HONDA CB400SF Super Four (2009-2010) 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 (UJM) manufactured in the 1970s but updated with modern technology.

In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB400SF Super Four, a motorcycle that didn't feature any changes since 2008 but was still a machine suitable for both inexperienced and young riders who wanted an introductory bike, as well as for the more seasoned ones who wanted a fuel-efficient and an agile commuter.

The latest updates included a Honda PGM-FI programmed fuel injection system and an idle control valve that improved fuel economy and reliability, while the engine featured revised materials and an integrated crankcase cover that reduced engine weight by two kg (4.4 lbs).

The optional ABS featured three-piston sliding calipers on the front instead of the standard four-piston and a larger 256 mm rear brake disc, while the overall weight was increased by four kg (8.8 lbs) on the standard model and by nine kg (20 lbs) on the ABS version.

As for power, the 2010 Honda CB400SF Super Four had at its core 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.
