Honda CB-1 / CBR400RR 


It was a model that tried to gain popularity by using CBR400RR for the CB-1 engine released by Honda during the heyday of the racer replica, while each company introduced a naked model.

This time, we will introduce from CB-1 evaluation to custom.

Honda CB-1 / CBR400RR Overview


 
The CB-1 was born as a next generation naked bike rather than a nostalgic tone as the voice of "I am me" written on the pamphlet at the time of the popularity of racer replicas.

It was a consideration for the user that the steel diamond frame was based on the CBR400RR engine as a base that was easier to handle than medium and low speeds. I was taken with a foreign bike. However, without the CB-1, the CB400SF, the current popular naked bike, was never born, so it's definitely a great challenge.

Even CBR400RR is 15L, so no matter how much you improve it, 13L is too small to earn cruising range.

This is an unsatisfactory point because the fuel efficiency will be 18 liters / L because it is an engine that rotates by all means. I feel like I can make a stylishly changing bike with a sharp texture, but I don't see anyone who can do that.
