CBR400RR


Satu lagi moto yang pernah test ride. pinjam brader macx punya. bunyi dia memang kaw dan reka bentuk yang menarik. cuma, prestasi dia masa tu x sesedap cb4 rasanya. anyway this bike is still good. Its so good that sampaikan macx lenjan bawak naik cameron tiap-tiap hari.huhu.. Not bad ar!


The Honda cbr400rr 400cc is often described as small, but small/medium is nearer the mark, certainly compared to the latest generation of 600cc sports bikes. However the seat height is very low making it ideal for shorties. First gear is very tall on this bike (60MPH!) The handling is top class, far in excess of the average riders nerve/ability. Although at first glance there are no pillion footrests, there are, they are foldaway items hidden under the rear fender (very neat) however you wont want to carry a pillion too often as it kills the performance. This is a great grin factor fun bike and will keep up with the big boys on the twisty bits - in fact it rides like a race bike. In the real world the cbr600 is a better all rounder, but you don't buy a cbr400 for praticality! This is also a fantastic looking bike often described as a babyblade. One word of warning these bikes are nearly all imports, usally restricted not on power but top speed around 112mph or 180kph. There are two ways to derestrict it. The first is a black box (electronic gizmo) whichs fits in the wiring loom. The second a small gearbox/speedo converter which converts the KPH speedo to mph.
