The BIN is too high, really. It's worth maybe �1500-1700. But I *hate* it when people paint engine barrels, like this one has had. The side panel decals are wrong, too. No lifting handle. No lid for the tool tray. And the seat shouldn't have those silly chrome strips. It's worth a hell of a lot as parts, mind..... -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!

Wrong. There is no F1 model as such. The original bike was just called the CB400F. The first ones had the swinging arm-mounted pillion pegs. They moved the pegs to frame mounts after a few months, but the bikes were otherwise unchanged (although I think the cylinder head studs were lengthened slightly). The F2 name came with the yellow and maroon models. People tend to call the original bike with the s/a pillion pegs the F1, which is technically inaccurate. I shall now take off my anorak, the one with the little red 400F on the shoulder. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
