The SR400 is the centerpiece of the classic models in the 400cc class, and now that its production has been announced to be discontinued, it is at a premium and will become increasingly difficult to obtain. If you want to get it, it is now. There is no doubt that you can keep it on hand for a long time to come, as there are so many customization parts available to the stars.

Summary
Although there are few new models of this classic type in the 400cc class, it is expected to attract attention in the future. This is because Honda's GB350 has been a big hit, and Royal Enfield, the leader in its class, is moving to compete with it. The very easy-to-ride classical type may possibly lead the future of motorcycles. It is fun enough to ride slowly on a toco. I think this class has the basic impression that everyone has forgotten as motorcycles have become more sophisticated. The used market price may increase in the future. It is also rich in custom parts, so it will never go out of style. It is a 400cc classic motorcycle that you can't take your eyes off unexpectedly.
