      I would buy one if it is 2.5 Lakhs, and makes 40 BHP, and is a comfortable tourer like the CBR250, and not a track focused machine.

        Rumour..thats all.

        I Spoke to the manager of Silicon Honda, Bangalore about CBR 400. He said it is completely fake as he himself spoke to one of the top guys in Honda and made himself clear about this.

                I doubt that he is wrong. he is a well informed guy. He was very much positive about the release of the 400 is fake

                  It might not have matured that much as yet. As you know, maybe its just being researched upon in Japan right now and the Indian top level guys are not informed about it? or hiding it as its their job?

                  You said he confirmed from the "top guys". Question is how top exactly? Upto Japan, or upto Indian level officials only?

                    What you are saying might be correct too.

                    The top guy he meant was the Manufacturing plant head of India as he had spoken personally with him regarding this.

                      More details emerge on the Honda CBR400R for India

                      Only a few days back we brought to you the detail about the new 400cc twin engine meant for Asian markets including India. Now more details have emerged on the bike which would be using the new powerplant. The new 400cc bike will most likely spawn a variety of styles to cater to every need and taste. Just like the 500cc range, also revealed recently, the 400cc bikes will have a fully faired, part faired and naked variants. The first model to hit the streets in India may be called the CBR400R. The naked version would most likely be introduced later with the CB400 tag. A half faired model of the bike named CB400F, similar to its CB500F cousin may also arrive here in due course.
                      The new 400cc twin is essentially on the 500cc twin engines revaled by Honda a couple of months back. The parallel-twin liquid cooled engine has the same 67mm bore as the 5o00cc unit, but the stroke has been downsized to 56.6mm. The change, in effect will lend a reviver, and more peaky character to the engine which should suit a sporty, aggressive riding style rather well. However, the engine will be tuned to deliver seamless, linear power delivery, much in the fashion of the CBR250R.
                      While no official statements have been made about the power output figure for the new 400cc twin, the expected peak output is 42PS or thereabouts. The new engine will share its cases, clutch and other mechanical bits with the bigger capacity unit.The 400cc CBR will take the fight to the KTM 390 Duke and the new Pulsar 375 which would be based on it. Currently, Honda rules the roost as regards affordable performance bikes in India, and the Japanese company would like to retain its leadership position in terms of both specs and sales. Still early days to talk about the price of the new bike, but an OTR price of Rs 3 lakh should not be entirely impossible to achieve.
