Hi Folks I'm Gary, from County Antrim. I help run the Z owners Club in the UK but i have a passion for the old CBs too. Here is a pic of my 1985 CB400N. It has 1090 miles from new, all receipts including original bill of sale from a local, yet now defunct Honda dealership The Honda Style fairing is as ugly as sin and part of why i love the wee bike so much. I'm interested in contributing on here and finding out a few bits more about the bikes in general Cheers!  |

She left Orrs Honda like this in 1985. The Style kit was fitted to their demo bike which i have the bill of sale for although the dealer has long gone. Its only got 1090 miles on it since new but i'm going to use it more as its not doing it any favours sitting. Needed 2 carb repair kit, new battery and fuel line this week. Other than that she's in good enough shape

What boots is she wearing? The originals? Tread pattern looks pleasingly retro. |

Bout Ye Gary
Welcome to the Forum that is a cracking bike you have there and at least I'll know you if ever I see you out and about, there couldn't be too many of those kitted out bikes in Northern Ireland. I remember Noel Orr's they were in Newtownards originally and then moved up to the Castlereagh Road in Belfast and when they closed Kickstart Motorcycles took over the premises. I'll keep an eye out for you and the world's sportiest Superdream Gary.
