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.
