It has all the factory extras - backrest, heated grips, wood-effect dash trim, hand guards
Also special paint colours (flakes and metallics) and different coloured wheels (usually dark greymetallic) and a badge on the back saying "limited" - k9 ones had brown seats

I see, thanks. From your description it sounds hideous!

I have seen one and I cant say i liked the wooden effect dash, it reminded me of a Japaneses car from the 70's

Well aesthetics are a personal thing. I bought a 09 400 and in my opinion it looks great. My Son rides it and when we ride together it gets more attention than my 650 in white. Last night a Girl at work commented "that looks so sleek", about the 400, as I'm her Boss she will be in the office this Morning. The rule is that all Staff admire my 650 - when will they ever learn?
Frank's X10 in white is one of the best looking machines I have seen, (unlike Frank), but I know some don't like the X10s looks. It's just personal.

Until recently the ZA was the only way to get a B400 with ABS. The wood trim was a small price to pay.
I thought it looked a bit daft but I don't notice it anymore.

The paint, backrest and heated grips were all very welcome

I have found a dealer in Kent who sold their demo and said they had to pressure Honda in supplying another because they were so popular.
