Honda has taken the wraps off the 2024 edition of the CBR400R for the Japanese markets. The motorcycle is set for its official launch on March 21 and has received minor design updates around the headlamp by receiving winglets like the flagship CBR1000RR-R. The CBR400R has also received a couple of feature upgrades that include a 5-inch Bluetooth-enabled TFT instrument console that allows the user to control music apart from answering calls. Furthermore, the motorcycle now comes with traction control, thus adding a level of safety net when riding over low-traction surfaces.
