Honda CBR400R, maybe in europe

[RhynoCZ]

I've just read an article about the bike at Czech motorcycle forum and Honda is actually considering selling it in europe for about 4300-4700GBP.
Liquid cooled four stroke twin, 400cc, 46hp at 9500rpm with 38Nm of torque at 7500rpm. Weight (including oil, coolant, brake fluids): 192Kg. Tank: 14L. + optional ABS.

Thoughts:I don't know why, but it somehow looks better than the 500, even though it's the same thing. I think the CBR400R does the job. At first I thought, finally a in-line four, but then I realized one R was missing.

+ It's got the same power with less cc = more revs = more fun I'd say. Shame on its identical weight though

Imho it is to heavy and could do with an extra 20% more power. The 20 year old CBR 400 is about the same wet weight (off the top of my head) and about ten bhp more than the 'new' version.

14bhp down and 10kg up on 400cc bikes made 25 years ago

When will they understand we all want another feather weight 400 revving to a bazillion rpm, completely impractical, but they'd sell loads!

Spend all day nailing it, staying pretty much under speed limits and it'd sip fuel.

The only problem here is that it is missing 2 cylinders.

Well, it's Honda which means it's powered by dreams, so dream on

There are brand new 400cc in-line fours on the market, not sure if they sell them in europe though. Youtube is full of 400cc in-line fours, so someone still has got to make them

I once saw a Ducati SS350 and Katana 250 near the place I live for sale, but I had no money back then. That katana would had been great.

This is my curse, anytime I've got aplenty of money, there's nothing I'd like to buy and when I finally buy something then there are tons of interesting bikes I'd like to have, but the money's gone

Is that a proper native 400 then and not some down-sleeved imposter like the "Ninja 400R" (e.g. an ER6f with ickle pistons)?

I can't really see the point, it's exactly the same A2 friendly power and weight as the "CBR500R", it'll just need worked harder to get the same performance and will likely cost more to run as a result. I guess some folk like that, but if you do then wouldn't you go for a Ninja 300 and really show it the whip?

The performance, weight, styling, almost the price to lol... everything is almost identical to a CBR500R accept for the cc and price, both slightly lower.

If this goes on, there will never be a new bike that I'd like
