Not really, small display inline 4 engines are a dying breed.

Would anybody know in which countries this CB Super Four was or currently is on the market ? In Austria / Germany the latest CB 400 I can find is from 1999.

I was always a fan of the Honda CB-1 400. I have never owned one but always thought they were an a amazing looking bike.
Of course the VFR 400 was no slouch either in the stock looks department.

It was available in Australia consistently until around 2016. No sig of it thee days. It no longer appears on the Honda Global web site as a global bike. They were very popular here, particularly with new riders. I enjoyed the morning I once spent on one.

They are very fun, but my Jade was a 250 with the same 50hp, and it would rev up to 16k, was a proper screamer, oh how much I loved that bike. The CB400 I rode for a while was ok, but missing something for me

That color combo is probably my favorite for a motorcycle. I could stand a bit of nickel-silver on the engine andor exhaust pipes, but that's a smart looking machine.

Like.
The Beemer is something too. The Triumph is just organic.

I guess there ain't no cure for me, I looked at all these lovely pictures and came to the conclusion that ... well you guessed it already, I like my CB11 more than all the rest.
Can she be improved? Yes, of course, but that's gonna be hard work . Bring her down to 480 pounds. I remember tod mentioned he was working in this direction, and she lost ... was it 13 kg? But I am all too aware that this won't be coming easy.
