Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders who have progressed beyond a beginner machine and want a smooth, revvy inline-four without overwhelming power.
PurposeIt's built as a classic-styled sport-standard, blending everyday usability with a taste of high-revving four-cylinder sportiness.
Rider FitAt 200kg with a moderate 755mm seat height, it feels substantial and planted rather than light or flickable, so shorter or lighter riders may notice its heft at low speed.
CharacterThe character is defined by its silky inline-four engine that loves to rev toward 10,500rpm, paired with a retro Bol d'Or-inspired silhouette and confidence-inspiring twin-disc ABS brakes.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability, long-distance touring comfort, or class-leading outright performance.

2013 Honda CB400 Super Bol Dor ABS 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 2013 Honda CB400 Super Bol Dor ABS, 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.
