Default My new bike...what do you guys think?

So after a while of searching, I found this baby for sale. I took it for a spin, and really liked it. A couple days later (today), I was signing it.

It's a Honda CB400 Super Four (NC31). I'm loving it, it was a nice change from the dual sports to a street bike, the bike is awesome. I have to get used to the powerband and handling (no more hitting speedbumps at full throttle lol). I'm going to ride the **** out of it

Here's a shitty exhaust clip:

Year? Miles? What exhaust?

Congrats!

You sir, waste no time. Congrats on the purchase!

If you sell this one in a month or two, I shall dub thee Big Pete #2.

Thanks man!

It's registered as a 2002, but it is somewhat older than that, it's a grey import bike. It has aprox 10k miles and it came with what appears to be a full DIC system (exhaust+header). The thing SCREAMS from 6k until redline (near 14k)

According to specs, it has aprox. 53HP and weighs near 370 pounds.

It was so frustating being without a bike, I was going crazy

And maybe I could sell it later on, if I find a motard I like within my price range

Thanks for all the comments guys It's so much faster than my previous bike lol, it's kinda scary at the beginning.

Awsome bike, just took saw the bike in person, pictures do not do it justice, and the sound is just great. It has about the same specs as my GS500, but I saw myself falling behind on every straight, once leo gets to ride the curves with confidence im getting pWn3d all the time lol, maybe its under-rated by honda but to me it seems somewhat more powerfull than 53 hp. Anyhow, it seems like a great machine.

I really like it, and its in mint condition

We can get a photoshoot of the so similar yet so diferent bikes some day soon.
