First released in March of 1978, the SR400 offers an unchanging simplicity of design and an air-cooled single-cylinder engine with its inherent sense of pulse that gives it its distinctive riding feeling. These qualities have made it a long-selling model with a steady following of fans for over 30 years. As times have changed and technologies have advanced, this model has undergone a series of detail improvements and continued to evolve in ways that deepen the SR character while staying true to the original product concept of embodying the fundamental motorcycle without being swayed by the trends of each era.
This Special Exhibition Model of the SR400 adopts a fuel-injected engine for outstanding environmental performance while maintaining its traditional lightweight, slim and compact design ideal plus the sense of pulse and the styling that have always defined the SR models. Also, a new retro-modern styled meter panel and newly designed side covers and Yamaha emblem add new touches of quality.
