TheHonda CM450A is amotorcycle made byHonda in 1982 and 1983. It was based on theCB400 andCM400 models (1978–1981), especially the CM400A Hondamatic (1980–1981). It had a 447 cc (27.3 cu in)SOHCparallel twin engine with twocarburetors and a two-speed transmission with atorque converter. It was not a full automatic, however, because the rider had to manually shift between low and high. It is called automatic because there is no clutch required due to the torque converter, and shared theHondamatic trade name with Honda cars that had true automatic transmissions. The chain-driven CM450A had a top speed of 90 miles per hour (140 km/h)[citation needed] and weighed 413 pounds (187 kg).[1] Both models had a frontdisc brake and a reardrum brake. The suspension consisted of two shock absorbers at the rear andtelescoping shock-absorbing front forks. The fuel tank had a 3.4 US gallons (13 L; 2.8 imp gal) capacity. The exhaust was routed through a separate pipe and baffle on each side of the motorcycle, although both exhaust pipes shared a plenum under the motor. It had anelectric start with akick start as well.
