The NX-4 is mainly sold in Brazil, and was used in several states by the Brazilian army,

In 2008 Honda Brazil stopped production of the NX-4, due to the strict limitations imposed on emissions in Brazil.  It was replaced by the Honda XRE 300. 

In 2012 production was resumed, and the model was named the Honda NX-400i Falcon, which came with an electronic fuel injection system, which complied with the imposed emissions limits.

With the change to the injection system, the engine lost about 2 horsepower, from 30.6hp  to 28.7hp at 6,500 rpm.  The torque decreased slightly from 3.51 kg-fm to 3.27 kg-fm at 6,000 rpm.

In Mexico and Argentina the NX-4 was still available in the carburetor version.
