Overview

Introducing the 2015 Honda CB400 Super Four, a motorcycle that embodies the perfect blend of timeless design and modern engineering. Positioned within the sport category, this iconic model has garnered a dedicated following, especially in markets like Japan and Australia. With its striking red finish and classic lines, the CB400 Super Four stands as a testament to Honda's commitment to performance, style, and rider satisfaction. It’s not just a bike; it's a lifestyle choice for those who crave thrilling rides without compromising on practicality. At the heart of the CB400 Super Four is its spirited 399cc in-line four-cylinder engine, a marvel of engineering that churns out an impressive 52.30 horsepower at a high-revving 10,500 RPM. With 38 Nm of torque available at 9,500 RPM, this machine offers a delightful rush when the throttle is twisted. The liquid-cooled, four-stroke powerhouse is complemented by a smooth 6-speed gearbox, allowing for effortless gear shifts and a dynamic riding experience, whether navigating city streets or carving through winding roads. Riders will appreciate the responsive power delivery and the thrilling sound of the engine, making each ride a memorable one. The CB400 Super Four is packed with features that enhance both performance and comfort. The double cradle frame provides stability and confidence while the 41mm Showa telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks with adjustable preload ensure a comfortable ride over various terrains. Stopping power is equally impressive, featuring double disc brakes at the front with four-piston Nissin hydraulic calipers for superior braking performance. The bike's electric starter adds convenience, while its lightweight design (weighing in at only 195 kg) contributes to an agile handling characteristic. With a seat height of just 755 mm, it caters to a wide range of riders, making it an approachable option for both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts alike. **

Pros

  • Agile Handling: The lightweight construction and well-tuned suspension offer nimble handling and excellent maneuverability.
  • Strong Engine Performance: The 399cc engine delivers a robust power-to-weight ratio, allowing for exciting acceleration and top-end performance.
  • Comfortable Riding Position: The ergonomics provide a comfortable ride, suitable for both commutes and longer journeys.

Cons

  • Limited Availability: The CB400 Super Four is primarily sold in Japan and Australia, making it less accessible for other markets.
  • Moderate Power for Highway Cruising: While great for city riding, some may find the power output less than ideal for sustained highway speeds compared to larger sport bikes.
  • Basic Instrumentation: The instrument cluster may lack advanced features found in modern motorcycles, which could be a consideration for tech-savvy riders.
