Honda CB400T

The Honda CB400T is a range of motorcycles built by Honda. In the United Kingdom it was known as the Dream, whereas in the United States it was known as the Hawk, and a CB250T version was also available in some markets, including the UK and Australia, for licensing reasons. In Japan it is nicknamed Babu because of its unique exhaust sound. It was the successor to the ageing twin-cylinder CB360 and to the highly regarded but expensive four-cylinder CB400F, and although the press was at first sceptical, reviews called it a worthwhile successor, more than capable of competing with contemporary rivals. Its short-stroke overhead camshaft 395 cc air-cooled parallel twin was completely redesigned, with a chain-driven three-valve head, two valves for intake and one for exhaust, and a two-into-one exhaust with twin mufflers.
