Overview

The Honda CB400 Super Four, affectionately known as the "CB4" in Sri Lanka, is a legendary bike that holds a special status as the "King of 400cc." Although production officially ended in Japan in late 2022, it remains one of the most sought-after high-capacity motorcycles in the local reconditioned market for 2025. Renowned for its smooth inline-four engine and the iconic "Hyper VTEC" system (in NC39/NC42 models), it bridges the gap between a daily commuter and a high-performance big bike.

Driver Insights

3
out of 5

The Honda CB400 Super Four is viewed less as a daily commuter and more as a status symbol and collector's item within the Sri Lankan motorcycle community. It appeals to riders who value engine refinement and heritage over fuel efficiency. Owners often mention that the bike feels "heavy" (approximately 200kg) when stationary but becomes surprisingly agile once underway. It is the ideal upgrade for riders moving up from the 150cc–250cc categories.

Key Features & Design

The design is timeless, featuring the classic "UJM" (Universal Japanese Motorcycle) silhouette with an exposed engine, twin rear shocks, and a muscular tank. Local enthusiasts often upgrade the exhaust to aftermarket cans (like Yoshimura or Moriwaki) to amplify the inline-4 scream. The instrument cluster, featuring twin analogue dials for speed and RPM, is praised for its readability and classic appeal.
