With the introduction of the CB400F the F also stood for a 4-in-1 exhaust. The CB400F is particularly known for its well shaped 4-in-1 Exhaust header.
Model history:
1975-1977 CB400F
1976 CB400F1

Besides regional and color changes there have been basically 2 versions of the CB400F.
The first has 'Active suspension'. The pillon footpegs are mounted on the rear swing arm.
Thus the pillon can actively assist the rearshocks, which can be useful as the standard shocks are slightly to soft.
The second version has the pillon footpegs mounted on a(n) (extra) frame pipe. This version was only produced for the European market (European direct sales, England, France, Germany, Sweden). It was introduced in 1976 as a CB400F model and it was also applied in the CB400F2.
