Among various motorcycle makers from around the world will be Honda, which has a long list of bikes that will displayed at its stands.

While Honda will showcase several prototype models at the shows it will also unveil a few production models, including three 399cc versions of its 500 series sports bikes. These bikes are the CBR400R, CB400F and 400X. These three production bikes will be produced for Japan, but there is every possibility that the new 400 series bikes will be introduced in emerging markets including India in the near future.

CBR400R

The CBR400R as the name suggests is a 399cc vversion of fully faired sportsbike and like the 500 series the engines will be liquid cooled DOHC parallel twin cylinder units.

CB400F

The CB400F, a naked street bike will also use the same engine as the CBR400R.

400X

The third bike, the 400X on the other hand will use a different engine than the other two, made evident by the ‘X' in the name, instead of the CB. Honda describes it as a "Sport tourer model originating from the "Crossover Concept""
