HONDA CB400SF Super Four (1995-1996) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB400SF Super Four was a standard motorcycle presented in 1991 at the 29th Tokyo Motor Show and released in 1992 powered by an updated CB-1 engine, tilted backward for a more erect cylinder bank.

In 1994, the bike received its first upgrades that included the updated ignition timing due to the adoption of the pent-roof combustion chamber design, the internal structure of the muffler, and the cam chain links that reduced the mechanical noise.

In 1995, the bike received more cooling fins on the lower part of the cylinder bank but also came in a special edition model that offered PGM-IG programmed ignition timing along with an electronically controlled valve, an additional headlight cowl, a sharper rake angle, a lightweight aluminum muffler, stiffer suspension, and sintered brake pads.

In 1996, the bike featured new front discs with a reduced tendency to warp and four-piston calipers for improved braking response. Also, a special edition Super Four S model was added by the manufacturer that featured a Brembo braking system and Showa suspension.

In the power department, the 1996 Honda CB400SF Super Four had its heartbeat set by a 399cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by four carburetors that helped deliver an output power of 53 hp with maximum strength at 10,000 rpm and 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,500 rpm.
