Looking at the spec sheet, fitting an assist-and-slipper clutch on a 398cc really grabs me. Keeping the seat low while still delivering full-fairing seriousness is a great balance, and that new carbon gray color has real presence. This is the good part.

It's a long-seller though, this level of polish is plenty

Assist-and-slipper clutch standard on a 398cc is quietly great

814,000 yen tax included, that's a realistic price

At this price the CBR400R becomes a natural comparison too
