Best 400

**Blair-SV** · 24th December 2006, 17:13

I notice no one has mentioned the SV400 yet, very rare in NZ but they're great little bikes. Maybe not as quick as 4's but plenty enough go and very enconomical. Commutes well since it handles open road much better than the average 250.

My gf had hers for 4 years of trouble free commuting. But as you can see from the pic, we've upgraded slightly (hers is the silver one). Nothing sounds quite like a v-twin

Honda CB400/4. No doubt at all.

So I am glad that we can agree that this is the best 400 in the world!

Guess this thread can be closed now.

Thanks for your input.

Hmm the good old CBR400, I'm the proud owner of an NC23 model. Great roadbike/commuter! One question though... why so heavy? they have a alloy feame etc but still weigh 180 kilos!!!! most 600's are lighter!

Amen to that. This is the bike that started the whole 400 sport class !!

I owned one once, had 82,000kms on it and still used to crack that ton.
Never used 10,000rpm as the redline, used 12,000rpm !! (hey, I was 19 !!)
Strong and solid. However, used to be a 300/3 or even a 200/2 in the rain !!!

Yea man i change my vote to CB400/4 as well. I had a blue one back in the early years. It was great. It was my second bike. Awsome to ride. Fast good handling and not bad brakes (for its day). I will buy another one one day.

My Suzuki RG 400 is a trackday weapon,eats SV 650s for brekkie.only drawback is availability of tyres but still available if you look hard enough.

I see Mt Eden motorcycles have a nice one in ....
