Only 500 of the Special Edition bikes will be made in both naked and faired “Bol D'Or” forms, going on sale in Japan next month. CB400 hasn't had a major model change since its introduction of 1992 but that might be because it is original and never gets old like Levi's 501 jeans.
A red frame, gold rims were popular in Honda models back in early 80's so this is pretty much following the trend of retro/ nostalgia, like Kaw's W800
The bikes might do pretty good in the US and Europe as a classy cool daily rider but there is no plan of sales other than in Japan at this moment. With much stronger value of Japanese yen, the prices would be 9700 US buck for faired one, and 8900 US bucks for naked CB400.... Source:Honda Japan
Yeah, more cool bikes that you can't get...
