hey everyone. I am writing from New Delhi and need info regarding the CB400T '78-79 model bikes. These are really hard to find in India and I have found one with a running engine(46k km on the odo).
I wanted to know if these bikes were made differently for different markets performance wise. The bike that I am looking at has a speedometer marked at 140kmh/85mph limit whereas most of the text, pictures and videos that I have come across show a 110mph on the speedometer.
I want to make sure if it is just the markings on the speedometer that's different or is it different in performance too? Is there a slight chance for them to have been limited/restricted in some markets while the motor is the same in both bikes? If so, is there a way around it?
I had read somewhere that some bikes had different cams(smaller cam lobes).
 
Different cams, carbs or jetting specs, and gearing. Yes, some markets require the bike's power output to be restricted. Others allow you to use the same name on a bike with a smaller displacement version of the same engine (LS400 comes to mind for certain markets, most of the world got a 652cc version).
