The '''[[Honda]] CM400E''' was a twin, [[four-stroke]] Cruiser [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] between 1979 and 1983. It could reach a top speed of 97 mph (156 km/h). Claimed [[horsepower]] was 42.11 HP (31.4 KW) @ 8500 RPM. | |||
==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[air cooled]] twin, four-stroke. A 70.5mm [[bore]] x 50.6mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 395.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead cams (ohc). | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 3.50-18 front [[tire]] and a 4.60-16 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a expanding [[brake]] in the rear. The front suspension was a Telehydraulic fork while the rear was equipped with a Swingarm fork with adjustable telehydraulic shocks. The CM400T was fitted with a 2.51 Gallon (9.50 Liters) fuel tank. | |||
The '''Honda CM series''' was a street bike precursor to the [[Honda]] Nighthawk series of [[motorcycle]]s. It had a 400cc [[parallel twin]] [[engine]] that was [[air cooled]]. Features included electric start. | |||
The Honda CM series all generally resembled the older-style flat-seat bikes like the [[Triumph Bonneville]], with the exception of a slightly raised passenger area seat and small plastic fairings for the battery and airbox. A "standard" motorcycle, it includes a center mounted shifter and rear brake, as well as mechanical front and rear drum brakes. Completing the spartan appearance, the CM400 series includes only a speedometer and three indicator lights (neutral, oil pressure, high beam). While not particularly powerful, the CM400 takes its style from the old [[Cafe Racer]]s, and its handling from more docile starter bikes. | The Honda CM series all generally resembled the older-style flat-seat bikes like the [[Triumph Bonneville]], with the exception of a slightly raised passenger area seat and small plastic fairings for the battery and airbox.
