Description
Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
Affectionately known as the Babyblade, the Honda CBR400RR was a 400cc sportbike sold only in Japan for approximately 15 years. The nickname came about as it was the smaller brother to the Fireblade.
In the 90s, the American motorcycle market was the epitome of “the bigger, the better.” But in Japan, the 400cc class was where most of the innovation was happening due to licensing/displacement restrictions. Every Japanese OEM invested countless dollars into improving their 400cc offerings, and models wouldn’t go more than a couple of years without significant upgrades.
This example is VIN: NC231091284. It came to Iconic as an import from Japan.
The odometer shows 14,902 kilometers (9,259 miles).
