I see this bike frequently on my way to work. Its owner works in the office building across the street from my own.
I finally captured it here. It's a CM400T -- it says so proudly on the side cover. I don't know much about the bike, but a few things are obvious. 400cc -- just by the naming convention of the bike. Two cylinders. No radiator.
It has the UJM look of the late seventies / early eighties.
And a single downtube on the frame, ending at the engine block. Likewise the swingarm doesn't mount to the frame, but begins at a point on the rear of the engine/transmission assembly. From this configuration, I can see that it was an early Honda experiment into "engine-as-stressed-member" frame design.
