I have been shopping around here in Korea and this is what they call a “grey market” bike, meaning it was originally designated specifically for the Japanese market but has been shipped elsewhere. I have read here and there that it is a great beginner bike and has just enough of everything. Here in Korea I owned a 110 4-speed scooter for awhile, basically a Honda cub with a centrifugal clutch. How do you guys feel about this bike? I personally think it looks pretty rad but I haven’t ridden one yet. I don’t think they’re available in the states but they seem to have a pretty good reputation.

Beats me. Never ridden one myself. Perhaps you can get a test ride on it? Welcome to the forums.

I’m waiting for a guy to call me. If he doesn’t sell it today then I’ll go give it a ride tomorrow. Thanks for the welcome.

A co-worker is riding an ’83 CB400 as his daily commuter in the summer, 50 miles each way. Thing is still rock solid (and aside from the 80s red pinstripe, looks pretty similar). A shame they don’t sell them here in the U.S. any more, I know of at least one person who would like to buy one.
