Honda will relaunch the CB400 Super Four, discontinued in 2022, as an E-Clutch-equipped model on August 21, marking its return after four years. The bike, long familiar as a rider-training staple, has renewed interest in the difference between the naked "CB" line dating to 1959 and the fully-faired "CBR" line that debuted in 1983 — the core distinction being cowl-less versus full fairing.

An E-Clutch you can ride either without touching the clutch lever or in full manual feel — compared with the old model, the control layout itself is a different animal. Having that training-bike familiarity sitting alongside brand-new tech is exactly what I can't get enough of. This comeback gets my pulse up.

The CB name going back to 1959? That history is amazing.

I like the CBR lineage too, but as a naked-bike person it's CB all the way.

Getting hyped just because it's back after 4 years — depends what's actually inside.

Wonder how much the E-Clutch actually changes versus the old model.

So no clutch lever means even people who suck at half-clutch can ride it?

Owe so much to the CB400SF from riding school. Glad it's back on August 21.

Bet used training-school units flood the market cheap.
