HONDA CB400SF Super Four (2001-2002) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB400SF Super Four was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range, powered by an updated version of the engine used in the CB-1 machine, with the looks of the typical Universal Japanese Motorcycle manufactured in the 1970s.

In 2002, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB400SF Super Four model that introduced a change in the operation of the VTEC technology to trigger at 6,300 rpm along with an updated ignition timing map.

Also, the bike featured an LCD odometer, trip meter, a clock, and a fuel gauge integrated into the speedometer and tachometer faces and a Honda Ignition Security System (HISS). The air intake noise was reduced by enhancing the air cleaner box’s surface, while it packed a lighter and smaller oil filter.

On the front wheel, the bike borrowed the front calipers from the CBR900RR and added chipping guards to the front fork tubes, which increased the overall weight by one kg (2.2 lbs).

In the power department, the 2002 Honda CB400SF Super Four had its soul brought to life by a 399 cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered 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.

For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a Pro-Link shock 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 squeezed by a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
