Yes. The classic CB400 Super Four line is largely discontinued in most markets, though a few regional markets may still offer limited 400cc options or used-bike opportunities. For new-bike buyers, Honda’s current lineup generally centers on the 500cc class instead.
What counts as the CB400?
The CB400 family has included several models over the years, most prominently the CB400 Super Four (often abbreviated as CB400SF) and various CB400 variants. These bikes occupied the 399–400cc category and were offered in multiple generations and market-specific forms. Over time, Honda phased out these 400cc models in favor of newer platforms, particularly in regions where the 500cc class now serves as the mainstream middleweight option.
Generational notes
Different generations and market introductions meant that some regions saw long-running CB400s, while others received shorter production runs or regional variants. The latest widely known CB400SF iterations have largely ceased production in favor of newer designs in most markets.
Current market status by region
Current market status by region for new bikes is as follows:
- North America: Honda no longer sells the CB400 new; the CB500 family occupies the mid-displacement slot, with the 400cc class largely represented only in the used market.
- Europe: The CB400SF and related 400cc models are not sold new; buyers typically consider the CB500F/X/RS or other displacement choices.
- Japan and much of Asia: Production for the CB400 line has waned, with limited new stock in some markets and more emphasis on newer platforms; used CB400 bikes remain common among enthusiasts in certain areas.
- Other markets: Availability varies, but the global trend has shifted toward 500cc-class motorcycles or other modern options.
In short, while the CB400 name persists in the memories of enthusiasts, new-bike availability has largely faded across major markets. Prospective buyers should check with local Honda dealers or official regional sites for the latest stock status and any legacy or special-order options.
What Honda offers instead
For riders seeking a current Honda option in the mid-displacement range, the following models are commonly recommended alternatives to the CB400 in markets where the 400cc line has been phased out:
- CB500F — naked sports bike with a 471cc parallel-twin, widely sold worldwide.
- CB500X — adventure-styled 471cc parallel-twin, versatile for commuting and light touring.
- CBR500R — sport-oriented 471cc parallel-twin, higher-revving performance.
- Other regional options may exist, but the CB500 lineup is the closest direct successor in most markets.
These models aim to deliver modern electronics, improved efficiency, and broader dealer networks, often with similar everyday usability as the older CB400 lineup. Availability depends on country and model year.
Summary
The Honda CB400 line has been largely discontinued in most major markets, with new-bike availability dwindling as Honda emphasizes the 500cc class and newer platforms. Used CB400 motorcycles remain popular with collectors and enthusiasts in regions with active vintage markets, but buyers should verify current stock with local dealers and consider CB500 variants as practical modern replacements. For those intent on a true 400cc Honda today, checking regional imports or specialty dealers for remaining stock or late-run models may be necessary.
