Just took F-i-l to look at an '81 Honda CM400E. Super clean, for 30yo bike with 23k on it. Sorry, no pictures. I didn't think to take some when we were there and seller took down CL ad. I'll get some when Dad brings it home.

Is that the Honda with an automatic transmission?

In reply to 914Driver:

No, but it is a very capable small to mid size bike. Mrs. Mini bought a new one in '82 to learn to ride on and I got a 450 Nighthawk at the same time. They were great for buzzing around town and short trips. Ample speed, decent handling, and fairly comfortable. All in all, a nice, practical sized bike.

We'll be getting proper gear for him. I've gotten two jackets and a few pairs of gloves from newenough.

I saw we start a pool on the mpg numbers it puts down.

I'm taking 55mpg. My bet is it will be higher than that.
