Lovely bike - I also see a Honda in the back ground! (The front mudguards were removed as people cracked their heads open when the went over the handle bars - dont ask me how :S)

wankedah · 06-29-2008, 10:06 AM

thats a honda c70 passport at the background...

Twincam · 06-29-2008, 12:41 PM

Did you buy a fairing set or was it re-sprayed? It looks lovely and fresh!

I actually have a Honda Cub C70 (I bought it many years ago, still it fires up near enough straight away)

Thats a very nice looking bike..

Surffrog · 07-09-2008, 5:27 AM

K33PY, good to another 400CBR rider on board

Pebbles · 07-22-2008, 5:10 AM

Another newbie here. I've been riding my gixer600 on track for the last year and even though I have some track fairings its always a worry so I have given in and bought a 400 as a dedicated track bike.

It is very tatty cosmetically but I think everything else is sound and it runs well. I have a lot to do I think. No doubt I will be asking lots of questions

...as you can see, its been through the wars fairing wise

but i already have a new engine casing

LoopyLee · 07-22-2008, 6:00 AM

Nice to see you here

I bet she will look brilliant by the time you finish with her..

New to sport bikes and new to the forum. Here's my 'new' (to me) bike, which has been a fun bike when it's ride-able... I've ridden scooters to work for the last three years, and some of my scooter friends (who ride motorbikes) have been encouraging me to get a sport bike and ride with them. It's not an RR but I'm hoping that there's still room for me over here, there doesn't seem to be much about 400cc sporty bikes on the interweb...

ptlcb1 · 08-05-2008, 11:36 PM

Peebles,
Welcome! You are going to have a blast on your 400 on the track! Congrats!

Seth XYL,
HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU WIND UP WITH THAT AERO 400R??? VERY VERY NICE!! Those were not sold here in the States. Great find! Looks to be in great shape! How does the story go, that you ended up with it? Im jealous! LOL

LoopyLee · 08-06-2008, 3:32 AM

Seth XYL, lovely to have you here.. the bike looks great..

Surffrog · 08-06-2008, 6:26 AM

Seth, sweet looking ride!

Twincam · 08-06-2008, 8:08 AM

Not sure why, but that bike reminds me of my old GPZ400R.

Seth XYL · 08-06-2008, 11:06 AM

Thanks for the warm greeting. My 400 is one of the few I presume. I bought it from the second owner, a friend of mine who owns a scooter shop in Cleveland. He bought it and imported it from the original owner who had moved with his wife (it was his wife's bike) from Japan to British Columbia. They brought it with them, sold it to my buddy afterwards, he shipped it to Cleveland and took a stack of shipping documents to the BMV who then received a page for each question... as the story goes. She ran out of questions as he ran out of pages. Voila, Clean Ohio title! It had been sitting around getting stiff and so he offered it to me. I rebuilt all the calipers, cleaned the carbs a couple times (I need to treat the tank and really rebuild the carburetors, if I can find bits.) The voltage regulator then melted down, I replaced it... Had a blast riding it for the next month... then no spark...Now I'm looking for a CDI. Long story short... I'm addicted.

Twincam · 08-06-2008, 11:08 AM

Nice to see we have owners who cherish their bikes no matter what!

Take care and Ride safe

(Dont forget to add some pictures to your gallery)

Surffrog · 08-07-2008, 3:13 AM

Another one restored

Who said the 400 was dead?

LoopyLee · 08-07-2008, 3:24 AM

They arn't dead, they are clinging to life in the hands of loving owners such as us

ptlcb1 · 08-07-2008, 2:35 PM

Seth XYL,
There is no doubt in my mind, that you have the only '86 CBR400
