Since last March, on the occasion of the Osaka Motorcycle Hall, Honda presented the Concept CB1000F, the idea of a new CB400 Four has sounded more and more force. To tell the truth, it is a rumor that has not ceased since the brand of the Golden Wing ended in 2022 the latest generation of the iconic model, the CB400 Super Four. So we all asked ourselves that I would do Honda to be able to fill in the enormous emptiness that left “the last real motorcycle that was left.”
Honda CB400 Four 2025: A nice tribute on your 50th birthday
Once again, it is the specialized Japanese media that have raised the hare with the most expected return of a new generation of the CB400 Four. Experience tells us that when they take off some of these theories, they end up fulfilling Rajataba. Its proximity with the four major brands of the country, provides enough information about their plans in the short and medium term.
That is why, in addition to confirming the launch of the CB400 Four they also predict that with it a sports variant would arrive in the form of CBR400R. And it has its logic if we let ourselves be guided by the current policy of most brands where, using a common platform, they end up developing different models for different market segments. In this case, it is more than likely that both variants share both mechanics and much of the components that will form the cycle part.
That said and focusing on the virtual refers that the autoby partners have created, we can see how the CB400 Four would wear some lines similar to those exhibited by the CB1000F concept, although with some differences in their angles and volumes. In short, “An appearance closer to the conventional Super Four series than to the elegant CB-F series … the voluminous tank and the long rear justice should be similar to those of the Super Four”they clarify from the Japanese environment.
Regarding the engine, few details have yet been confirmed. Everything suggests that it would share a good part of the mechanical attributes that made up the block in charge of promoting the already missing CB400SF. Undoubtedly, it should be adapted to the new normative demands in anticontamination. It is also possible that the model includes a version equipped with the new Honda E-Clutch electronic clutch, although all this would still be confirmed by the brand itself.
