SW-T400

2011 Honda SW-T400 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Honda for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2011 Honda SW-T400 features a 399 cc (24.4 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 38.5 HP (28.1 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 37.8 Nm (27.9 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 96.5 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 SW-T400 measures 267 kg (589 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (6.94 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,600 mm (63 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
