My bro had a CX in the mid 80's in Japan. Here's a pic. Which one do you think it is? I just bought my old one and had no idea he used to have one!

Where did he live at the time? That looks like a later non-US Standard. By the wheels, it could be a Deluxe with the headlight cowl and turn signals from a Standard.
The tank could go either way. Was that graphic scheme stock in any market?

Japanese home market? Maybe he was stationed overseas, and the pretty girl on the back was a local.

EDIT: I missed "in Japan."

Most of the pages at Motorcycle Specs are pretty good. I guess they just goofed on this one. Did you contact them to let them know about the errors?

My official title is "Sidecar" Bob.
I did send a message but it might carry more weight if several people do.
Appears to have largely been rectified.
But front bakes are listed as single disc (2 piston).
Dunno if the dual was optional...or to assume it was std......they did include pics of other GL400 on the pages like the custom....
