  Heard a rumour back then that Honda wanted to stop production because they nearly cost as much to produce as a 750 four. Great little bike and like a lot of stuff from that era you can look after them your self.

  Great, useful review. Could you say also if it is not getting too hot in it? I watched some comparison review and they claimed this helmet was great, but the temperature inside apparently is much higher than in other ADV helmets. Poor ventilation?

  I owned the 550 super sport which I think was made in the same year ( I bought it from a car yard back in the 80s for Aust. $550). It was a much better bike then the old K2 750 I owned and if the 400 is anything like the 550 was it must be a great bike. I haven't upgraded the age of the bikes I own by much. I now own an 82 VF 750 Magna.

  I had a 550 for years, a 400 for the last 10 and many miles all over UK / Europe on both of them. I prefer the 550 on the road as the 400 is a lot more 'buzzy', but in some ways that's its charm. Both are better than the F2 750 I had for a while.

  Thank you for the review, very helpful. I have created a custom map with different colours for land, main roads, minor roads etc to make them stand out and become for visible but it seems that when I view this on my Chigee screen, the view is not the map I have created. It appears just like the screen you have behind you in your video. Is there a way of making the custom map appear on my Chigee screen (I'm using Apple Carplay).

  400/4's, Gt380's,cb360's etc amongst a few others back in the day, weren't very high on anyone's wish list as not much if any quicker, than most L plated 250's. Though I never liked them myself, have to applaud this particular owner and his bike.👏👏 Many more happy rides to him. Great video...enjoyed it very much.🍻

  20:10 - perception was that back then the Japanese were making their frames out of what amounts to water or gas pipe. I had a 750 F1 back in the late 80's and although the geometry felt absolutely fine, if you hit a camber change, raised/thick white lines, a surface change, whatever, at any kind of speed in a fast sweeper it would quite often go into a what I can only describe as a 'corkscrewing' wobble which I was in no doubt was the frame flexing. Which of course is why the likes of Rickman made frames for them which were little different in construction/geometry but of rather better tube.

  Thanks so much for the video. I’m no boy racer, I have two SR 250s 😂 but I think “Hero“ is a bit of a stretch for 400 four owners back in the day. My neighbour Brian did accountancy and he used his to ride back-and-forth to work. More a solid reliable commuter.

  You have to remember in the mid seventies young people didn't have access to money like we do now so the no's of lads who could afford bikes like these were few. So, those that did were hero's to us impressionable young lads who were so amazed to see this new machine pull up on the village green.

  Weren't they really slow, those small four-cylinder machines from the 1970's? I think so. I tried a Suzuki GS 500, in 1980, and it had power like a rubber-band. Sure, it was smooth, but also felt awkwardly lazy. My Suzuki GT 550, two-stroke, was an absolute rocket in comparison...😂

  I had one of these in the early '80s; a fine 'little' bike and very capable. A decent set of Koni rear shocks cures a lot of that Honda wallow and bounce, making for a very good handler. Good ground clearance though the exhaust collector would scrape on right handers, (I was young then) and the bike was well capable of longer rides here in Australia of 500km plus. One of those bikes I wish I still had.

  I bought the first GS750E to come into NZ, in blue. I was 18 at the time. Gave up riding when my first child was born. Took riding up again 12 years ago with a GSF1250, another great bike. Back in the day a friend of mine bought a Boldedor, took my GS for a ride, and kicked himself for not getting one. Nice video. Took me down memory lane. I can understand your enthusiasm. Fantastic bike

  nice review...got the app myself, premium btw, and loving it very much...except for two things...major disadvantage is the fact that the position of my motorbike on the map does not coincide with my real position, there's a significant delay...i noticed you're also experiencing that delay, but it doesn't seem to be as big as on my device, running iOS...minor thing is that the traffic situation is not as accurate or up to date as what i see on other apps...apart from those two inconveniences, it's absolutely a great app...in future, i'd love to see a web application in which i can truly create and design routes, synching them to my phone

  Lovely bike. I bought a 1980 GS550 3 years ago to use as a cheap, everyday, all year round 2nd bike, and I'm very happy with it. It's my first Japanese bike since I passed my test on a CB160 in 1974 (my other bike is a 78 T140V). I keep looking out for a 750 or 850 at the right price, but I doubt if I'll get the value for money I have with the 550.
