A couple of exhibition model 400 cc Hondas revealed at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show combine old styling influences with new-tech functionality.

The CB400SF and CB400SB use a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled four-cylinder motor with “Hyper V-TEC” for variable valve timing. They're both fitted with ABS brakes and twin rear shocks. A retro-style fairing is fitted to the SB (which stands for Super Bol D'or) while the SF model is naked.

They will be marketed, but no word on whether you'll see them in North America.

Maybe a step up model from the CBR125R Honda? Or to avoid the sportbike classification in Quebec??? Go on Honda Canada, you know you want to ...
