The '''Honda CB400T''' was a [[parallel twin]] [[engined]] [[motorcycle]] made by [[Honda]] beginning in 1978. | |||
Having introduced the first four-cylinder motorbikes for the 350; 400; 500; 550 and 750 -classes, Honda seemed to take a step back with this parallel twin with classic 360° crank-layout. Nevertheless the engine showed to be reliable and sturdy and was to be a long living design used in all Honda's 400 & 450 twins for the next 10-15 years. | |||
The distinctive engine, came with a 360° crank; Heavy over-squared cylinder-layout; 3-valve design of the combustion chamber, tandem balance-shafts in the front left side of the engine and [[CDI]] ignition. | |||
Beside of this, during time, almost classic engine, the CB400T also introduced the so called '''"Com-Star"''' compound aluminum-rims, using tubeless tires for the first time - This together with the other models of same year mounted with the remarkable Com-Star rims! | |||
The rather stubby design of the CB400T changed when Honda short after introduced the new "Euro-line" -design with the CB900 Bol d'Or. In the meantime it was launched in a version with the same design as the [[Honda CX500|CX500]] costume: [[Honda CM400|The CM400]]. | |||
Later was the engine changed to 450ccm in the hunt for bigger torque, meanwhile the power remained the same. | |||
