The Honda CB 400 is the result of decades of hard work. In 1975, the CB400F saw the light of day. It was a model with a four-cylinder engine, which had an average volume. This motorcycle was a lightweight version of the well-known motorcycle from the same manufacturer - CB750. Among other things, the manufacturer, namely the Japanese company Honda, which became the first in this country to put motorcycles on conveyor production, endowed this motor unit with two valves on each of the four cylinders, thanks to which it could develop power up to 37 horsepower. In addition, this motorcycle weighed two kilograms more than the largest grizzly bear (180 kg). It was also equipped with front disc and rear drum brakes and was the first motorcycle in the sv 400 line of motorcycles.
Historical reference
After the public saw the introduction of the CB400F more than 40 years ago, the production and improvement of Honda motorcycles continued. Literally in 1989, 14 years after the first breakthrough, the next variation of the lineup appeared - CB-1. And two years later, its improved version was produced, called the CB-1 Type 2. For sale, this motorcycle was supplied only to the US and Japanese markets.
In 1992, the Japanese released the first model of a modern line of motor vehicles - a honda cb 400 Super Four F2N motorcycle with an NC31 frame. It was produced exclusively for domestic sales. In other countries and regions, it could be bought exclusively on the "black" market and only so-called "gray dealers" could carry out such sales.
But the issue of such a closeness of the sales market for this motorcycle was not only the national isolation of the Japanese. The point was also that this motorcycle is quite popular in this country due to the restrictions on the cubic capacity and power of a motorcycle for beginners in the art of driving. And this model came in handy in this regard, having an engine capacity of no more than 400 and a power of no more than 53 horsepower. But the Japanese did not stop there. In 1995, everyone was shocked in the good sense of the word by the released honda cb 400 super four in the Version R variation.
Distinctive technical characteristics of Version R from honda cb400 super four:
- the presence of wind protection;
- the presence of a square headlight of the Future Focus 80/70W model (previously - H4 60/55W);
- the presence of modifications in the exhaust system, the muffler is already made of aluminum (previously - metal);
- change in the number of teeth of the rear sprocket (45 instead of 42) and gear ratio (2.171/3.000 instead of 2.171/2.800);
- the presence of an electronic ignition system;
- changing the instrument panel;
- change in dimensions and weight, angle of inclination of the fork (from 26°45′ to 27°15′).
In 1996, the honda cb 400 super four Version S appeared. It differed from the Honda sb 400 Version R in the following:
- the presence of a round headlight;
- an increase in the red zone from 13 thousand revolutions;
- the presence of special settings for carburetors designed for large, “sporty” loads;
- passenger side footrest upgrades;
- lack of a central stand;
- replacement of NISSIN brake discs (in later models) with larger BREMBO discs.
At the same time, there is one technical similarity between the S and R versions, which is the integrated exhaust systems, which were the same model used on the CBR400RR of the same model year as more modern motorcycles. Already in 1999, at one of the motorcycle exhibitions in Tokyo, a new model honda cb 400 Super Four Hyper Vtec Spec 1 was presented. This model was distinguished not only by a modified design, but also by the presence of the original Honda Vtec system. She then first appeared in motor versions with a four-cylinder engine. 2002 pleased motorists with the appearance of the next version of the CB 400 Super Four Hyper Vtec with the Spec 2 modification, and in 2003 with the Spec 3 modification. They differed from each other only in the capabilities of the Honda Vtec system, which “ignited” depending on the model at different speeds. Besides:
- the design of the motorcycle has changed: a rear diode lamp and a front lamp with a reflector have appeared;
- a more refined rear part of the motorcycle appeared;
- direction indicators have changed - they have acquired a rhombic shape;
- the gear ratios of the gearbox and final drive have changed.
Two years later, the HondaCB400 Super Four BOLDOR version was released to the market. It, unlike others, has a built-in fairing and an adjustable fork. From 2008 to the present, the REVO version has been produced. Applicable for participation in small-scale motorcycle competitions.
