From Speed to Super!!

[Andy C]

Fours that is.....

Sold the Speed Four at the end of last summer and apart from financially I have felt like I have been missing something as had that for 2.5 years and really enjoyed the bike (even toured Scotland with Ram from here).

I have been saving for a while now so actually have some savings for a change and since the clocks went forwards and each weekend I have been taking a 2 hour train for see the girlfriend I decided I NEEDED something new.....

1993 Honda CB400 Superfour:

It was brought from Craigs23 off here. He had someone that got in there first before me and when I was back at Easter seeing my parents his was only 30 mins away so went for viewing and loved it!Luckerly (for me) they no longer needed a bike for work so I went to pick it up this weekend just gone.

Done about 300 miles on it so far and is just the sort of thing I was looking for. Not too fast and easy to eat the miles up but enough power to be fun when needed.

Managed to get 170miles before turning the reserve on and gets ~55mpg so far which is ok considering I have been ragging it a little!

Also, the bike is so smooth, gear changes are effortless and is really smooth through the whole rev range (which the speed four wasnt).

The storage is massive, in here is a 1.5m chain+lock and a smaller lock. Very handy to carry stuff I need for the weekend

I won some downpipes on ebay for not much but they are mild steel and so are painted black. Tempted to get a can for it so can have it sounding nice but think is looks quite classic with the orginal exhaust system, opinions?

Nice looking bike

On the ride back from my mate's last night I was beginning to wish for something a little smoother than the CB500, and my thoughts wandered to the 400/4 I had for a while. Although I don't want another ancient overpriced project, I was thinking that a Super Four would be an ideal replacement, as I don't need to go up to a 600.

Selling mine because i've had it for two and a half years and i just fancy a change. I love the way it handles, goes and stops but im looking at getting a dual purpose bike like 650gs or similar so i can do a bit of off road riding.

[Andy C]

[neatbik]

Part of me is gonna miss it, hopefully i wont regret parting with it.
Its funny how you can get attached to a frame, engine and 2 wheels isnt it

[poorboyspost]

But you have really a nice bike though, of course it will not really work the same as you first bought it but you can always change or repair some parts of your bike to make it in a good condition or if you have plans selling so you can be able to sell it in a reasonable price so you can buy a new one.

Real nice bike mate, the Superfour and in particular Craig's Superfour is one of the 90's naked bikes that I really do appreciate, they have a certain meaner look to them whilst being really asthetically pleasing. Compared to my GS, which I've left the keys in before on an eight hour shift in the city centre of Cardiff and no one bothered to nick it
