If you like medium or small displacement sports cars, you will have to decide to think about an installation in South East Asia. In our latitudes, this type of bombing no longer seems to be in the odor of sanctity, and the countries that we once looked at with a certain compassion appear today almost as the promised land. The ranges offered there have increased in quality and approval, tantalizing the imagination of manufacturers. And it’s not this CBR 400 RR-R rumor that will persuade us otherwise…

The commercially limited scope of the CBR 600 RR-R beat us cold. Here is now this CBR 400 RR-R which will only fuel our regrets. From Japan there are persistent rumors about Honda's desire to create a small, sporty 4-cylinder with a 400 cc engine capable of competing with the new Kawasaki ZX-25R. This latest motorcycle has become the thorn in the side of other Japanese brands involved in emerging markets. The winged coat of arms would thus prepare the response.

In this case, the world's leading manufacturer would strive to equip its opus with good electronics as well as an engine capable of entertaining even the most experienced pilots. Will we see this model in 2021?

Small but equipped like the big ones

Small-displacement four-cylinder engines appear to be the new front in the trade war. This CBR 400 RR-R would resemble this view of mind materialized by the essential title Young Machine. According to the Japanese magazine, in fact, Honda will launch this 400 to compete with the Kawasaki 250. The sporting vocation would not be overused, with greater power and high-level electronics. We obviously know nothing about the technical sheet, but we can hypothesize that the aesthetics will be a close relative of the CBR 1000 RR-R. which means a fairing with the now inevitable aerodynamic fins.

We will never thank you on this level Ducati who was the first manufacturer to believe in his appendages by revealing them in MotoGP. The Italians had been mocked by the Japanese at the time. Today, they are laughing.
