Honda CB400 Super Four

I really get tired of seeing really cool bikes that never make it to the U.S. market

Honda CB400 Super Four Special Edition

My favorite exhaust notes are an inline four and a V12. Not likely to get a V12 bike anytime soon...

I think we'll be seeing more of these in the future. At least I'm hoping so...

Now that would look great buck naked.

saw one of them outside the office on Wednesday, had a good look at it, its well nice but those downpipes don't look well after a few winters.

I'd die for that bike. Are you listening, Honda?

should listen to a triple, daytona 675 with full exhaust sounds eerily similar to v12 F1 car

I think it's staying in Japan for now

That bike is weird. It's got an 80's style half fairing...twin shock rear suspension...gold wheels for cryin' out loud!

Anyway, they DID try and sell this bike here...or at least it's predecessor. A CB400 was sold in north america under the name of the Honda CB-1. It failed horribly in the market haha.

I remember when I was looking for my first bike...it was between an old CB400 and the ninja 250 I eventually bought. If you want one of these types of bikes, honda brought a bunch of them over in the late 80's/early 90's.

Of course, there's also the more popular honda 919...which also wasn't that popular.
