Meet Shady, a sleek grey CB400X with a heart built for adventure and a soul that craves the open road. Touring across the winding mountain passes and neon-lit cities of Japan, she moves like a shadow—smooth, silent, and always one step ahead. With her smoky curves and steady growl, Shady turns heads wherever she rolls, blending elegance with grit. She's conquered misty mountain trails where clouds kiss the treetops and the air smells like freedom, each curve a story, each climb a quiet triumph. From the hidden backroads to the timeless beauty of Shikoku and Kyushu, her wheels have touched places that stir the soul. It’s no wonder the CB400X has become a favorite among riders—praised for its ease, agility, and all-day comfort, it’s the perfect partner for both first-time explorers and seasoned tourers. Shady isn’t just a ride—she’s a trusted companion, carving memories into every corner of the map, one epic journey at a time.
