    Thats the new 125cc aint it??? prob someone just put 400 sticker on it! You would at least think new 400 would have dual brake discs, upside down forks etc

    Surely thats the 250 as if you look in the radiator area you can see 2 down pipes.

    I used to love my CBR400 and I could see it being a good step before moving onto a higher powered machine for new riders.

    Don't know why Honda dont bring the middle class bikes over here! Others are the same real nice little XJR400, CB400 and so on but they see now market for it??? I think there is a BIG market for them imo and of they make it then why not get it sorted for the Euro BULL and bring them in! Beats me??? And I think its a shame! Some people I see would be right at home on that kind of bike.

    If they bought the 400 out now i'd get one for lisa for sure - big enough to be a proper bike but great for her to learn on. she loves my 400 but its a fickle old thing and my pride and joy...so she doesnt want to ride it so this would be ideal. some of the 600's are too big for her to learn on, so she will have to get an e-n or something....

    Agree with you Arthur, think their is a huge market for it. Would give youngsters a great stepping stone so could encourage more into bikes which would mean there would be more stepping up and buying bigger bikes.

    obviously mr Honda's marketing know something we dont!

    oh - and i think it looks cool too.

    Good for you Jimbo. I asked Jeanette just this weekend if she fancied learning to ride a bike and she said

    'I want a Fiat 500.'

    So I said what about a scooter, and she said

    'the Abarth.'

    I chose to shut up at that point.

    she said she had the hump being on the back and not in control... i joked that she should do her test and she could have the vfr400 (clearly never thinking she would)... she booked her direct access, passed 1st time and is now the proud legal owner of a uk spec nc30. Had to sign it over for insurance.

    i AM the moral owner i;ll have you know.

    but she didnt get on with it. so it'll be a little naked bike for her to cut her teeth on - wish they still made 400's though.

    If that picture's kosher it would be ideal. I've just been trawling the web and haven't found anything though.

    I'm pretty sure it's a magazine knock up of what they'd like to see.

    It looks like a CBR600F with Blade lights and wheels.
