HONDA CBR400R (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

The CBR400R was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Honda between 2013 and 2016, along with the standard CB400F and adventure touring CB400X models. The bikes were powered by a 399cc engine and sold only in Japan due to the new European licensing regulations.

In other markets, the same versions were sold with a slightly larger engine under the CB500 badge and similar to the earlier CB500 parallel twin bikes discontinued in 2003 but all-new from the ground up. All the models shared the same six-speed transmission along with other cycle parts.

The 2014 CBR400R sports model came with standard features, such as a full fairing with a small windscreen, a blacked-out engine and frame, black-finished 12-spoke cast aluminum wheels, a chromed exhaust system, a two-piece two-up seat, and a side stand.

For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a Pro-Link single shock absorber with nine-position spring preload adjustability, while the stopping power was handled by a 320 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

In the power department, the 2014 Honda CBR400R had its soul brought to life by a 399cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 49 hp with maximum strength at 9,500 rpm and 38 Nm (28 lb-ft) of torque.
