How fast can a 400cc motorcycle go?
2 Answers
400cc motorcycles can exceed 180km/h and reach up to 200km/h under good road conditions. Most 400cc displacement motorcycles are four-cylinder in-line street bikes. They typically have a power output between 55-65 horsepower and weigh between 170-200 kilograms. Some well-known 400cc motorcycles include the Kawasaki Ninja 300/Ninja 250, KTM RC390, CFMoto NK400, Shengshi 310-X, Cyclone RX3S, Suzuki Inazuma 400, Yamaha XJR400, and Honda CB400 VTEC.
I've ridden several 400cc motorcycles, and the speed really depends on the model and road conditions. Sporty models like the Yamaha YZF-R3 can reach around 170 km/h. On flat city roads, pushing the throttle hard easily gets you above 140 km/h, but speed drops to about 120 km/h when going uphill or carrying a passenger. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes about five to six seconds, which is quite thrilling! Factors like bike weight, rider's weight, and wind resistance all affect performance. Japanese bikes are well-tuned, offering both speed and fuel efficiency, making them great for daily commuting. Remember to ride safely and avoid speeding violations.
