The Honda CB400SF Super Four was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range, powered by an updated version of the engine used in the CB-1 machine, with the looks of the typical Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM) manufactured in the 1970s.
The CB400 Super Bol D'Or was a special edition model of the CB400SF Super Four that featured an additional half-fairing with a small tinted windscreen and a front cowl with a rectangular headlight instead of the round one used by the Super Four model.
The 2005 CB400 Super Bol D'Or came equipped with standard features, such as a blacked-out engine, a one-piece two-up seat with a passenger grab handle, three-spoke cast aluminum wheels, a front cowl with a rectangular headlight, an aggressive paint scheme, an analog and digital instrument cluster, and a chromed exhaust system.
The bike featured a high-tensile steel cradle frame that was fitted on the front end with a telescopic fork and dual shock absorbers on the rear, while the braking performance was handled by two 296 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and one 240 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
In the performance department, the 2005 Honda CB400 Super Bol D'Or took its muscles from a 399cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by four carburetors that helped deliver an output power of 53 hp with maximum strength at 11,000 rpm and 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,500 rpm.
