CB400SF was a legend in Russia of 90's and 00's. After the end of USSR we've got a wave of used Japanese bikes from auctions. Most common road bikes were 400 cc's, namely Bandits and Super Fours. SF's proved to be more long-lasting and some of them are still around. The sound both at high RPM and at idle is something you remember forever

I had a VTR250 as my first bike on lams, which was a nice easy to ride bike but just didn't have enough top end, then I bought one of these. My plans to get a street triple have now been on hold for three years because of how satisfied I am with the bike. Fast enough to make you smile without getting you in to too much trouble, handles well, reliable and is reasonably good looking.

I suppose it really depends on the model of bike. I would say from my personal experience with honda is they *may* have more "clunky" gearboxes in some of their bikes.. but they definitely soften up a bit over time. I personally think that clunk sound is very satisfying, better than some gearboxes where you feel like you are hunting for gears or occasionally find false neutrals between random gears. I'd say it's more of an engineering feature, rather than a flaw in the design haha.

@dalediese Жыл бұрын
That is a really good question actually. I've only ridden the CB650R for a short while but I can give some insight from my experience. Given that the cb650r is restricted for lams, the engine characters end up being somewhat similar between the two. Both weigh about the same. CB650R to me felt a bit more "sportier" - It _feels_ a little lighter handling-wise. This doesn't mean the CB400 feels dated though, it is still a great option even in 2023 and to me personally, has more "character". To me it honestly comes down to two things: cost to purchase and your preference on the styling. If you find a good deal on either then I think you would be happy. Can't go wrong with a Honda!
@cenzofrisina6517 Жыл бұрын
@dalediese thanks so much for your response, mate!!!! I'd buy the 650r new. I have come across some great examples of the cb400, which are still holding their value . (crazy right). which did you find more enjoyable? I keep thinking the 650 is a no brainer. modern, reliable, warranty, good looking etc, etc , but at the same time I can't wipe the cb400 . which you choose today man? new 650r or well looked after cb400?
@dalediese Жыл бұрын
@@cenzofrisina6517 So personally I would choose a cb400 over the 650r BUT that is purely an aesthetics choice. There is a huge piece of mind buying a new motorcycle and the warranty etc that comes along with that, especially if you aren't 100% sure what you are looking at when you are looking in the second-hand market if you are just getting into bikes. Last thing you would want would be a huge bill at the mechanics because something happens to your newly purchased second hand cb400. In saying that, the cb400s are notoriously reliable and especially in south east asia you see examples everywhere with well over 100k kms on them with zero signs of problems. Last thing I would say is that if at all possible, test ride both and see which one feels better. Let me know what you decide!

BUT YOU DON'T NEED ANY MORE POWER IF YOU ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL ON A TRACK OR CLOSED ROADS YOU DON'T REALLY NEED ANY HIGHER CC ENGINE . WELL ONLY UNLESS YOUR INTENTION IS TO SEEK END OF LIFE SOONER THAN A LOT LATER. BUILT UP TRAFFIC IS NOT A PLACE TO MESS AROUND WITH AN OVER POWERED MACHINE

You could argue you dont need more than 125cc or about, 10hp. There are so many factors that go into speed, acceleration and safety. Engine displacement isn't the only factor. Can I cruise at 110km/h (the speed limit) on this bike? Yep. Can I do that on a 125cc bike? Yep. Is it more comfortable on a 1000cc bike? Maybe. Having owned dozens of bikes from 100cc to 1000cc, they all have their advantages and disadvantages. At the end of the day it is the riders choice how they use the power. Single-minded statements in all caps like this don't really contribute anything to the conversation. This bike definitely sits between the sweet spot of "not enough power" and "too much power" which I think is what you were trying to say.. but it ultimately, even that statement is subjective and depends on the application.

I know I am a terrible person. I've learned a lot since then but in my defence this was a 35c Sydney day haha.

Atgatt is fine if your out on the motorways or getting a decent ride in. But when you pull up at a set of lights and within a few seconds you feel like your gonna pass out with the heat I can understand being a bit slack on the gear.
