Talk:Honda CB400F

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the late 1980's and early 1990's, many Japanese nationals developed a keen interest in collecting key specimens from their automotive (and motorcycle) history (see article on the Toyota 2000 GT). As such, the Honda 400F Four became something of a collector item; commanding some extraordinary prices and undergoing extensive and expensive restoration work. Many felt the bike was the first bike from Japan which didn't embody the feel of the UJM (Universal Japanese Motorcycle) having the lines and proportions seen on the large displacement British motorcycles of the early 1960's (particularly the Norton and Matchless machines). 22:43, 17 October 2006 Ndsci
