CB440S
The Honda CB440S was a special version offered by a Honda dealership in São Paulo, Brazil in 1983. This was simply a CB400 with a 447 cc engine with some imported parts as lightweight crankcase, larger pistons and new suspension arms. [1]
CB400 Super Four (1992 through 2020)
The Honda CB400 Super Four is a continuation of the Honda CB400 four. It is an all-rounder bike, sporty and suitable for learner riders where the low weight and ease of handling can help build riding confidence and ability. ABS brakes are an option on later models.[2] The 400 cc (24 cu in) engine is improved by Honda's VTEC technology in later models.
The Honda CB400 Super Four was released in 1992 as a Japanese market only bike. It was later introduced to the Australian market in 2008 as either a standard or ABS equipped model. The decision by Honda to supply the CB400 in Australia was due to the change in registration laws for learner riders where Learner Approved Motorcycles (LAMs) are now based on power-to-weight ratios, rather than an engine capacity limit, generally 250 cc (15 cu in).[citation needed]
There were only 500 units of Anniversary Edition manufactured. Famous white body color with red stripes.[3] The bike was offered as unfaired model or with a small headlight fairing.
