Hi, I wish you were right, but the CB400 L is a non Vtec version. I was myself fooled by the vendor (Pang's motor on west coast). I happen to learn that L version is a basic version of SF. I also comes with normal shock absorber (not the showa with Gas), no secure key, smaller light, and a few other stuff. The engine is the same as Vtec 2, but without Vtec. I hope this explains.
