#Bobber#Chopper#Custom Check my instagram: egordaineko13 The Honda Steed 400 cruiser model appeared on the Japanese market in 1988 in parallel with the older version of the Honda Steed 600. In the early years of production (until 1991), the model was in extremely low demand, and there were even rumors that Honda was planning to complete production of the motorcycle. By 1993, however, Japan was experiencing another boom in American-style motorcycles, and the Steed 400 quickly became a bestseller - in 10 years of production, the total number of Steed 400 and 600 sold reached 80,000 units. The model was based on a 2-cylinder V-shaped liquid-cooled engine with a volume of 398 cm³, producing 30-31 hp. power and 32-33 Nm of torque. This motor was also installed on the Honda XL400V Transalp, Honda VRX 400, Honda Bros 400 and Honda Shadow 400 models. Of the features of the Steed 400, it should be noted the classic steel duplex frame, front disc and rear drum brakes, simple suspensions in the form of a conventional telescopic fork (VLS - springer) and a rear mono-shock absorber, a fuel tank of 9-11 liters (depending on the year and version), 5-speed gearbox and curb weight from 208 kg. 2001 was the last year of production of the Honda Steed 400, which was slightly updated (added an exhaust afterburning system for new environmental standards and other minor innovations) and finally rolled off the assembly line. In 1997, a new model, the Honda Shadow 400, was proposed as the successor to the Steed 400.
