It was based on a V-shaped 2-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a volume of 398 cm³, producing 33 hp. power and 34 Nm of torque. The motor was not an independent development, but migrated from the cruiser [[Honda_Steed_400 | Honda Steed 400]]. The same engine has been installed on many other models such as [[Honda_Bros_400 | Bros 400]], [[Honda_XL400V_Transalp | Transalp 400]] and [[Honda_Shadow_400 | Shadow 400]].

The main features of the model include a steel tubular frame, liquid cooling, disc brakes front and rear, simple suspensions in the form of a conventional telescopic fork and a classic double shock absorber, an 11-liter fuel tank, a 5-speed gearbox and 205 kg of curb weight.

In June 1996, the Honda VRX400 Roadster receives minor updates - the emblem on the tank turns gold, and most of the chrome parts are repainted black (except for the fork feathers and the air filter housing). This version was called "Special Black" and was available in limited quantities.

1996 was the last year of production of the model, after which it finally rolled off the assembly line. New motorcycle sales continued through 1999. Currently, the model is widely represented at Japanese auctions and enjoys a certain demand in the Russian market.
