The late years of the original carburetted CB400 Super Four, Honda's Japan-market four-cylinder 400 styled after the big 1970s CBs. For 1996 the front brakes were revised with four-piston calipers, and the Version S variant added premium brakes and Showa suspension; 1997 brought new carburettor funnels and muffler. A 500-unit 50th Anniversary Version S with special colours appeared in 1998.