Specifications
We offer you a small overview of the technical characteristics of this motorcycle model. Honda cb 400 specifications are as follows. Engine with four cylinders and 16 valves. The engine is equipped with a liquid cooling function. The working volume of the engine is 399 cm3. The motor has a power of no more than 53 horsepower. Modifications with a built-in Vtec system have an upgraded gas distribution system. Unlike cars with the Vtec system turned on, an additional two valves are connected in parallel in motorcycles of this model. Thanks to this, the motorcycle receives an additional charge of power. At the same time, motor vehicles of this model range have a speed limit - up to 190 km / h. the size of the wheels changed at the same pace as the motorcycle itself was modernized. So until 1999, the size of the front wheels was 110x70x17 (54H), and the rear - 140x70x17 (66H). After 1999, with the built-in Vtec system, the front wheels were 120x60x17(55W) and the rear wheels were 160x60x17(69W). We also note that all the technical characteristics of a particular motorcycle model are described on paper glued under the seat. Each of them has its own code, for example, FIIS, FIIIS.
The main overall weight indicators of the Honda cb 400 model:
- length - 2050 mm;
- height along the seat line - 760 mm;
- width - 725 mm;
- height along the steering wheel line - 1070 mm;
- clearance - 130 mm;
- weight - 168 kg;
- weight (with equipment) - 197 kg;
- tank capacity - 18 liters;
- fuel reserve volume - 3.8 liters;
- average fuel consumption - 4-8 liters.
Dynamic options:
- maximum speed - 195 km / h;
- quarter mile time - 13 seconds;
- stopping distance when driving at a speed of 60 km / h - 13.6 meters;
- acceleration to 100 km / h - 4.5 seconds.
If you doubt the choice of a motorcycle model or the characteristics of each of them seem too “heavy” to you, then we suggest you choose a moped for yourself. Honda Corporation produces an original line of mopeds of its own production, which is not inferior in quality to the motorcycles of the same company.

"Four hundred"!? Yes, they have long become in our country the most massive "moto-foreign" class. Those who want to buy a reliable, unpretentious and relatively inexpensive motorcycle are looking at them. Most often they want to buy a road builder - a device with a universal set of driving qualities. More specifically, buyers rush between the Yamaha FZS 400 Fazer, Honda CB400 Super Four and Suzuki SV400 - the best sellers in our market. Let's put this product on the shelves.
Oddities of being
The selection of models for the test is not at all accidental. In fact, they were proposed by the reader himself, which means the user or potential buyer. Let me explain ... I have noticed more than once a similar behavior of those suffering up to two wheels in used equipment stores. People, like mad, rush between the rows of motorcycles, looking for something prettier and more kissable, asking sellers what, where and how. They refer to someone's observations, publications in magazines and demand, demand ... It's good if the seller is in the mood and is interested in the wishes of the client - for what purposes, where is it planned to travel ...But most often a different question follows - “how much cash do you have?” And everything is decided by itself. But it's not right. I agree, the devices differ in price, but this is not a reason to immediately prioritize. For these machines, although similar, are fundamentally different. In fact, these are three generations of road builders. If you put them side by side, you can consider the evolution of the class. Tiny and traditional in layout Honda (early 90s), “long-legged” and taut Yamaha (there was a fashion for such in the mid-90s) and “licked” man-made Suzuki (quite modern, although this style comes from the late 90s years).
The appearance and "stuffing" determine not only the possible "living areas", but also the desires of a potential buyer. We will deal with this. So, three Japanese "buzzers" are called to the broken Moscow asphalt. You need to place the "small" in their corners and decide what this or that motorcycle is best suited for. What consumer groups do they serve? Are they worth their money? Motorcycles of the same year of manufacture - 1998 were selected for the test.
Where do we start? Oh, it would be nice, of course, with Miss Universe 2003, but, alas, alas ... There are only motorcycles around. Therefore, as a true geranthophile, I will start with the “old woman” ...Dowry
Plaintively creaking with a pair of rear shock absorbers (what an atavism, however!), the “Siberian” resignedly took on my chest, er, no, in the sense, on the saddle, my far from the most ascetic body. It won't be enough! The steering wheel is too close, I move back, squeezing a hypothetical passenger. Honda squats even more on the sirloin.But what kind of mirrors: chrome rectangles, just look, some distressed streetfighter will unscrew it. At the same time, in them, as usual, I observe mostly my own overalls. What did you want? The intra-Japanese model was born in the last century - in 1992. You say that it is not correct to compare it with the young generation of "four hundred"?
