Honda CM400A description

Up for sale is a phenomenally low mileage 1979 Honda CM400A aka Hondamatic. This motor runs strong and sounds great. The Hondamatic system allows the driver to stop and go as well as shift between a high and low gear without having to use a clutch.

The motorcycle has some minor cosmetic modifications with a replaced mufflers, fenders, and reupholstered seat to name the major things. The exhaust chrome has seen some neglect and has pitting on the inner curve which is very difficult to see normally. Beyond this the rest of the chrome could be restored to like new standards. The body pieces are all dent free and although the paint is not perfect, its buffs nicely and looks fantastic especially compared to any 30 year old paint.

As for how it runs, I have never had any reliability issues. Even up to 70 mph the bike is smooth, drives straight and without shakes. At 5800 miles the oil and spark plugs were changed, the brake pads replaced and chain tensioned. In the past 100 miles I have begun to notice a slow leak in the right fork seal, it will probably need to be rebuilt by 7000 miles. Missing is the original parking brake lever and cable. It can be found for less than $50 but I have driven 2000 miles on it and never saw reason to need it.

Also included with the auction is the original Clymer service manual in great condition in case you'd like to do your own maintenance or want to ensure your mechanic follows proper procedure. Secondly I have a JPR X-ring Performance chain ($100 purchase) which hasn't been installed yet but is included.

You can come pick it up yourself or have someone pick it up for you. In any case, I will need full payment through PayPal before it is picked up or cash at the time of sale. Sale is for the motorcycle in AS-IS condition.
