2019 Honda CBR400R Unveiled

The new 2019 Honda CBR400R has been revealed and as of now, it is only meant for the international market. The Honda CBR400R is based on the updated CBR500R, which was showcased at last year's EICMA Motorcycle Show and gets similar looks, paint schemes and even the engine, but with lowered capacity and output. It is as sharp looking as the updated CBR500R, getting similar lines and design and of course is a faired motorcycle like its elder siblings. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India may or may not launch the new CBR400R in India, but we would definitely love to see it strutting its stuff on Indian roads. 

It is a new model and it gets a 399 cc parallel twin engine which is liquid-cooled. It pumps out 46 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 38 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm, while getting a 6-speed gearbox. Additionally, there is a slipper clutch as standard as well along with a new exhaust designed by Honda Racing. The valve timing has been revised as well. The bike weighs 192 kg, fully loaded with fuel and has a tank capacity of 17 litres. The Japanese Honda website says that the bike has a claimed fuel efficiency of 41 kilometres to the litre when running at 60 kmph constantly.

54d1vauThe CBR400R gets 17-inch alloy wheels with a 120/70-R17 tyre up front and a 160/60-R16 at the rear.

Other features include all LED lighting, fully digital instrument cluster and standard ABS. The cycle parts consist of a single disc brake at both ends along with regular telescopic front forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. The CBR400R gets 17-inch alloy wheels with a 120/70-R17 tyre up front and a 160/60-R16 at the rear. The bike will be available in three colours, which are Grand Prix Red, Pearl Glare White and Matte Axis Grey Metallic. In Japan, it is priced at 7,93,800 yen or Rs. 5.16 lakh. 

The Honda CBR400R will directly go up against the likes of the Kawasaki Ninja 400 and the KTM RC390 in India.

While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
