Honda will launch its new inline-four 399cc CBR400R FOUR E-Clutch on September 18 at ¥1,199,000, with an annual sales target of 2,500 units. The clutch-lever-free E-Clutch system is the headline feature, but social media reaction has been mixed, with some calling the price too high.

Looking at the spec sheet, just packing an inline-four into 399cc is already exciting on its own. 43kW peak output and a clutch-free E-Clutch system get my pulse up. I get why ¥1,199,000 makes people flinch, but compared with the outgoing model, the level of tech packed in here is a different league.

43kW and 38Nm is plenty on paper.

For the same money I'm more curious about the CB400SF.

Not needing to work the clutch is huge for beginners.

I just got my license, so honestly this would help a lot.

1.199 million yen feels bold for a 400cc.

Right, that E-Clutch premium is way too much.