Don't tell. It so happened that the consumer votes for the model he likes with the ruble, and they buy the Sibikha, and how! So, we will disassemble the "old woman" by the bones. It is necessary to understand what it still attracts. And the answer, in general, is right here, here it is on the left and right on the gas tank - an emblem with the inscription Honda. Because at its age, there is something here that sometimes competitors lack so much: balance and phenomenal reliability! Soft pendants? But how comfortable the bike goes through bumps in the road.
A pliable chassis, a rear swingarm that twists with a screw when trying to ride “with a knee”? Wake up, mired in the sin of sportbiking! All this is unnecessary fuss. You can even say that the car resembles a kind of Eastern philosopher-guru, calling, first of all, for peace of mind ...
But how quietly the in-line four rustles. And even if they put a sealed and soundproof diving helmet on my head (and I know many people dream of this), at the very first click of the gearbox, I would accurately determine that it was Honda under me. None of the Big Four motorcycle manufacturers makes such gearboxes.
The brakes are quite consistent with the overall concept of the motorcycle. With a calm and uniform ride, they are more than enough. The front fork works exclusively for comfort, forget about sports. Bad at speeds over 150 km / h? Well, here you are again for yours, away from a wonderful motorcycle, adherents of sportbikes and other "liters". Honda will forgive the beginner even the most gross flaws in piloting.
Tikhonya-dowry. Marry one, and she will unquestioningly wash your dirty socks and shirts with traces of lipstick on the collar ... Aged, of course, a little nondescript, but always trouble-free and not capricious. Against this background, another extreme usually stands out ...
Yoke
I will not hide my passions. As a stupid moth flies to a hot lamp, gets burned and returns again, so a man is always irresistibly drawn to everything beautiful. SV fascinated immediately. V-shaped "two", a noble silver color scheme, an aluminum frame with hints of a Ducati birdcage, the engine is included in the overall power circuit, closing the frame from below. Flirtatious chrome lining on the sides of an elegant radiator ... That's it, I can't do it anymore! Want! Immediately and right now in the saddle! Let's go, beautiful, ride. The landing was amazing.Virtually no difference in feel compared to the SV650 I've driven. Everything is convenient, everything is in its place. There is no hint that the device is sharpened for dwarf Japanese. So, the base is 1415 mm - the same as that of the older sister. And only a very small bow towards low riders - the height of the saddle is 785 mm versus 805 mm for the 650 cc version. The model year is neither more nor less than 1999 - a contemporary! And it is felt in everything. Surprised, perhaps, the only brake disc. What stinginess! And yes, it's weird. It usually happens exactly the opposite - domestic Japanese models are richer equipped than European versions. The same SV650 has two discs in front ...
I will also mention this moment. The landing seemed so comfortable that there was no desire to move back. And since there are two seats here, that is, the passenger seat is located slightly higher and separate from the driver’s, the “second number” will be quite comfortable and cozy ...
I wanted, it was, to write about the unique and unlike other deep sound of the "narrow" "two", but no. The motor runs quietly and smoothly, four-barrel, and that's it! Wrong, however. Here you just need a “tuned” pipe and preferably a “forward flow”. Everyone should know that you are riding on a “deuce”, and not on a vulgar screeching coffee grinder. The first hundred meters were simply amazing. "Four hundred" rises from the "gas" to the rear wheel from the first gear! Here it is, the visual advantage of two cylinders! Thrust! The motor "rides" almost immediately, from the very bottom. There are no catches at all. Instant promotion of the tachometer to maximum values.
Wow "four hundred"! A few seconds, and the speedometer is already 180 km / h. Oh, here the limiter worked again! Until these sensations on the same "Sibikh" to puff and puff. And then - once, and already "fly"! I got the impression that it is quite possible to compete with some "six hundred" on it. Despite the fact that the device does not indulge the future consumer with shock absorber settings at all, I can say one thing - this “suze” does not need them. In normal urban use, they are enough for the eyes. Of course, it shakes on large bumps, but how wonderfully the device “writes” turns. Do not forget that he is also the lightest of the whole trinity - 159 kg.
Put the machine on the front wheel the first time! Here is the only brake disc for you. The box works clearly and naturally, but ... Still, this is not a Honda. However, here are the cavils of an aesthetic sybarite. But on this device you already want to “blame”. And here comes the price of fashion. It blows, gentlemen, it blows! On the other hand, no one bothers to put some kind of tuning wind turbine. Here it would be quite appropriate. And you can stop at the SV400S - it has a more athletic fit and a small fairing.
