Rider Profile

Best ForA great fit for newer-to-intermediate riders who want a smooth, forgiving four-cylinder sportbike without the intensity of a full-liter machine.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a refined, high-revving naked sport-standard for spirited road riding and daily commuting rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe 755mm seat height and 200kg dry weight make it approachable for most rider sizes, with a manageable, well-balanced chassis at a stop and in traffic.
CharacterRenowned for its silky-smooth inline-four engine, precise handling, and premium build quality, delivering a classic naked-bike feel with modern refinement.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking big top-end power, off-road capability, or dedicated long-haul touring comfort.

2012 Honda CB400 Super Four 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 2012 Honda CB400 Super Four 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.
