Hi! I have a question. A salesman is trying to sell me a Ninja 400 non ABS and I’m a beginner rider. I thought ABS was the way to go for a beginner? Can someone please advise?
You absolutely should! Cart tracks sometimes allow small cc bikes to run, different heats of course. My local cart track is 9/10ths of a mile and an absolute blast of slower tighter turns while still rushing to 60mph in the back straight.
@@davidwendel6080 : Kart Tracks? The Ninja 400 absolutely does NOT need to be limited to small Kart Tracks to enjoy. It is 100% fully capable of doing standard track days on standard Tracks alongside all the bigger cc bikes. This bike can easily get you to an advanced level. Seriously, unless you are running against high skill riders, the Ninja 400 is more than capable of keeping up. It's not until u start getting on the track with the higher level riders on bigger bikes that you really start to notice the lack of power. Not only will they match you in the curves, they will just pull you hard on the straights. Otherwise, what it lacks in straightaway power, it can make up for in cornering & agility. The last track day I attended with my 400, during an intermediate session, I went around a few larger cc bikes (including a Ducati Panigale and a BMW1000rr, both were on slicks). smh. that was funny.
I cut my teeth on a modded-out Bandit 400 at Summit Point. that ride was a blast. I remember the grid was me and a bunch of FZR 400's. Great racing because they were only slightly faster and only a few could beat to the checker.. moved on to an SV650 after the Bandit got tired. 10 years later, post racing days, I get to fly around on my VFR400 NC30 & ZXR400.. Little bikes are far more fun.. would LOVE to get my hands on a TZR250 eventually.. love the channel.. Gum
Could you also make a vdo about the prices of the racing parts. I'd like to know what it will cost me if i buy a stock Ninja 400 to make it a track day bike.
As a returning rider who bought in at the 300 range as a sensible return to motorcycling I have zero regrets. Granted after a year and 12,000 miles on my CB 300 F it is more than time for an upgrade of an engine and actual physical size of the bike and I did just that with an insane 08 1125r Buell. Surprise surprise I yeeked it the first week I had it. Service with me right not getting the MT-O7 I was actually shopping for. Now I still want an mt or trident but I don’t want to part with the Buell it’s just to damn amazing! Also after a couple of times at a cart track has me wanting to swap my little naked bike for a dedicated little track bike. AND THE 400 is exactly the bike I am considering. One because it has a bit more grunt then my 286cc Honda but also a slightly larger frame and the more aggressive stance that is appropriate for track riding. But the biggest thing is it’s allowed at both small cart and ‘real’ tracks DRZ-400🤔
Yammie, you have singlehandedly made me obsessed and bred my passion within for motorcycles. I rode dirt bikes when I was younger and I’m currently making installation payments on a 2017 Ninja 650 and I can’t wait to ride it!!!
Never ridden a Kawasaki 650 but it looks to be a great bike. Ridden a couple of older Yamaha Fazer 600's, great bikes but if had to pick one bike I'd certainly look at the Kawasaki 650.

I picked one up a couple months back for kicks. I was worried about it being underpowered, but this thing has spunk. Even on the Highway it has plenty of juice. I've definitely been on bigger and faster bikes, but I just wasn't expecting this little thing to perform the way it does.
I'm 29 years old, I rode a 400 for a few years. Just the other day, I had to explain to a young 21 year old why getting an r1 for his first bike wasn't a good idea. Reminded me of myself at 21.
My first two bikes were brand new ZX-6rs. 1999, then 2000. By 2006 I bought a brand new CBR1000RR. Then in 2015 I bought my dream bike, 2001 RC51. But I’m about to head to my dealer and grab a Ninja 400. A big part of me wants to re-learn everything about riding. And I plan to finally start doing track days.

I have a Ninja 300, our bikes are great for what they are. Haven't ridden a R3 but would love to as a comparison would be interesting. I ride the sh1t our of mine.
Great Advice!! I heard it 40 years ago from Robert Overby of Overby Honda but there were not many smaller bikes back then... The Yamaha RZ/RD 350 and maybe the Honda Hawk would both have been good choices in hindsight.
I have no idea in the USA but in the UK it's around 0.1% and in Ireland ten times less at 0.01% but that's no surprise as more ppl are into racing and track in the UK. This is based roughly on total number of licensed road riders compared to 'first time' track day newcomers but regular track day dudes wouldn't really increase this % figure I'd think.