And what are these Japanese cries from around the corner, they say, I have a sportbike engine, and in general, do I have a fairing? Well, yes, of course - the most sophisticated of our trinity - Yamaha Fazer - knocks with its hooves in the stall ...
Asthmatic vacuum cleaner
In principle, for a real Russian peasant, the norm could be increased, but here we are considering the “Japanese”, who, as you know, drink a lot, but low-alcohol drinks. After all, their sake is, in our opinion, just dry wine. Therefore, the priorities there do not fit with ours at all. What we need and for what purposes only we know. And this “need”, it seems, has developed in my head after test trips.
All three motorcycles showed themselves to be completely different and not similar to each other. Which, of course, greatly facilitates the task of an expert in choosing a winner. In my opinion, this is Suzuki SV400.Not only is this the latest generation of "four hundred", which gave him a head start, but the motorcycle is also damn beautiful, elegant. I would say it is for real two-wheeled gourmets. At the same time, the clarity of the gearbox and the suspension settings, surprisingly precisely balanced by the designers, cannot but delight. Bravo, Susa! The model can be easily (unless, of course, the “layer behind the wheel” is not quite brake) to pass off as a 650-cc version. So, when the first wave of admiration from a foreign car subsides, and you want something bigger and more powerful, you will not feel as flawed as, for example, the owner of the Diversion 400.
The issue of second place for me also does not cause any doubt - this is the Honda CB400 Super Four. Yes, it is not as dynamic as the Fazer 400, and it does not have the beauty of Yamaha, but let's not forget that Fazer and Honda designs are separated by almost five years! A long time by today's standards. At the same time, the device actually talks on an equal footing with many of our contemporaries and is not going to give up sales positions. The model is optimally balanced, easy to operate, pleases with flawless work. And there are legends about the reliability and longevity of Honda engines.
Well, the last place is automatically occupied by Yamaha. This is the rating of a sane person who knows how to suppress a demon in himself and does not follow fashion trends. But here I include this “average”, and the alignment turns out to be completely different. It is clear that Suzuki remains in the lead, but other places are changing exactly the opposite. But why do I need this small and slow-moving old rubbish with a headlight from IZH. I want a catchy appearance, comfort and attention. If so, then for me Fazer, on which you can cut through the city every day, and drive out of town, and ride girls in the evenings. Universal device! Isn't that what we dream about? Suspension, motor, say, not those? But this is Yamaha - the brand that we hear about. Yes, and then it will be easier to sell such a one than a specific "Siberian". It's for retirees...
In general, a little confused, but emotionally. After all, this is probably what those who fly into a motorcycle dealership with burning eyes with the only desire to buy a “four hundred” probably think. Quiet, quiet - calm down. Weigh everything well, we do not live in one day. And choose with your heart, as I did.
- Reliability
- Chassis
- Appearance
- Comfort
Verdict
Honda CB400 is one of the most popular motorcycles in its class. This fast, dynamic motorcycle is very reliable and easy to operate. Economic characteristics successfully harmonize with maneuverability and ease of construction. Boring design can be eliminated with inexpensive tuning. Good for city driving and country trips.
Popular model of the Japanese manufacturer Honda CB400 replaced the legendary Honda CB-1 motorcycle in 1992. The main feature compared to its predecessor was the use of a four-cylinder, four-stroke, liquid-cooled gasoline engine. The model is a development for internal use and is not officially supplied to other countries.
Model history
For more than twenty years of history, the Honda CB 400 has undergone minor changes. At the same time, the main units did not change dramatically. So on the Honda cb400 sf model until 1995, there was no fuel gauge on the dashboard, and in order to find out the amount of gasoline, you have to look into the gas tank. Since 1995, the Version R has had a square headlight, a small windshield and a different shaped exhaust pipe.
Motorcycle Honda CB400
Since 1996, the honda cb400 family has been replenished with a sports model. The Honda cb400 ss has a regular round-shaped headlight, the maximum speed is increased to 13 thousand, the carburetor is tuned for dynamic driving. Minor changes have been made to the rear footrests, and the bike's tail has become more streamlined. More tenacious brakes are installed on the model, the calipers of which, unlike the usual ones, are painted in golden color.
