Speaking to carandbike.com, Vamsi Jagini, CEO, AMW CFMoto India said, "We have got 400 cc motorcycles, but we want to be very price sensitive about the 400s so we are taking some time. Definitely, we will launch the 400 cc bikes. The reason we brought 650 cc bikes, specially, instead of 400s is for the pricing."

Both motorcycles come with 17-inch alloy wheels shod in 120/70 tyre up front, and 160/60 unit at the rear. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and rear monoshocks, while braking is taken care of twin petal discs up front and a single disc at the rear, assisted by dual-channel ABS. Being a sports tourer, the 400GT also comes with a large windshield, dual-LED headlamps, and two riding modes - Touring and Sport. It also gets a full-colour TFT display for instrumentation.
