Anyone had one or knows anything about them as i had a look at one yesterday
nice bike in really good nick for about $2000.
I'm not into the new plastic bikes they gotta be pre 1980.
Just wanting to know what problems they had etc.
Cheers
Stribo, I've got a 1976 CB400/4.
I used to ride it daily, but gave it to my brother-in-law when I went overseas.
He restored it and painted flames on the tank, sweet.
Just google it, there is plenty of clubs and information on the 'net as they are collectors items 
Old honda fours are reliable and sound awesome with nice 4-1 pipes
Sweet The 400/4 is what i'm really looking for. The dude is ringing me back because his old man has one in the shed and maybe selling.
I just sold my 1976 cb200 ..well swapped it for windsurf gear lol
Anyway this one (the cb450) is a twin and sounds effun awsome...twin pipes lotsa crome
We'll see...
P.S. post a pic of your 400/4 i would love to see it
Waaaayyyyy back in '68-'69 I was a mechanic at the Darwin Honda dealership where we used to service all the cop bikes, the majority of them where CB450's (twins) as well for some of the local bikies it was THE bike to ride, till late'69 the awesome (for it's day) CB750 four came out
The motor was basically bomb proof and very reliable except for a few obvious gliches with the CV carbs and ign points and cam chain adj. but nothing serious. But as with all the early Jap bikes high speed handling was pretty scary with at least 2 fatalities when I was there.
Also we had to service all the WRAAF's WRAN's and Nurses stepthrus mostly C50's etc Aaaaaaah dem were d days
what was it they used to sayabout girls bicycle seats
& disc brake was standard
Ok i let the CB450 go to someone else.The same bloke has a CB400/4Reckons its low k's and in mint condition Not sure if it,s a supersport tho..Arranging to view it in the next cupla weeks.
What do you guys think is a fair price for one of these beauties
grab your self a copy bike trader ,the early honder fours are starting to pull big dollars as collector items
Yep they don't come up for sale too often.Thats why i want one ...to ride every now and then and an investmentShould get a good return in a cupla years.
Stribo,
Mine's a supersport, forgot to mention that.
If you want big dollars, say around $4000.
The bike will have to be MINT.
Look for original exhaust system, the original headers on a 400/4 are said to be the the most beautifully constructed headers ever installed on a jap bike as original equipment.
Check for tool kit, user manual, original seat, handlebars, indicators, orinal paint scheme, little details like the fuel tank stickers add a lot a value at the top end of the collectors market.
But what ever you do, don't keep it under covers. Ride the bloody thing 
Check out this mint example!!!

Get something that actually goes round corners quick, and you can park in your lounge room
