1980 Honda CM400
 
Found a guy on craigslist with a nice looking cm400, has 20k on it, says it runs perfect and he is asking only $400, pretty sure thats a great price, what do you guys think? should i be worried about the 20k miles on it?

I want to make it a cafe racer, or bobber for fun. going to check it out this weekend!

Good bike ,good price ,nothing really goes wrong with them if you change the oil in it and just keep up with the usual maint .I can see a bobber out of that puppy easy .

You have my full attention. :D


That's a good price, and I wouldn't worry about the mileage. My vote (if I were to get one) would be a simple brat with a flat seat. Another member here posted about using a few layers of a yoga mat that was subsequently upholstered, to produce a very comfortable, yet thin seat.


I love the Comstars.

Well i bought it! I plan to start by getting a flat seat put on it, Hoping i can find one that will fit properly. I do have to saw off the part underneath the seat that secures the stock seat, it sticks up a good couple of inches.

I will post pictures once i am home.

Those are very dependable bikes. It looks to be in good condition also.
