Historical and Technical Information

The Honda CB400 Four motorcycle was produced by the Japanese company Honda between 1975 and 1977. This model was distinguished by its four-cylinder inline engine with a displacement of 408 cm³, which provided not only dynamic performance but also exceptional smoothness. It was mainly intended for the Japanese and European markets and was often seen on the streets of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom in the second half of the 1970s.

The Honda CB400 Four became famous for its, at the time, innovative "4-into-1" exhaust, sporty silhouette, and low profile. The motorcycle is considered an icon of the post-war boom in the popularity of sport and leisure motorcycles.
