2013 Honda CB400 Super Bol Dor ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Honda's sport motorcycle platform, the 2013 Honda CB400 Super Bol Dor ABS utilizes a 399 cc (24.4 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 52.3 HP (38.2 kW) at 10,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 38 Nm (28 lb-ft) at 9,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 131.1 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (9,500 rpm) and peak power (10,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the CB400 Super Bol Dor ABS measures 200 kg (441 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.26 HP/kg (3.82 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 755 mm (29.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,560 mm (61.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
