Update: This bike has sold to an RSBFS reader! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc I’ve always been a “slow bike [and car, for that matter] fast” kind of guy, mainly because I could never really afford the fast bikes I wanted, but also because I’m pretty sure I’d have gotten into trouble riding something…
Although bikes in the 400cc class are virtually unknown in the USA, they were big business elsewhere, with bikes like the Honda CBR400 and VFR400, Yamaha FZR400, and today’s Featured Listing Kawasaki ZXR400R competing in showrooms and race series for the hearts and hard-earned money of sportbike enthusiasts. Here in the US, it is 600s…
No one is arguing that we don’t live in an era where “learner bikes” aren’t very sophisticated machines, but no matter how impressive the electronics found on modern small-displacement bikes may be, and no matter stone-axe reliable the mechanicals are, there’s something distinctly uninspiring about the weedy exhaust note of a single-cylinder KTM RC390. It’s…
The Honda CBR400 was produced between 1988 and 2000 and was a perfect middle step between the entry-level 250RR and the supersport 600. Don’t let that “learner bike” displacement fool you: the CBR400 was in every way a grown-up sportbike: the liquid-cooled inline-four featured gear-driven cams, a six-speed gearbox, triple disc brakes, and a lightweight,…
Update 3.16.2014: The last time we took note of this CBR400RR was July of 2012, and before that was 2010. Maybe 2014 will be the right year for this one. Links updated. -dc 1990 Honda CBR900RR for sale on eBay If rare Honda’s are your thing, then you got to check out this CBR400RR. Granted,…
As you can see, I’ve passed our poltically correct human resources class here at the RSBFS towers. The seller points out that this bike is great for shorter riders but I’m telling you, the 400’s are great fun for all. We’ve seen a couple of CBR400RR’s for sale in the past few months but this…
Talk about being the redheaded stepchild, the CBR400RR generally isn’t on the top of anyone wish list of grey market bikes. Honda made life difficult for the little CBR by producing it alongside the superb RC30/45 clone, the VFR/RVF400. Lowering its’ desirability here in the U.S. is the fact that it is a dead ringer for the CBR900RR,…
New Year=New Toy: 1988 Honda CBR400RR NC23 Is your new years resolution to add more toys to the garage? Or maybe you need to sneak one in before the new year. Here is your opportunity to get it done: a really sharp looking 1988 CBR400RR. Maybe not as sexy as a VFR400 but the CBR…
