Back with a new bike. Cb400 super four - version r

[oJaXo]

Finally got my ass back on a bike again after selling my hornet last year and picked up a cb400 super four version r this weekend as it was a bargain! Need's tidying up here and there but overall im pretty chuffed with it. Plan's so far are - new can, change plate, tail tidy, renthals.

Here's some pic's after de-stickering, washing and polishing!

Before anyone asks, there's a front headlight fairing already bought and on the way for it

Nice one (well it will be when you ditch the front fairing thingy).

Pretty sure I saw this baby for sale on MCN or Autotrader bikes earlier?

Was it this one on ebay by any chance?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SOLD-1995-HONDA-CB400-Version-R-SOLD-/120745918643?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item1c1d0480b3#ht_536wt_932

Nice example of a bike you got there for 850 quid.

CBR400RR ones should fit (I think you'll want an NC23 one not NC29, the hole placement is different) as these use a detuned CBR lump

Update -
Got a new exhaust on and it sounds and looks a million times better. Ixil titanium .
Also got my new headlight fairing today, trial fitted and i reckon it looks pretty tidy with it. Going to get it sprayed up soon

1983 called and asked if you'd seen their headlight?

It does look better with that top fairing on and the exhaust looks alright, the best features of the bike are how clean it is, and the colour

[P.]

Get a single round light and put it on, that is a hideous front light

The rest though

[swiftb]

id get that surround painted and keep it along with the headlight so you can sell it in original spec, then do something along the lines of this

[GREENI3]

Ditch the square head light and get a round one.

Maybe a screen as well.

[oJaXo]

Ok, well at least that looks better than the numberboard for the moment , il definitely order a round headlight up when ive got some spare dosh

Looks 1000x better than the number board, you got that right.

But save you ££ for a round headlight & ditch that fairing!!

Ooo Ooo Ooo, can I join the Superfour appreciation thread?

[instigator]

Whats the difference between the superfour and the older cb1? I guess the engine in the superfour doesn't have gear driven cams? I have the older cb1 and there's absolutely nothing i want to do to it, i particularly love the standard exhaust on it - sounds immense?

[craigs23]

I found the Superfour a bit more relaxed than the CB1. More pratical too (the boot space puts even a Blade to shame), not to mention easier to work on, with a better tank range.

It does lack the frisky edge of the CB1 though, as it's coming at the 400 scene a little differently. On paper there's hardly anything in it though, both make around the same power and offer similar handling.

I tend to think as the CB1 as a scaled down unfaired little sportsbike, whereas the Superfour feels like a scaled down CB1300.

[salty21]

In on the superfour thread

https://www.bikechatforums.com/files/rsz_photo0165_1_.jpg

im also with the round headlight brigade, never been a fan of naked bikes with a front fairing personally

so whats the difference between the version R and my plain old superfour?

nice looking bike, round headlight's definitely suit these better

So far all i can find out the difference between the version r's and the normal super fours are the orange paintwork and some "version r" stickers

cheers

[salty21]

after a game of spot the difference there are quite a few differences, ones i can see are:

pillion peg/exhaust hangers
airbox
carbs
engine casings
superfour logo on tank
shocks

I have got a CB400SF, not bad for what is "only a 400" I love the way cars get smaller in the mirrors"
