So, is this a "I WILL HAVE IT" that means "i wish i had it" or does it mean "i really for reals am getting it" ?

From the seller:

1976 CB400f. 12k miles. All original,no restoration. I am am 2nd owner and have put on less than 1 mile on it before turning it into house art. NEEDS BATTERY to function. Spark plugs currently out with storage oil in cylinders and cranked over weekly. Gas tank and carbs drained. Tank fogged with storage oil. New tires. Orig owners manual and tools. 3 small cosmetic issues that are hard to see. Comes with orig mirrors and spare filters.Exceptionally clean.

It has been indoors for over 7 years. All rubber with the exception of the plastic tool box cover (pure unobtainium) visually looks good. A battery will be needed. My only concern would be the carb internal rubber o-rings. The carbs were drained and the bike run,until it died, to pull any old gas out of the jets,Overhaul kits are still availiable on ebay fron a canadian source or various websites. The front brake still feels good after flushing the fluid a few years ago.I have only enjoyed it visually (along with an SRX600 in the office) and never intended to put it on the road.

Wow you scored a 400-4! That is a cool machine, one of the Holy Grails of motorcycling.
Congrats!

very cool - usually no matter how clean the tank and chassis is, the switchgear and rubber bits are normally in bad shape or at minimum show the age and you can find corroded fasteners - not seeing any of that here. I can't even see any heat discoloration on the exhaust

score
