Grittty not pretty build
Lefty:
It must be a sleeved down 500? This is very cool to find out!
wrk2ride_ride2wrk:
Cheers fellas, I'll post along.
Here they released the 400 & the 500, the 400 being more common, mainly because the Japanese bike licence goes by cc class; 250, 400, 400~ and by related cost and differculty. 400cc licence being the most common.
Exactly the same bike, same piston & crank etc, just a shorter rod & barrel.
Seems like always one being parted out localy .. Just about crapped myself when I saw some of the price gouging on US fleabay though

Thought I was scr@wed getting a fork valve but the CBX250 had the same. Loverly little Honda engineers
wrk2ride_ride2wrk:
Made the little beasty road legal today, passed inspection, and took it for a first spin.
Had a ball, really impressed by the torque & and the turn in,
shes geared for the highway ATM, really long legs.
I'll see if I can fit the Supertrapp & XL pipes on tonight.
All good
J6G1Z:
That's a good looking FT!
Did you have a chance to change the jetting & the countershaft gear yet? That will wake that engine up a little bit. As you are finding out... They are really great bikes!
Good luck
