Rumour is that they will use the engine out of the Super 4. https://electrodealpro.com/honda-wi...ped-with-the-engine-of-cb400-to-fight-zx-25r/ I guess it will be very competitively priced against the ZX25R since they have the engine just lying about doing nothing. If true, then sales of the pretend sportsbikes (R3 etc) will be dead overnight, at least here.
I hope they do it, and hope that it's not just a bog standard CB400 motor in sporty skirts. I suppose the red valve cover could indicate some VTEC system, which the CB400 has already.
Well it is just a rumour now. The factories probably put these rumours out there to see how much interest it generates. Then the magazines draw up images to stick on the cover. If it does happen you would think that they'd dump the VTEC rubbish on a sports bike.
