Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I had no idea a six cylinder Honda would turn that hard. I had a shop owner insist I ride a Valkyrie for a day with straight pipes. It was fun for a couple of hours but I pawned it off on a buddy and went back to my nice quite ST1100.
While it was no super bike by todays standards, I had a lot of fun with this little number.
Picked it up for $200 from a co-worker with 780some miles on the clock. Cleaned the carbs, cleaned and flushed the brake system, gave it a new set of Avon Venom's and disabled the oil injector and ran pre-mix (I don't trust automatic oil injectors).
Bad pic, but you probably recognize an RD400 when you see one.
She sat in Nick's garage from 1975 until I bought it in 2005. Once I figured out what I had and had it running I tried to give him another $400 for it. Nick turned it down claiming "I shouldn't be riding at my age".

Music! J.S. Bach would be nodding and figuring out how to use that 6-part cadence in a fugue.
Wow, thanks for posting. Made my day.
There's nothing else like a CBX.

Those things with a good rider were big bike killers. One of the first bikes we had was a RD350.
But this one is faster from point A to point B
