Overview[edit | edit source]

Honda XR 400 Motard











The air-cooled, single-cylinder, 400 cc, OHC, 4-stroke engine of the XR400 Motard delivers ample power. The special-specification carburetor diameter and transmission gear ratios provide increased intake and exhaust efficiency, excellent acceleration, and highly responsive output at low and mid-range speeds.

The 17" on-road tires and light aluminum wheels make the XR400 very easy to ride in the city. The semi-double cradle frame is specially designed to complement the 17" tires. In addition, every part of the frame, including the head pipe area, has been strengthened for exceptional rigidity and highly stable turning.

The front suspension employs an inverted front fork for superior shock-absorption and high-performance steering, while the suspension stroke has been optimized for stable on-road cruising. The 276 mm diameter front and 220 mm diameter rear hydraulic disc brakes offer superior braking control performance.

The tank shroud and off-road front visor reflect the XR400’s Super Motard stylistic origins. Two color schemes are available: a brilliant Los White and the Extreme Red used on the CRF series motocross racing bikes.


The air-cooled, single-cylinder, 400 cc, OHC, 4-stroke engine employs a radial four-valve combustion chamber (RFVC) structure for excellent combustion efficiency. The 34 mm carburetor diameter and transmission gear ratios, both special-specification, improve intake and exhaust efficiency for superb acceleration at low- to mid-range speeds and powerful engine responsiveness. In addition, the reduced moment of inertia of the ACG rotor improves throttle response. These features add up to an engine not only ideal for city riding, but also powerful enough to endure tough Super Motard races.



The special-specification semi-double cradle frame complements the 17" on-road tires and light aluminum wheels. Every part of the frame, including the head pipe and swing arm, has been strengthened for exceptional rigidity and highly stable turning performance.


For excellent shock and vibration control, the front suspension employs a 43 mm diameter inverted fork. In combination with a low center of gravity, the front suspension stroke of 245 mm and rear suspension stroke of 210 mm help realize exceptional cruising stability. Hydraulic disc brake diameters for the front and rear are 276 mm and 220 mm, respectively, allowing for ample surface area, effective heat dissipation, and highly stable braking. In addition, the 140 mm wide rear tire features extra surface area for a firm grip on the road.


As distinctive off-road elements, the tank shroud, front visor, and two-tone seat emphasize the XR400’s stylistic origins in Super Motard racing.


The XR400 is available in two exciting color schemes. In the first, Los White, the fender, front visor, tank shroud, and side protectors are all a brilliant White. In the Extreme Red color scheme, which emulates that of the CRF series racing bikes, the fender and tank shroud are Extreme Red while the front visor and side protectors are White. In both of these color schemes, the Black of the engine, wheel rims, and front fork protectors also provides a striking accent.
