Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer and intermediate riders thanks to its smooth, forgiving inline-four power delivery and manageable dimensions.
PurposeDesigned as a sporty, revvy naked/sport machine for spirited street riding and weekend fun rather than outright performance or long-distance hauling.
Rider FitA moderate 755mm seat height and 195kg dry weight make it accessible to most riders without being intimidating.
CharacterA high-revving, silky four-cylinder engine paired with sharp Showa suspension and strong dual-disc brakes gives it a refined, engaging sporty character.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking serious touring comfort, passenger-friendly ergonomics, or any off-road capability.

2014 Honda CB400 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 755mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Honda CB400, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
