'22 Honda CB400 Super Four 【First Impression】

[@arnold14mendoza]

This bike is a legend. I have one a Cb400sf Revo 2020 limited Silver. and I'm keeping it for a lifetime. When the VTEC hits, Man no one can replace that. ❤️

[@WilliamInJP]

So sad they didn’t make a new version of it, Honda actually just announced the discontinuation of this and the VFRs two days ago, goodbye to a legend.

[@brianmilligan1787]

I'm so jelous I live in Ireland and you Can't get them here I have a donkey and cart at moment but no Revo it's more like a Ehh ahaa there's just not Enough carrots in it So I plan on getting rid Of it well I call it it Old Revo has to go.

[@Fortis_1337]

Great video, this is the first bike I've owned. Just got mine used last year and the news of its discontinuation was kinda sad but expected. I intend to hold onto it for as long as possible, really love the exhaust note especially with an aftermarket exhaust.

[@WilliamInJP]

Thanks for the complement! I am really leaned towards getting one myself. Have myself on my dealer’s list and would be able to grab one in September.

[@ikaustralia]

Thanks for the video! It was sold in Australia until 2015...

[@WilliamInJP]

Looks like lots of Aussie fans for the CB!

[@yuridaman]

And south east Asia.

I have an NC42... this bike puts context to the saying '(it's better) riding a slow bike fast v's a fast bike slow'. If you have some riding skill, this bike is such a great experience. Beginners looking at newer, expensive and cheaper built twins that look track ready with their crazy fairings, must be uninformed not to try this imo. On paper, it's a mistake to judge it on specification alone. Honda got it right... and you are right... there is no need to change. The 400 punches above it's weight (a quick, very willing 400) and acts like a bigger capacity bike in that v-tec range. They made it so good, simple and fit for purpose.

[@WilliamInJP]

So sad this is the end of the line, was hoping for a refresh after EU5, but no we didn’t even get a final edition😭

[@hello.gumption]

@@WilliamInJP It is sad. There is something special about the CB400 range. It just hits the sweet spot as an enjoyable motorcycle (ease of use, able to grow with rider, performance in-line 4, simplicity, durable, cheap, aftermarket support, big 18L tank). I'm not sure if Japanese companies are interested in small performance bikes now that an ecu module can be detuned / or throttle input modified to suit all riders. I hoped for Honda to simply trim the weight, stiffen the front fork and just stay with the same recipe, giving us a hyper vtec 400 for years to come... It probably costs too much to have the 300 single, 650r and 400 competing for sales. A future classic for sure.

[@WilliamInJP]

@@hello.gumption Used bikes are already more expensive than MSRP, a classic bike for sure. Fingers crossed for the Kawasaki Z400RS rumours to be true.

[@faiz4115]

Most singaporeans loves this bike! Its everywhere here in Singapore.

[@WilliamInJP]

This bike suits asia so SO well, I find it hard for a motorcycle enthusiast to not like it!

[@gordonshamwey5041]

My pipe dream, which I dream about very often... Everything about this bike is beautiful and perfect. What a pity that I have already lived most of my life and my dream will never come true. Here in Ukraine, I didn’t even see my dream... I looked and imagined myself on this bike... This sound... The wind... These most beautiful shapes of this bike, all this is simply mesmerizing... It really hurts me that it's not me...

[@WilliamInJP]

Don’t give up yet, there is always the chance. Rumours for a new model is there, and circumstances may improve!

[@gordonshamwey5041]

@@WilliamInJP Thank you very much for your kind words of support. But we are at war now in Ukraine. Russian savages came to kill us, destroy our homes. They steal our children and take them to Russia. About 700 thousand have already been taken away. This is savagery in the 21st century!!! It’s very difficult for us now and we need to think about how to survive. Therefore, my dream will remain just a dream... Thank you very much again for your support. Good luck

[@WilliamInJP]

@@gordonshamwey5041 Good luck to you too, you folks need it way more than I do. Again I hope, and believe, circumstances will change

[@MVR4444]

Great video plus very informative. Thank you💖

[@WilliamInJP]

Thanks you!

[@aumkar2]

An icon. A Legend. In the next 20-40 years, people will cry and miss machines like this. We are enabling Manufacturers to make crap, Honda itself has become a joke today.

[@WilliamInJP]

A new version will come, no worries Just give them a bit more time

[@mamangago]

how about Kawasaki GPZ 400R, did you happen to see it there, if their still running?

[@WilliamInJP]

A bit more rare but yes they are still kicking and screaming

[@mamangago]

@@WilliamInJP good to hear that boss.

[@WeeFreeMan78]

This is one stunning little thing! I am about to pull the trigger on an extremely well maintained 2004.model 🤗

[@WilliamInJP]

great bike, I suggest getting the revo (2007+) model though, a bit more performance.

[@WeeFreeMan78]

@@WilliamInJP Unfortunately in my country we have up to 2004 models. Shame cause I'm drooling over the latest models every time I see one in a video

[@WilliamInJP]

@@WeeFreeMan78 that’s unfortunate, but still the older ones are great too

we have the S4 spec 1, 2, 3 and revo 1, 2, 3 and 4... in singapore.

[@WilliamInJP]

yeap it did have many iterations

[@FtanmoOfEtheirys]

It's no B18c5, but it's still a vtec :)

[@WilliamInJP]

Indeed!

[@stensballe3683]

ya these are crazy rare in europe 😔

[@WilliamInJP]

Honda stopped exporting them way too early

[@dougmaverick3287]

Why didn't you rev it out to 15,000 RPM, that's the whole point of a high-revving inline-4...?????? The highest you went was like 9,000 rpm, come on buddy.

[@WilliamInJP]

A) Max power happens at 11k, max torque at 9.5k. It actually doesn’t rev as high as you mentioned B) I am on a public road, don’t want to do silly speeds

[@raimundocastelo3893]

360

[@hex_surfer4588]

Is only my impression or Japanese roads are overloaded with information? Seems more complicate than average european road.

[@WilliamInJP]

I tend to agree, there are "sub-signs" for signs lol

[@hex_surfer4588]

@@WilliamInJP It can explain why they are so strict with motorcycle driving licences - narrow roads, lot of traffic, lot of intersections, rain, snow during winters. You need to pay attention constantly. I live in Spain and everything is easier here.

[@WilliamInJP]

@@hex_surfer4588 Yes and no. In the cities definitely, but Japan has a huge de-population problem, when you go to the country side there is nobody.

[@GhettoSuguru]

Do a comparison with the z900rs at least that bike is still in production . Compared both of them in comfort and everything else

[@WilliamInJP]

Pretty big difference in capacity though, will definitely try it out sooner or later

[@GhettoSuguru]

@@GhettoSuguru I see no advantages for carbs, unless you want to do your own service.
