Part (4/4) Forgotten 40-Year-Old CBR400RR Found in a Scrap Yard... Reviving the 16,000 RPM Legend
Forgotten for decades and left to rust in a scrapyard, this Honda CBR400 was almost lost forever.
When I discovered this 40-year-old high-revving four-cylinder legend, it was in terrible condition. The exhaust system was broken, the engine casing was damaged, and the entire motorcycle showed years of neglect.
But beneath all the damage, the heart of this machine was still alive.
In this restoration, I completely rebuilt this CBR400 from the ground up — restoring the engine, rebuilding the carburetors, repairing damaged parts, refreshing the chassis, replacing worn components, and bringing this legendary 16,000 RPM machine back to its former glory.
After decades of silence, this forgotten Honda is ready to roar again.
Thank you for watching this motorcycle restoration journey.
