The Honda CB400T was a motorcycle manufactured by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Honda, known as the Dream in the UK market, which was also available in a 250cc version for licensing reasons and as the Hawk in the US market, where it was available in three different versions.

The CB400TI Hawk 1 was the budget model that came with both front and rear drum braking units and spoked wheels with chromed rims, the CB400TII Hawk 2 was the sport model with similar specifications as the UK model and aluminum wheels with a brake disc on the front, and the CB400A Hawk Hondamatic that featured a two-speed semi-automatic transmission with a torque converter and two forward manually selectable gears.

The 1978 CB400T came with standard features, such as cast aluminum wheels, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a round headlight, an analog instrument cluster, a blacked-out steel frame, and a dual chromed exhaust system.

For suspension, the bike packed a telescopic fork on the front and dual EVO shock absorbers with five-way spring preload adjustability on the rear, while the stopping power was handled by a 282 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and a 153 mm drum braking unit on the rear.

In the power department, the 1978 Honda CB400T Hawk took its thrust from a 395cc four-stroke parallel twin air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 34 hp with maximum strength at 9,500 rpm and 29 Nm (21 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,000 rpm.
