History

[Don't know much about this version, except that it shares many parts (at least the RR versions do) with the later NC29, and that it is also known as the "Tri-Arm". Oh, and that I have one of its swing arms in the garage...] Below are illustrations of each of the NC23 color schemes available throughout its production:

All CBR400R/RR NC23s were manufactured for the Japanese domestic market, though, as with other 400cc Honda motorcycles of the era, many were later exported to other markets (especially the U.K.) as "grey imports".
