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. | |||
