    Καλημέρα από Ελλάδα,είχα αυτή την υπέροχη μηχανή από το 1980-1995.Τέτοια μηχανή δεν βγαίνει πια.Χοντα τα καλύτερα μέταλλα,κάποτε έκανα 5500 χιλιόμετρα σε ένα μήνα,το γύρο της Πελοποννήσου.Δεν έλεγε όχι σε τίποτα.

    I owned a 1986 one ( silver grey with blue graphics) . Had it fully redone though painted in piano black with blue graphics. It looked truly nice. Unfortunately, I never got to fix what seemed to be an eternal condition of being a constant oil leaking engine. Finally, that problem got over my nerves and sold it away. It was a comfy though rather slow ride. The engine sound when accelerating has an unique whizz to it. One thing I noticed in this video is that the rear mudguard is missing a plastic extension. My bike didn't have it either, but I got it from a motorbike scrapyard.

    Very sharp; I had a silver one back in 79 and it went like...a Dream! 👍

    I remember being given a ride on the back of a 250 Superdream in 1978 and being amazed at the acceleration.

      Your memory may be a bit wonky, the first time I rode a Superdream I thought it had a flat tyre. I had a couple of Superdreams and several Cb250Rs's over the years. The RS was miles better.

    I had a red one in 79 with a colour matched Invader Cockpit Fairing with matching Decals.
    I even had, or still have, the red and blue Honda Paddock jacket. Maybe some may have
    thought I looked a right pratt, but I loved riding my 250 version, which was basically the
    same bike, but with sleeved down cylinders, and a single disc up front.

      Just wondered with such a low mileage, why did it need a paint job? Was it left
      outside, or stored away for years in a Barn or a Shed?

    Well done on this beautiful condition 400N Super Dream!
    I am picking up exactly the same bike (1980 blue 400N) from a dealer local to me this week.
    My bike is in very nice, all original condition, the paint is too good to warrant a respray, hopefully a deep paint treatment with a wax polish will make it gleam.
    The engine is clean, but will need a lot of elbow grease and time to get it anywhere near as shiny yours, but I am looking forward to trying to get it as close as I can to your stunning bike!
    Thank you for the inspiration!
    Cheers 🍻

  • @arthurdanielles4784
    @arthurdanielles4784 2 роки тому

    Owned one of these for almost two years. My mate had the 250 version and trying that out revealed just how bad it was against the power of the 400N. It sucked so much that my mate after a run on my 400N begged me to sell it to him.. which eventually I gave in and did.👀 I learned a real lesson from that experience. Even today the 125cc machines remind me of that 250N.. worse still is just how much money they cost.. I mean a 125cc today that is.. at least he could get over 65mph from his at a push.. the 400N could deliver a steady 70 to 80mph no problem..👍 The early 400N suffered from oil deprivation so they added in a pipe from the sump to recirculate it to the upper systems.. SO something to be wary of when purchasing a second hand vintage motorcycle of that era.. 80s et Overall maintenance was fairly easy. Chain and sprocket changes easy including chain adjustments et. 👍Fuel economy was more than acceptable. You did have to remember to change over from the normal to reserve IF and when needed. For its time a great machine. Yes I carried a pillion for many years that I owned the 400N. 😉

    I had a 250 superdream back in 88 always wondered if the 400 fits straight in the 250 frame? They sort of emulate the cb900f in shape though obviously a twin .

    I bought a 250 of this exact bike (black) it had been chopped n changed a fair bit 2/1 Leo Vance exhaust system, and some other stuff changed, foot pegs & levers, I thought this goes pretty quickly for a CB250 then one day I noticed cast into the fins 400CCM. . It had an engine swap but never changed on the book, it ran great, gears and clutch like a Swiss clock, great MPG, couldn't fault it, then it got stolen and wrecked, what a waste...

    I assume you meant 1981 not 91 this was the NB400NA
    In April 1982 I bought the same bike but was the NB and had gold colour wheels.
    I sold it in 1998 and at age 40 years actually it was seen out and about on the road last weekend

    It doesn't look like a 1981 model.
    I thought they changed the graphics and the wheels by 81.
    That looks like an original 78/79 model.
