Do you ever wish you had more torgue or hp? I have a z400 as my first bike and people ask me about upgrading but i just dont know if i really need anymore power and its so nimble and light. For the money it seems a good deal.
You gain about 12 kmh on top end with fairings, but hey, you can change oil and clutch much quicker without them. My only dislike is the LCD tachometer. Would be great to see a neo retro version with analog tach. Thanks for the video.
by law it's not allowed that speedo shows more than you actually ride. That's why the manufacturers let the speedo show a little bit more. And furthermore you have a lot of slip at rear wheel at higher speeds.
acceleration and top speed z400 lil better the same or very similar power but z400 is lighter like 20 kg + have wider peak atleast in comaprision to older cb 500 version not sure about new one they could change rpm limiter setup and increase peak width assuming power dont drop after those certain rpm but even than 20 kg less z400 be accelerate lil faster , however for daily commuting it dosent really matter what really in daily commuting be decisive be 20 kg lighter or better cb 500 lowend if you look at dyno graph from 2018 on motorcycle…com you see that cb 500 have more power than z400 all the way from idle up to rpm limiter on 9 k rom around at 6 vs 6 k rpm cb 500 have 32 whp vs z400 only 25 hp it mean if you be at the same egzacly speed regardles of at which gear you are and both at 600 rpm open throtle to max cb leave z400 in the dust up to rpm limiter after this ninja would pull away 👌🏻 anyways i dont know which i would choice form those 2 cos its battle between lightness and elasticity but probably take cb 😉

it's a pleasure to me :) have fun and ride safe ;)
Should have got the z900 lol
Looks good, sounds good and for a 400 it’s a lot quicker than i thought it would be, might have to buy one of these.
Yep, of course you need high revs, but it really makes fun
After 2 675 Streets and 2 765 Streeets 2 650 Ninjas I bought a Z400. I love it. No high top speeds anymore but I don't mind. It's just fun.
Right, also smaller bikes can make a lot of fun. The Z400 is very light weight.

Would be nice to test 😎

with full fairing like a GSX-R and longer gear ratio it could reach about 275km/h. I also prefere analogue speedometer :)
Good Job Bro, Thumbs up. Looking at the data, bike did bloody well for a 400, Cheers paul

But my logo is visible in the video :)
I have a 2021 model. I noticed yours has an engine whine kind of like mine. Does it go ever away? It is very annoying!
what you mean?
@@mototop_ ~ Sounds like a gear whine. Mostly heard at low speeds then you can't hear it because of wind noise. Not at idle though.
@@Jim-MT ok, that's strange. At what point of the video do you hear the whine at my tested bike?
@@mototop_ ~ I heard it from about 2:35 on to the end of your video.
@@Jim-MT I would say that sound is not a problem :)
Does it vibrate a lot in high rpms?
No, it's pretty smooth
Do they calibrate the speedometer to have an advance reading? Or is it because of the wheel size?
by law it's not allowed that speedo shows more than you actually ride. That's why the manufacturers let the speedo show a little bit more. And furthermore you have a lot of slip at rear wheel at higher speeds.
what is your software to replay your GPS output with your gopro?
it's just the Gopro QUICK APP, for Smartphone or Computer. There are many tutorials for it at youtube

I think ninja 400 is faster than z400 based on top speed record.
of course, because Ninja 400 has fairing
Anyone trying to set speed records on naked 400s is missing the point.
Almost no difference with the Z650. That´s weird
no difference? 0-160 kph there's a huge difference
if 0-160 18 vs 11 sec is no diffrenc than 👍🏻
