FZR400RR from 1992, what a special machine! Never gets old :)
Damn good riding by both of them
Great video, very telling of that N400 machine. The FZR 400 was a great little 4 cylinder.
So basically Japanese manufacturers are going backwards in 400cc to 250cc sports motorcycle categories. It's hilarious that FZR 400RR is running carburetors, imagine this engine with fuel injection.
Yeah, pretty sad really. Likely due to the extra equipment and conservative tuning for emissions.
It's mainly due to various countries adding age-licence restrictions, stopping younger riders from getting anything bigger than bikes like the ninja 400 / rc390
@@harley-rayhillman3701 ye plus reliability but you see a lot of smaller bikes specially the kawis
400s were a big deal back in Japan back in the 90s. They were higher spec than 600s of the period with aluminum frames and swingarms. It's also pretty hard for twin to compete with an inline 4 of the same displacement. And a brand new Ninja 400 will cost less than a nice 25 year old imported grey market 400.
It's been a few years since I have seen a Fzr400 on the market. Rare these days.
Great post. A FZR 400 was my first ride!!
My first street bike as well. Got a 1989 FZR400 back in 1990 after I graduated high school. dang... I'm old AF. Aloha!
How cute, they both reached the line at the end holding hands together after 23 minutes in what amounts to 2 bikes which are way different...
Great video.
That FZR400RR sounded nice in the video.
inline 4 vs parallel twin what do you expect 😂😂
surprisngly evenly matched thought the fzr would have had it, loos like a right giggle
Very good race
Wow, what fun to watch. I always wanted to give a Fzr400 a try but never did. You can't find them these days. Finally Kawasaki made something about as fast and fun. I wishit was an in line 4 but hey, in checking them out it seems owners really enjoy them... I might give one a try.
You may want to wait for the zx-4r now :p
Nice riding both of you..by the way Is that a hindle exhaust on the ninja 400?
6 keyboard Mick Doohans didn't like this.... I love it !!
Very nice! Gotta be small to win races on these.
Can literally hear the crankshaft banging the valves when doing down shift
What's the tune on the FZR? Supersport? Superbike? Just to compare the two bikes?
Supersport, it has a stock engine except for the charging system
I was wondering how tall you are. I'm 190cm, would I fit the FZR400?
5 ft 6 in,that bike is made for smaller riders I believe.Its smaller and lighter weight then modern 600's. Mine is the 1992 3tj
@@apriliaman thx for your reply!
Im 6ft and im fine on my fzr
I'm 6 foot 5 inches (in mm?) and have had mine since 1990!
I am 182cm, fit nice on my fzr88
UNDOUBTLY FZR400RR CAN KICK THE NINJA ASS ANYDAY BABY, Think the guy need a entire weekend to get a faster time
top D+++
👍💪
givin er the berrrrries
ninja rider is insane!!!
Fzr isnt even going WOT sometimes. Better safe than sorry
It is called strategy, sometimes you don't need to pass and wait for the laps to pass till the end, passing back and forth is slower sometimes.
cbr 400 rr and vfr400 💪💪
Good riding. Seems like the ninja 400 has the upper hand in braking and cornering.
I agree David. The Ninja has the advantage in the corners. When the Yamaha can take advantage of the draft on the straightaway, it has the advantage.
@@donaldames124 Still the Ninja led.
4 cylinders vs 2
which was the top speed ?
127MPH,my 1988 does 130MPH but it is slower in the turns.
stock engines
@@apriliaman Does that FZR have a slipper clutch?
@@smibru No it has a stock clutch.
@@apriliaman Then you are a faster rider then the guy on the Ninja 400. That slipper clutch is REALLY helping him a lot and you and him were neck and neck the entire time!
That's beautiful. See when you hear the wind.. if you're the rider all you hear is the wind.
They will go home with busted eardrums.
Who are you racing? It looks like Penguin racing suit? Is that ben gloddy?
It was Teagg Hobbs. I was racing with.
@@apriliaman Cool. They're both local racers here in nh. Good kids.
