BTW honda is coming out with a CBR400 for america, that should be one really nice bike, is it out anywhere else in the world at the moment?
I haven't heard anything about a CBR400R for the U.S. market... do you have a source for this claim? Honestly, I can't see any reason that American Honda Motor Co. would bring in yet another CBR model to the U.S. market and place it in between the 300R and the 500R... why would they do that, and what would be the point?
I have to say that I'm a little surprised by what some of you guys have been posting on the various forums of this site... some of this stuff is so far off base, I'm left wondering what the source of some of this information is? If you're getting some of this stuff from the Indian and Asian moto blogs found online then that would make sense, as most of those guys are pretty clueless when it comes to motorcycles in general, and in particular the technical aspects of motorbikes.
BTW, based on what I've read the CB400 is intended for the Japanese market only.
