Its classic retro-naked looks, featuring a twin-loop steel-tube chassis with twin-shock rear suspension are a tribute to the UJM (universal Japanese motorcycle) era of the 1970s. As the term implies, UJM-bikes were versatile and rider-friendly roadsters that were capable of performing well as commuters or tourers. Many of them also did quite well as weekend scratchers. And they made pillion passengers happy to boot. The thoroughly modern CB400 ticks all those boxes. The engine is a showcase for Honda’s traditional fondness for mechanically complex four-strokes. Honda established its reputation for technical excellence in the mid-60s with its pioneering high-revving, multi-cylinder, four-stroke road racers, its little jewel of an engine that spins up happily beyond 12,000rpm pays its respects to that heritage. Thanks to the VTEC set-up it’s a bi-modal engine that feels just as sweet breathing calmly through eight valves under 7000rpm as when it’s howling through all 16 in the high-rpm zone. VTEC works a treat on the CB400 – perhaps because the bigger donks don’t actually need help to produce strong torque at low revs but this beauty uses the stepped delivery to great effect. Behind the bar you sit in a touring posture on a comfortable seat set at an accessible 770mm. Its tapered front section helps shorties get their boots to the ground. All controls are easy to operate. Clutch action is smooth and the six-speeder’s gearshift action is accurate and easy. Throttle response is strong and crisp and linear, with excellent fuelling in all settings. Brakes are progressive and powerful with later models adding a well-tuned ABS system. The CB400 is a satisfying ride, with decent, taut suspension that copes well with bumps. The handling is light and agile, providing a nice compromise between the stability of a touring bike and the sharpness of a sports-bike. It’s as comfortable in the cut and thrust of urban traffic as it is doing the business through the twisties in the hills. The18-litre tank provides a safe touring range of over 320km. The sophistication of the four-cylinder CB400 contrasts with the more basic nature of cheaper LAMS bikes, including Honda’s own low price-point CB500 and CBR500 twins. It’s in a different class altogether – for which you pay a price premium. What you get is a little thoroughbred that’s great for novices while giving experienced riders who favour a classy middleweight a perfect outlet for their talents.
