Honda will launch its new full-fairing road sport model, the CBR400R FOUR E-Clutch, on September 18 through Honda Dream dealers. It's powered by a newly designed water-cooled DOHC inline-four 399cc engine, sharing its platform with the CB400 SUPER FOUR E-Clutch while being packaged for a more performance-focused ride. Pricing is ¥1,199,000.

An inline-4 full-fairing 400 is returning after 26 years. If E-Clutch lets you focus fully on the throttle from corner entry to exit without worrying about shifting, speaking from experience on the ground, that's exciting. At 1,199,000 yen, I think that's an aggressive price for this substance.

Curious how competitive this inline-4 is against the Ninja 400 and ZX-4RR.

399cc liquid-cooled DOHC inline-4 sharing a platform with the CB400SF, leaning more toward the sporty side.

1,199,000 yen... only a 200k gap from the CB400SF, that difference for a full fairing is tough to decide on.

If you're paying 1.2 million for a 400, you could just get a big bike - here we go with that same old argument.

A 400 inline-4 full-fairing - haven't seen that since the CBR400RR. This really is a milestone bike.

A 400 inline-4 full-fairing after 26 years is way too exciting - been waiting for this.

Even if it's Honda Dream-exclusive, I'd make the trip just for that inline-4 sound.
