I have always been fond of the original CB400 Four (gotta be in blue)... love that 4-into-1...



I know a guy who has that very bike. It's neato.  :)

Its a 350 in N. Georgia -- and I've had it for a little more than a year.  [thumbsup]

sort of thread jacking.. :-D

I love the 3 1/2 sport.. they are so friggin hot. 

you can pick them up in Italy for 800-2000 euro depending on the condition and as long as it is >25 yo you don't have to do anything to bring it back, just ship it and declare the age..  shipping is about 800 bucks.

Mine was never a cafe bike, but I sold my 80 CB750 "Rat Bike" on Craigslist last week within 6hrs.

Paid $95.00 origanally & did everything else myself.

Sold for $3,600 + a Ruger Security-Six .357 & a S&W 44 Special new in the box, with 150 rounds.
Had two guys basically bidding on it...Go figure.  Ass for every seat, right?  :)




I promise to make better mistakes tomorrow.

Nice work!  [thumbsup]  Did you convert that to a single SU carb? I am trying to find some old photos of a 305 superhawk I converted to a rigid back in the '70s

It's a CV off of a Harley. Deal is, it took a turbo to pull the "goods" through.

Can't go wrong with vodka. ;D
