000 and that thing was made for raw driving enthusiasm with its smooth and linear powerband. I wanted that same feeling from a motorcycle and I've read the CB400F is the closest thing to that, so that's what I've searched for. It took me 4 months to find a decent deal on one and I had to drive all the way down to Beaverton, Oregon to pick it up. It's not stock and I found out that the frame has been slightly modified after I brought it home, but those are things I'm looking to fix. It's in really good condition with barely any rust, the owner told me all it needed was a carb clean and a battery and it should start right up, which I'm going to get to this weekend. This is my first bike and it'll be a learning process along the way and I'm okay with that with a bike this old, and I can't wait to get it started!

Here it is:

Cool bike....and a great picture with all those cars.

That's a good analogy to the S2000.

Seems to be all the POs (Previous Owners) say all it needs is a carb clean and a battery.  Your car background puts you well ahead of me, so you'll likely be fine...and have fun with it.

Howdy!  The bluest skies you've ever seeen are in Seattle.   
And the summer heat wave!

Is that a Falcon or a Comet to the left?
