Honda CB400 Super Four
model year: 2000

roughly 11,800km (7,300miles)

Just gave it a tune up with spark plugs and new battery and the oil was changed about 300km ago, so the oil is till good for some time.

The motorcycle is in great condition, with no scratches on paint (except for a minor chip near the tail light) and no rust on the frame and the engine has very little milage. Aftermarket exhaust has been installed so the bike has a deeper throatier sound and I also installed an alarm system to give extra security for the bike.

All paperwork comes with the bike.

Reason for Selling: I'm upgrading to a more powerful bike.


Asking 3,100,000won Or Best Offer

Located in Seoul, near Hongdae

how does this bike sit??? is it akin to a crotch rocket, or is the posture more upright?

[woody2005]

its not a scrunched up position like a crotch rocket nor up right as a harley. The riding position is a little between the two. Its good for seeing what's going on around you driving through the city.

Where is this bike located???

I'll keep checking back-- I can't buy this right NOW since i've only been here 2 months+...but i am potentially interested. If you still have it next month, i'd like to come look at it.

The bike is located in Seoul near Hongik University. And Im in no big hurry to sell as I'm trying to get close to what Im asking for it because the bike is in great condition for its age. So feel free to keep checking back and it may still be available.

If youre outside of seoul though, it might be difficutlt to pick it up and drive back if youre not familiar with the roads in Korea especially since motorcycles are forbidden on the freeways, so I can also help with arranging for transport outside of seoul if needed.

Cheers!

Yea- I felt a bit stupid after realizing I'd asked "where is it" when you posted that first time.
If you don't mind me asking another question- how well do these bikes retain their value here? I'm planning on staying for a year, at least right now. I don't think I would drive it THAT many miles-so after looking at the bike I was trying to discuss with myself the pro's and cons of owning one. Since this IS a Honda, do you think that when time came for me to sell it, that I could resell it for a decent price- presuming I babied the thing? That was one of my thoughts in buying the bike- that it wouldn't be that MUCH of a liability, since I could hopefully resell it at a fair market value not too much depreciated from what I paid for it. So yea... i hope that makes sense-, in the form of a question.
And I totally understand about wanting to get as much as possible for it- I think it's a fair price. I don't get paid again till the 10th of next month. If after I figure up my expenses and how much I'd have to eat rice for another month, maybe if you still have it i'd like to come look at it in May.
