Quite a few more I reckon:
CB350S
CM450T
CB450T
Possibly more.....you have the Nighthawks as well - believe they were designated CM450SC etc

Nick's right- there was a bewildering array of US models- far in excess of the ones you have quoted? In terms of engines of course. In terms of the style and design of the bikes as well, then only 2 400's in the USA you would recognise as close cousins of our SuperDream. Then the 450's start all over again.
Let me see if I can do a chronological list out of the official "Honda Motorcycle Identification Guide" as published by Honda USA. It may make more sense? Of course we may have to reference the Beano Annual of 1983 to get it all to stick with Wikipedia....

I've added the CB250T, CB400T, CB400A, CB400 Hawk, CM400A, CM400C, CM400E, CM400T, CB450T, CB450SC/SCL, CB450SS, CB450DX-K
I stopped at adding the 1990's CB Two Fifty with its 234cc engine. Think it may be a step away too far.
I'm trying to get the info box as complete as possible. Top speeds are up, ignition type an and seat height.
If one of you could have a gander it would be very much appreciated. It is easy to make silly mistakes when inputting the syntax.

I have added the differences between the 400N/NA/NB/NC/ND. It is still a work in progress as I'm unsure how much detail I'm allowed to put up as per the guidelines.
I didn't want to spend ages typing it all up for just to be taken down again. Think I'll leave it at this until Herr Eagler comes along!
Again if anyone spots a mistake or something significant then please let me know and I'll fix it asap

Hey guys, just wanted to say that the Wikipedia article has been nipped and tucked to the point where I can says it's pretty much done for now!
The "Quick Facts" section is as complete as it can be. I actually went through the list of what categories can added and filled in everyone in the template that was applicable.
The main body of text has been completely rewritten from what it once was. It has as much technical detail as I was allowed to put up. Motorcycles fall under The guidelines of an overarching Wikipedia Motorcycle Project that specifies what content can and can't be added. I did try to add detail on the revisions but it was deemed too technical.
Thank you all for the support, especially Fungobat and Crouchyuk, it was your magazine scans that provided a great source of references. Now the article has lost its "This page has issues" tag and has been moved up a notch on the "Page quality" scale.
As always if there is anything you feel needs adding or changing let me know.
P.S. I added a link to this site ☺ It may not be allowed but it's the least I could do for all the help you have kindly given

Good job! I think enough detail for Wikipedia- if they want more information they can come here and get it!
Reminded I have details of the first year of US 400 models sorted and ready to put up- but where?

I'm unsure about the American 400's, did they have the CB400T as we know it in Dream spec or was it called the Hawk then later the Night Hawk in it's 450 guise? I'm confused about the CM too, is that just a custom versionm |

For the American market you just have to use the model year as the defining description- they scattered the Hawk name about all over- the Hawk I and Hawk II were selling in the same year as an example. The Yanks have always been particular about model years instead of model names- other way around to us really....

Having had a look around Wikipedia it would seem there are a few pages that cover model 400 Honda ranges. There seems to be a confusing overlap on a couple of pages. The CB series, the Honda 400 Twin page is a glorified list that only mentions the 3ohv family of bikes but disregards any other 400 Hondas, the CM400 page has more information but is lacking any references.
The CB400T isn't great either, although there is probably enough on this site to expand it with decent references. This article is on the WP Motorcycle list so edits will be scrutinised.
Which models did you have in mind Crouchyuk?

I'm just starting to put all the US specific models up in a dedicated thread- feel free to use the information there, but it will take a while to assemble it all....
