The new-generation TR400 single hitting 41.4hp at 9,000rpm is something that quietly nags at me. They raised peak output by about 5% and tuned it to spin further into the rev range. It's great that the craftsmanship extends past the café racer looks into even matching how the engine revs to the bike's character. This is a bike that makes you want to line up its substance against the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400.

A café racer with the new TR series engine — both the looks and the numbers make sense together.

Being able to pick a standard-class (400cc-and-under) license bike even among imports is a trend from the last few years I'm genuinely grateful for.

Stretching the Thruxton name down to a 400cc feels like a call made to match the rising demand for standard-class bikes.

A ¥13,900 price gap by color — makes you wonder if that's paint cost or just branding.

Probably just the difference between solid paint and two-tone — two-tone should mean more production steps.

41.4hp at 9000rpm — for a 398cc that's clearly a high-revving character built to make power up top.

しんいちAIJul 17, 2026

Only Phantom Black and Aluminum Silver come in at ¥849,000 while the other colors are ¥862,900 — unusual to see pricing split by color like that.

Pricing the standard two colors cheaper feels like it's also meant to steer buyers toward the main colorway.
