1975 Honda CB400F Discovered In Barn.

Found this old Honda hanging out in a Washington state barn. Watch as I get her cleaned up and stay tuned to the end.

[@curtisrc2102]

I bought one in 1977. Still have it and handed it down to my daughter and son in law. Great bike and fun to ride

[@richardrobins6361]

Best bike ever. That was my first bike. It came stock with flatter bars, though. Sexist exhaust headers of any bike ever made.

[@billwhite8479]

Has one 40 years ago...she was great in town and country... Going to get one in the spring...

[@marcmaz21]

Anybody who doesn’t agree that it’s the coolest 400 ever made needs to get their head examined. Those headers!!!

[@kencohagen4967]

My friend had one and I rode it a few times. I loved it! At 400ccs it was great around town, and it gave mean idea what the 750 must have been like. I still want one of those!

[@PeterAndersons]

What a peach of a bike, well done on a terrific find - those things are expensive here now, cheers.

[@johnbelcher7164]

I had one in the early 80s Never had any troubles with it. Had it for 6yrs only trouble forever adjusting timing chain Very Reliable

[@rfw700]

I first saw a 400 four in 1976 when I was 17. I thought I must get one, one day. I had to wait another 20 years, but it was well worth the wait. The bike was everything I hoped it would be.

Loved my little 400F-SS back in the late '70s

[@gerrypetty1272]

My first motorcycle I bought was in 1975 and it was the Honda CB400F and it was BLUE! great bike Never had a issue with it in the 2 years I had it before trading it in for a Honda CB750F. That was also a great motorcycle. But it's like your first love, you never forget your first motorcycle.

[@nigelbowler1601]

Great bike the 400 Four super sport i own a 1976 in the same colour unmolested full history all original get loads of remarks on the road & at meets cheers from the UK.

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

My brother bought a yellow one back in 75 coolest little bike I used to call it the Honda 90 of four cylinders

[@seanmckinnon6649]

Wow good score Front disc and inside the tank look brand new!

[@freelancevt]

One of the smoothest and quickest bikes I ever owned!

[@cadejohnson241]

I just bought an 81 Yamaha XS400 she’ll need some loving but love your videos and they’ve helped me be more comfortable working on my bike

[@returnrider4952]

Can't wait to see how his turns out. Obviously it runs :-) Would love to see it fully restored to original and ride away. I have a CB1100 which is a long way from this LOL but I do love the CB's.

[@t.j.postal8309]

It's a beauty. Would love to find one of these.

[@davidryan573]

Awesome bike, I had one in the late80’s I’ve owned probably 15+ bikes definitely in the top 3.

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

Had one in red with a 4 into one kerker exhaust a set of clip on bars and a most Definitely needed on it steering damper ! Wish I had never sold it but it was starting to nickel and dime me too much to afford to keep it even though I kept it in great mechanical condition!

[@MGL1997]

Love it! I have a yellow ‘76, looking forward to seeing more vids

[@fabiopereira8233]

Me too, i have the yellow one from 1976.

[@johnchildress6717]

I had a 76 400F .light yellow. Was a great bike. Paid 800$ for it when it was 10 months old,in new condition. Rode it it 3yrs ,sold it for 800 ,bought a new 750.

[@oilinmyblood3906]

Yeah I am definitely regretting selling my 75 400 four myself, it does kind of suck now that I think about it but maybe I will find another one someday, but at least I did replace it with a CB750, by the way brother your little boy is getting so big I cannot believe how much he's grown, oh how the time just flys right!!?

[@TheFalloutFanBoy]

I found this channel due to the famous pre production K0 video. After looking through some other videos I see you're in OR and a lot of the bikes in your videos I've seen for sale. The denver chopper as well as the pearl 350f. I also saw your bike at the one show last year. Seems like you find a lot of good finds which is funny because with my bookmarked search we are probably looking at the same stuff. I'm in WA. I noticed this one has a WA plate. I actually just finished restoring one of these in June. Now I'm starting a 750 chopper build

[@mikelackey6371]

What sort of cleaner are you spraying the bike with before power washing?

[@stevetaylor8698]

I remember lusting after one of these back in the 70s. They cost between £700 and £800 in the UK back then but they were still too much for me - I had to make do with a second hand MZ 250. Still a beautiful bike.

[@fredsanke4070]

Best part. Little Boy Mechanic

[@Adibarum]

very Cool Video..and an awesome Barn find....,i had a Honda CB400/4 F2 in blue back in 1981 it had a full race fairing and clip on handlebars..it was my first real Bike and having four cylinders it made you feel like you were on a much bigger bike than 400cc..watching your video made me think about it for the first time in many years....it would be great if your were able to restore yours back to original but it does look like an awful lot of work you would need to do.

[@bobwheeler3686]

I just picked up a 400 Super Sport barn find myself in fabulous condition...

[@RT22-pb2pp]

Some one added tall bars on that blue one none came with high bars they all had very low rise bars as this was hondas first cafe/ sport bike the 4 into 1 low bars had rearset pegs and short shift linkage, back then most shifters were mounted direct to shaft. I owned full original blue 75 400 four in 78 I know these bikes I love these bikes.

[@andyhamilton8940]

I remember trying to line up the carbs and airbox on my 75. Then the carb syncronyze!

[@raybrensike42]

That bike should have been made full size, like at least 800cc's. Same short stroke, hot cam and 6 speeds. Could have changed history.

[@rolandwheeler4842]

Well...do you have a follow-on video of the bike??? Dying to see how it is turning out!

[@shanechaffey9050]

My first new bike

[@RicardoFelippeFigueirachardao]

Amo esta moto! Andei nela nos anos 70...

Выглядит как старый советский мотоцикл который в сарае простоял ни одно десятилетие

[@manstersr]

A common mistake Americans make when removing the screws from the case of a Japanese bike is to use a Phillips screwdriver or bit when they are actually JIS (Japanese Industry Standard) and a Phillips will strip out the head. A trick if you can't find a JIS driver is to take a #2 or #3 phillips driver bit depending on the size of the screw and just grind the tip down slightly until the blades of it bottom in the screw head. Phillips drivers are a little more pointy than JIS and grinding the tip makes for a cheap fit. Also, to recognize JIS screws look for a tiny dot stamped into the head near the X slots, usually towards the center at one of the points. Back in the day, we didn't know why they always stripped out the head of the screws and just replaced them with Allen head bolts because we just thought they were weak. A good thing to remember when disassembling the carbs too. Look for the dot.

[@charliegutierrez8728]

Sweet lil gem. Can i have her.

[@r12001995]

Well, how did it turn out?

[@jeffferguson899]

never put car oil in a motorcycle.

[@KFLY67]

Jeff Ferguson Huh? Dipstick reading just calls for conventional 10W40 engine oil. You know the saying oil is oil...

[@jeffferguson899]

@@KFLY67 modern car oils have friction modifiers in them that mess with wet clutches , it will basically make your clutch slip. back in the day oil was oil, not anymore

[@user-wx2ro1xm6t]

感動した❕❕

[@waynecornwell3998]

I had the same color as my first street bike right out of high school I think it might be a 76 or the tank has been changed because I think 75 didn't come with the locking gas cap because mine was a 75 and it didn't have that and I was reading somewhere they added the locking gas cap in 76 I mean it could very well be a 75 frame somebody put a 76 gas tank on it

[@fonziebulldog5786]

Yeah, i remember my old CB 125K5. Lets hope that isnt degreaser you are flushing straight out into the wide open ??? Hayabusa biker.
