Man this was my dream bike. Small, high revving and 4 cylinders.

The way Mr. Regular has talked about New Zealand in a few of the episodes, I feel like he really wants to live there. And I can't blame him one bit.

I was in a back highway in the Philippines once, and I heard a really deep but high revving rumble creeping up for behind us while at a stop light. I’ve only ever seen SuperFours in pictures before but I immediately assumed correctly that I was about to see a SuperFour.

There i was witnessing the absolutely douchy yet excusable loud exhaust of this wonderful 400cc bike carrying a 160-200 kilo man, who was physically bigger than the bike, all the way to 120Kmh before we could even make it up 50 in our family MPV

we got 400 fours here. honda cb-1, yamaha fzr400, and suzuki bandit 400. cb-1 had gear driven cams and a 13750 redline. the super four you rode here was the replacement for the cb-1. we never got that one as the cb-1 never sold well and only lasted two years, 89-90. the super four was styled after the cb1000 where the cb-1 had its own style.

This is journalistic excellence ! Man, I can listen to this guy all day ! Our laws are British drive on the left also. We do not have them, but I love all the Honda Super Fours and Hornet models. Cheers. Trinidad & Tobago.

The end of this video was amazing. Really gets me thinking about how much bigger the world is than we see it from our own home. Pennsylvania is a blessing and a curse man. I'd love to see whats really out there, beyond the city.

Ended up buying one of these only a few weeks ago as my first bike on recommendation from a workmate who rides. 2012 model, 15, 000km, tricolour in red/white with gold wheels. It’s a beauty! I love it! It is an absolute beauty to ride and I think it will never leave my garage.

Just realized a small error, Honda made the CB400F NC27 in 1989 with a four cylinder, not 1991. There was an entire model generation or two before this bike. In fact, it was even brought to the us in 1989/1990 as the Honda CB-1.

1: how did you guys skip the most important part of the previous video? Your sponsor?

[duncanwilson]

I want to say your video sold me on motorcycling and i bought my first bike today.

[ALAPINO]

A lot of places are still "grey" as it pertains to lane splitting.
I've even seen municipal and regional government websites say, "Don't do it... but it's not illegal (yet).

BUREAUCRAT VOICE IS ALWAYS WELCOME!

The end to this video felt like a cry for help. Do you require assistance?

[Racin]

But Romans outro has been cut off...
Come on RCR, getting sloppy now.

[NotAud]

I'm glad the intro is fixed now and all, but why you gotta do Roman's outro song like that?

[lawlesssc]

Yeah but... but... what about the 1989 - 1990 Honda CB-1 (400FT) and the Honda Hawk GT 650 of the same era with trick single side rear swing arm as standard?

They WERE brought to the states it's just that when Honda tries to sell you a CB-1 (even one that revs to 13K rpm and has gear driven cams) for $4K+ at the dealership and the Honda 600 'Hurricane' F1 was just under 6K most people just bought up.

This has always pretty much been a two bike country: one engine under 1 liter and one engine at or above. There never seemed to be a large enough demographic to fill out the sub-liter categories much more than the 600 or 750s, which is a shame because the CB-1 was an excellent bike, small, flickable, light and my first ever.

I wanted a Honda CB-1 400cc when I was in high school. The CB-1 was available in the U.S. from 1989-1990 it was a liquid cooled transverse 4 cylinder. So we did get a 400cc Honda.

The VTEC systen used on this bike is basically what they used on the VTEC Honda Fit/Jazz that you had. Both engines go from 2 valve to 4 valve per cylinder when VEC is activated. There is even a Motorcycle/Scooter that uses an engine based on exactly the same engine as the Fit/Jazz but with 2 less cylinders, the Honda NC700D Integra which is a cool maxi scooter with a dual clutch transmission and half a Fit engine that was made to run not completely smooth to give it more feel.

Love your "not a car" reviews, need more.

[MyHunter]

Ayyy how fucking cool is this? I have a CB400, in NZ, love RegularCars, and Automation is my favorite game. lmao what a gem this is

[Yoshi]

Fixed the intro, but now cut the ending too short. :)

[SimReal.]

I want to live in NZ since I was 12, Im from Argentina and was looking at this bike to buy there, and I found a video of you THERE, I subbed like 4 years ago and I just stumbled on this video and made me realize I need to do it now.
