The pearl shell white super sports CBX550F Integra was released in Japan in 1982. Its displacement was 572cc. This color scheme was not used on the CBX400F.
This sports model was equipped with an air-cooled, four-stroke, four-cylinder, 400cc engine, with the first model released from 1981 to 1983, and the second model released as a re-release in 1984. It was immensely popular not only on the street but also for racing.
When it was released in 1981, it gained popularity by incorporating the latest equipment, including a 48 horsepower engine, the highest in the 400cc class, and inboard disc brakes, the first in the world for a motorcycle.
After going out of production, its popularity increased over time, and the price of used cars gradually rose. As of 2025, good condition cars are often traded at prices exceeding 5 million yen.

Can I get vehicle insurance and theft insurance for a vintage car with a retail price of 10 million yen? We asked a specialist storeExtremely expensive vintage bikes are also known as “treasure cars” or “treasure models” due to their high demand and rarity. When purchasing a vintage bike that is even more expensive than a new car, one thing you may be concerned about is taking out vehicle insurance and theft insurance. Generally, the amount of vehicle insurance and theft insurance for older used cars tends to be estimated lower than for new cars. We interviewed classic car specialty stores around the country to research vehicle insurance and theft insurance that can be taken out for treasured cars and that are “commensurate with the purchase price and market value.” REPORT ● Kita Hideaki *Note: All information below is current as of October 1, 2024.
