Honda Unveils CB400 Super Four and Super Bol d'Or Special Editions

Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Honda recently took the wraps off two special edition versions of its popular CB400 model in its home market, which will be limited at 500 units each. These limited edition variants address to both naked and faired forms of the CB400, being dubbed Super Four SE and Super Bol d’Or SE respectively.

As you can see in the adjacent images, highlights of the special edition models include a red frame designed to offer the bike an aggressive feeling, a touch of gold for the front and rear wheels, brake calipers, and the rear suspension, as well as a front disk brake hub in silver to enhance the feeling of luxury.

The white body color has received a sporty look thanks to the vivid red and blue stripes, while various chromed elements offer the bikes a distinctive feel.