Specifications
Throughout its history, the technical performance of the Honda CB400 has changed slightly, due to the introduction of new technologies and materials. The specifications below are for 1999 motorcycles equipped with the Hyper Vtec system:
- Motorcycle weight - 168 kg;
- Maximum speed - 195 km / h
- Acceleration to 100 km / h - 4.5 seconds;
- Fuel consumption - 4-8l / 100 km.
Fuel consumption on this model is very dependent on driving style, when driving at speeds up to 120 km / h about 4.5 liters of gasoline. But if you unscrew the gas handle, then fuel consumption increases to 8 liters per 100 kilometers.

Price
The cost of a motorcycle largely depends on the year of manufacture and its technical condition. Since 1999, the Hyper Vtec system has been installed on Honda CB400 engines, which allows, by opening additional valves, to significantly increase the power of the motorcycle. The presence of a Vaitek engine significantly affects the cost of a motorcycle. Currently, purchase a Honda CB 400 before 1999 for 100 - 150, after 99 for 130 - 200 thousand rubles.
Screenshot of Honda CB400 prices. The average price is around 150 thousand rubles.
tuning
The motorcycle has a classic style, but many find it rather boring and tune the motorcycle. As necessary improvements on the Honda CB400, roll bars and a windshield should be installed.
- The installation of arches saves the crankcase cover, tank and other structural elements when falling. You can buy Honda cb400 arcs in most specialized online stores, the cost will be 4-6 thousand rubles.
- At speeds over 120 km / h, the oncoming air flow strongly blows away, the purchase of a visor for 2-3 thousand built into the headlight will significantly increase driving comfort.
- To give the motorcycle some sportiness, you can install plastic exhaust fairings. It does not give any payload, but it gives the motorcycle a certain personality.
- For lovers of long trips, you can install a luggage case on special mounts. It will cost 6-8 thousand, but it's worth it.
maintainability
How much does a Honda CB400 repair cost?
The motorcycle has established itself as a reliable unit without any problems with operation and repair. The only generally recognized flaw is a malfunction of the relay-regulator. This device often breaks down and cannot be repaired. Replacing a part will cost about 1000 rubles and 5 minutes of time. The power unit is quite reliable under normal operating conditions, but in case of wear, the unit is better to change completely. You can order it in specialized stores. A contract engine, depending on the year of manufacture, will cost from 26 to 39 thousand rubles.
Maintenance
In terms of maintenance, all Honda cb400 models are not particularly picky. As consumables, only the air filter is subject to replacement, which is replaced during maintenance or as needed. When operating in difficult conditions, the air filter becomes clogged, resulting in a drop in power and increased fuel consumption. In some cases, the motorcycle starts to support when shifting gears. The elimination of this malfunction will cost about 700 rubles, you can carry out work on replacing the filter yourself.
Competitors
Sibiha's main competitors are Bandit and Yamaha FZ 400. All models have a similar concept and specifications. But Suzuki and Yamaha have a fairly large number of technical sores caused by the complexity of the design. With equal characteristics, the Honda cb400 is more preferable, it breaks very rarely.
The classic of the Japanese motorcycle industry is the Honda CB 400, whose technical characteristics, as well as driving and dynamic qualities, distinguish this motorcycle from its counterparts. Of course, this bike is not subject to the rapid passage of time - Japanese classics always remain popular.
Description motorcycle Honda CB 400
The internal component of this bike significantly distinguishes it from its 400cc counterparts. The Honda is great for beginners as well as those who are used to enjoying the ride. The perfect combination of optimal engine power, classic design, off-road capability and stability, the Honda is a harmoniously designed bike that has been incredibly popular for several years now.
It is worth noting that throughout the time the classic of the Japanese motorcycle industry has undergone some changes. So, for example, the models of 1992-1999 did not have significant differences between themselves. But the bikes of 1999-2002 received a slightly modified design and were equipped with the HYPER VTEC system. Honda CB 400, the technical characteristics of which began to improve more and more, in 2002-2003. began to be equipped with the proprietary HISS system, which included a chip key. And from 2003 to the present, motorcycles have received even more changes.
Features of the Honda CB 400 model
Specifications make this road bike even more popular among those who appreciate easy handling and dynamic riding character. Thanks to constant improvement and high production technologies, the Sibishka has become much lighter and more maneuverable. Now driving a motorcycle on a turn is a pleasure.
The design features of the road bike, as well as its stylish and dynamic design, determine the popularity of the model among beginners, as well as among those who prefer to ride with the breeze in the city on the Honda CB 400.
