Honda CM400T description

I've bought this bike 18 years ago when I was 18 as my first motorcycle. It has been and still is a great little bike. Over the years things have been well cared for and either replaced due to wear or up grading. The original color was red but when original tank started leaking where the Honda emblems were screwed to the tank I replaced it with a 750 tank off a bike a couple years newer. I had the new tank powder coated candy blue with a glitter clear coat. Tried to show in pictures but they don't do it justice. I painted side covers with gun metal base coat clear coat because you can't powder coat plastic and there is no way to match the custom blue on tank. Years ago when i had the seat recovered I also had pan widened and more padding glued in to make it wider and more comfortable. It has new tires and battery and fresh oil and filter change. Two summers ago the engine was rebuilt mainly because we had it apart to put all new gaskets in it and figured that was as good of a time as any. At that time it also got a new ignition stator and front and rear sprockets with new oring chain. Over the years any bearings or seals that have needed replaced have been. My oldest boy started on this bike a couple years ago then moved up to bigger bike and now my youngest used it to learn on and now is ready for a bigger bike. It needs to move on to someone who needs a starter bike or a city commuter bike. We rode 200 miles today and it never gave us any trouble.

Motorcycles at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

Mon, 28 Sep 2009

Two weeks ago, I took a break from my regular duties gathering news for Motorcycle.com to fly to Germany to cover the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show for our sister site AutoGuide.com. For two hectic days, AutoGuide editor Colum Wood and I scrambled across the massive 6.2 million square foot Messe Frankfurt trade fair compound, running from press conference to press conference to get the latest on exotic sport cars, futuristic concept models and international unveilings from the automotive world. It was heaven for car lovers, but for me, it meant fighting my way through hordes of photogs, auto-journalists and car show models to get the first photos of four-wheeled goodies from MINI, Ferrari and Lotus.
