In 1998, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB400SF Super Four, a standard motorcycle that had its debut in 1992 and with a retro design that embodied the typical Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM).

First introduced in 1991 at the 29th Tokyo Motor Show, the bike was a 400cc version of the CB1000 Super Four with an engine similar to the one used by the early CB-1 model, tilted backward for a more erect cylinder bank.

For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a Pro-Link monoshock absorber on the rear, while the braking power was handled by two 296 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

As for performance, the 1998 Honda CB400SF Super Four packed 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.

Also, the bike came with standard features that included a dual seat, an analog instrument cluster, lightweight black-finished cast aluminum wheels, a chromed exhaust system, a blacked-out steel frame, a round headlight, and a wide handlebar.