As a rule, the "sibishka" can most often be found within the city limits - this is due to its specifics. However, you can often meet comrades who ride long distances, since a reliable "iron friend" allows you to do this.
Specifications
What excites buyers of the Honda CB 400? Specifications. Fuel consumption is optimal - 7 liters with a mixed type of driving per 100 km, 8 liters - with city traffic, but completely new opportunities open up outside the city - 4 liters at a speed of 100 km / h.
At its core, all Honda CB 400 motorcycles can be divided into two types: “in-line” and “non-in-line”. The essence of the Hyper Vtec system can be reduced to the following: after 6000 revolutions, two additional valves for each cylinder are automatically turned on, and the behavior of the “sibishka” becomes much faster. In simple terms, after the 6th thousand revolutions, the 400 cc Honda behaves as if its engine size is 600 cc.
The motorcycle is a non-adjustable telescopic fork, and the rear is represented by paired shock absorbers that can be adjusted in accordance with the expected load.
Honda CB 400 motorcycle engine
Technical characteristics (speed) of the motor deserve special attention. So what do we have? 4-stroke engine with a volume of 400 cubic centimeters, 16 valves and 53 "horses" escaping from under the shafts. Maximum power is reached already at the 11th thousand revolutions. By the way, the red zone starts only after 12000.
What interests a Honda CB 400 pilot? Specifications. Acceleration is the very indicator that is of particular interest. "Sibishka" can accelerate to 100 km / h in just 4.5 seconds. Certainly, this is an unbeatable advantage, especially for a number of maneuvers on the race track. Thanks to the balanced body of the motorcycle and its technical equipment, the Honda CB 400 is very stable in corners and is sensitive to the slightest movement of the pilot.
Advantages and disadvantages of "sibishka"
First of all, of course, about the advantages of the Honda CB 400:
- The technical equipment of the bike is at the right height, which makes Honda the leader among sports bikes on the race track.
- Bike reliability. The body is designed in such a way that with a light "slippery" neither the motorcycle nor the pilot will receive serious damage.
- Popularity. This advantage suggests that spare parts and consumables for a motorcycle can be easily found in any store or salon. There will also be no problems with repairing the bike, which cannot be said about the same 400, for example.
- Dynamic driving character - acceleration in 4.5 seconds, excellent power of the Honda CB 400, technical characteristics, speed up to 190 km / h. Surrounding "Sibishka" will only have time to see off with their eyes.
- Ease of management. Suffice it to say just one thing here - the Honda CB 400 is much more forgiving than the Yamaha R1. And that says a lot.
Of course, in any barrel of honey there is a fly in the ointment. Therefore, we will not hide - even this Japanese woman has several disadvantages:
- Suspension. Shock absorbers are distinguished by their softness, which is especially felt on Russian roads. Many note this shortcoming, but skillful hands can correct this.
- Design. With such internal data, "Honda" could look more interesting. Still, many are inclined to believe that the Japanese sports bike has a rather boring design. Apparently, the manufacturers decided to prove that the rich inner world is much more beautiful than external data. Who knows? Perhaps, soon the manufacturer will present an updated model of the bike, which will have a stylish and original appearance.
Here are the technical specifications of cb400 super four motorcycles by model and year of manufacture.
VTEC models also have SPEC prefixes, more about these modifications:
CB 400 Super Four Hyper Vtec Spec 1 - 1999 modification, VTEC system activated at 6750 rpm
CB 400 Super Four Hyper Vtec Spec 2 - a modification of Honda from 2002, the H.I.S.S. system (chip key) appeared. Now the VTEC system turns on from 6700 rpm.
CB 400 Super Four Hyper Vtec Spec 3 - a modification from 2003, the motorcycle has undergone a slight restyling. The VTEC system is switched on again from 6750 rpm.
Honda CB 400 Four 1992
This is the most popular model ever made in Japan. The motorcycle is very popular, it is made to get the most out of driving. The model, CB-400 SuperFour is a continuation of the CB-1 (400ccm) line, but it is an evolution and made with all the technological innovations and requirements of the modern city. The engine was taken from the SV-1, but it was deformed in the name of improving the torque characteristics. The monoshock has given way to two, the front disc brake has become a two-disc. And also in order to favorably emphasize the perfection of the motorcycle, the corresponding color scheme was chosen.
