This Honda CBR400R greatly reduces air resistance by devising the shape of the front fender, fairing, headlights, rearview mirror, etc. In addition, by equipping the rear fender that moves with the swing arm, the air inside the fairing is directly flowed to the rear of the vehicle body, pursuing aerodynamic characteristics of a new concept everywhere. In addition, Honda's unique style, in which most of the body is wrapped in fairings, is "futuristic" in pursuit of rider comfort and a sense of unity with the motorcycle.
The engine is equipped with a newly designed water-cooled 4-cycle DOHC in-line 4-cylinder engine tilted forward by 35 degrees. In addition, a cam gait lane system (a system in which the camshaft is driven by gears), a new 4-unit carburetor, and a collecting pipe muffler are used to achieve more accurate valve operation and reduce frictional resistance at high rpm. As a result, the maximum output is 59PS/12,500rpm and the maximum torque is 3.8kg-m/10,000rpm.

1986 Honda CBR400R Features
The frame is an aluminum twin-tube diamond type frame that achieves light weight and high rigidity due to Honda's unique "eye-shaped" cross-sectional structure.
Also, according to the high rigidity of the frame, flat tires, aluminum wheels with S-shaped cross-section spokes and wide rims, and aluminum swing arms (rear wheels) are adopted. In addition, both front and rear wheels are equipped with hydraulic disc brakes (double front), making it suitable for super sports bikes.
