More about this bike
Listing details from the bike's own eBay listing: Year: 1981; Make: Honda; Model: CM400E; Mileage: 9,948 miles; Type: Standard/Naked; Color: Black. Carburetor (rebuilt 2025) (in box) at local garage. Ready to be installed. GAS tank was rinsed 3 times with vinegar to remove rust. Maybe one more rinse to complete ? Tank is currently OFF the bike. New petcock needed, about $11 on ebay. Motor has good compression. Electric start only model. 12 volt Battery needed to complete (not included). Exhaust -pipes good. Surface rust here and there, NO rot visible. Easy restore for a person with garage and basic skills. Signals and headlight all good. 90% original except for shop-made sissy-bar by previous owner (30 years ago). Tires hold air, I keep inflated. Rubber is OLD. Location: Bensalem, PA. (19020) location on border with Phila. PA. Clean title (PA.). Title transfer with notary-agent REQUIRED at time of motorcycle pick up. Agent is nearby, not an issue. I will give my telephone number END of 7-day auction. Questions answered within 24 hours. Quite a dependable bike when I ran it weekly from 2007-2018. Clymer manual is here for Honda CB400 models. Crash bars are sturdy, with surface rust at corners. Flexible with pick up times, within business hours 9-6pm.
What the photos show
- Project bike shown outdoors with the fuel tank and seat removed from the frame in several frames.
- Black Honda tank with red and gold pinstripes sits separately and looks presentable on top, with wear and discoloration underneath.
- Speedometer close-up reads 9,849 miles as shown.
- Twin engine and chrome megaphone exhaust are in place, with heavy oxidation on the cases, shocks and rear fender.
- Spoked wheels with drum brakes front and rear; the tires look old and their age cannot be judged from the photos.
- Tall sissy bar, taillight and turn signals are fitted, and a new packaged air filter is also photographed.
- Can't judge from the photos: cold start or running, electrics, tank interior or underside — a Pennsylvania title photo is included, but its details should be verified with the seller.
Money: $575 buys a partly dismantled 1981 CM400E project with its tank, seat and a title photo shown — verify the title details, that every removed part is included, and whether the engine turns over before bidding.
