Honda CB250 Nighthawk vs Honda CB400 Super Four ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda CB250 Nighthawk has a 744 mm seat; the Honda CB400 Super Four sits at 755 mm — a 11 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 74 cm for the Honda CB250 Nighthawk and 76 cm for the Honda CB400 Super Four.

That makes the Honda CB250 Nighthawk the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Honda CB400 Super Four gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend.
