My Current Motorcycle: Kawasaki Ninja 400
Keep on RIDING, Be SAFE, Enjoy your LIFE - Розваги
I'm happy as hell commuting on my 400 every day. I'm 6'1" 275lbs 56 years old and own a 650 and 3 Harleys
just went into the dealer and applied at the bank this morning. gonna be my first bike, im excited!
That's great to hear! You're gonna love the absolute hell out of this machine. Good luck and ride safe.
I have a ninja 400 I can confirm it's fantastic I have 14k miles on my 2023 400. The only complaint I have is the clutch durability. I had to have my clutch rebuilt ONLY because I did a wheelie and drag start and stoplights lmao. But Kawasaki fully rebuilt my clutch under warranty
@@theunluckycharm9637 holy shit 14k already??? did you take it off the truck otw to the dealer? 😂
@LackofInterest lmao dude I saved up for a fucking year to get my bike. I absolutely LOVE riding motorcycles. But yeah I'm at 14k miles and have been riding for 6 or 7 months now
@@theunluckycharm9637 i believe it now. i got mine yesterday and its already got 150 miles 😅. so much fun.
A lot of people are changing the exhaust... I'll be honest, I don't hate the stock one! You can be stealthy if you shift early, it's very silent at low RPMs, and at wide open throttle, the sound is actually pretty good I think!
By the way, this is not my first bike. I come from a bigger bike. I prefer the 400. Sure the power isn't the same... but being under 400cc, my plates are dirt cheap, so is my insurances, the bike was cheap... And I'm having an absolute blast abusing a smaller bike, as opposed to having to feather a big bike in order to stay alive and/or keep my license. With this I can have a lot of fun at wide open throttle, and I am still safe, and almost legal XD
While I haven't been to the track yet, the 400 is supposed to be a monster on the track. Very nimble, again, not the fastest in the straights because of the power, but it's like the miata of bikes. Amazing little track toy. And again the bike is cheap so if you send it in the dirt... You're not gonna cry as bad as if you'd wreck an H2R XD
I have a 2023 MT09SP and started on an R3. I really am thinking about getting another 300 or 400 class bike and I really like these 400s. Also, I love the green grip upgrades. Really fits the look. Have fun and ride safe
Come here to Germany and you can use the full potential on the Autobahn
Hello brother, love from GA. I picked up a 2023 ninja 400 also last october! It's been great, although im not gonna lie, I already feel like im kind of out growing the thing. Maybe im just going crazy but I feel i have to hunch over more recently as of riding it, it's more in my torso where it's more discomfort rather than my legs being long as the issue. On the flip side it's been excellent as a beginner and my first motorcycle i've ever owned. I live up near the mountains so plenty of amazing roads here.
I think if you do get a literbike, the ninja 1000sx is a good option for you. Nice ergos and quite a bit of power.
Also you’d probably want to track your ninja 400. Get to the point where you don’t mind if it gets beat up and it’ll make a track bike that you can really push yourself on!
I really want to turn it into just that, a track bike. If I kept two bikes I would want to keep the Ninja 400 for sure. I'll be at a demo day trying out the 1000sx in about a week and a half so ill get to see how much I like it in person
I started on a Versys 650 but i wish i started with this bike. The Ninja 400 is just so light and low to the ground it would be nicer for around town commuting then the heavy and tall versys.
The power is nice on the 650 but i dont really get to use it most of the time and barely ever get it above 3rd gear.
The ninja 400 is definitely a great commuter bike, no denying that. Eventually I will upgrade but I will try everything in my power to keep this ninja 400.
Ride safe 👍
I moved up to the 1000sx, absolutely love it!🏍️👍💪
Nice motorcycle man, I started off with a 500cc was a Honda CB500F 2015, but sold it due to moving but definitely gonna be looking at how much that bike cost here in Ireland, looks clean
Hopefully it doesn't cost you too much. It costed me around $1,300 usd extra after the fee's, taxes, uncrating, etc. Good luck with the search and ride safe 👍
I would have had the same reaction if someone turned in front of me like that haha.
Excellent 🎉
Your bike look's nice and clean. 🤘
Thanks 🔥
im probably getting a ninja 400 too when i turn 18 im super excited about it. also, what is the phonk at the beginning called? ride safe!
Been looking at this and the Z400. I guess at that point, it comes down to a slightly different seat position and looks?
Correct. Do you like the sport bike look? Or the more rugged naked bike look.
Highway driving, you're gonna have a windshield to tuck behind if you go with the ninja 400, some people don't care about the wind though
I bought one 3 days ago. The Metallica carbi Grey one. I like it but that stupid buzzing exhaust sucks so bad. I ordered an exhaust.
The exhaust really doesn't sound the best. If I do get an exhaust I would want to do a full system to at least get a performance boost
What kind of phone mount is that and how does it attach to the handle? I was looking into a rokform mount but it said it wasn't compatible with that bike because of lack of handle space.
So, I use the XL Quick Grip by Ram Mount. It uses a rail base with a ball on it and there is a part on my handle bar that is skinny enough to where it stays in place
@@DaggRevs Thank you Daggrov!
The dont max the motorcycle stuff is a myth, you don't need to baby new bikes
Also if you baby it, they get less people using warranty etc. Win win for the company
Tires is something else though, you might wanna ride a bit more attentive at first
This video almost makes me wish i got that as a first bike instead of my cbr600rr lol
Ah man, I wouldn't have felt that way if I had the 600rr 😂That's a sweet ride.
Both are fun bikes in their own way
@@DaggRevs Yeah, but its an 03 so there is no tech on it lol
lmk if you ever come to Ozaukee, you might just have to take it for a spin 😉
@@DaggRevs agreed!!
I'll buy your 600 if you are keen to sell it !
I'm in the market to buy my first sportbike, have done a lot of research and narrowed it down to three bikes, the Ninja 400, Yamaha R3 or the
Ninja ZX-4RR.
I'm leaning towards the ZX-4RR because I love the exhaust note of an inline 4 engine, it just screams and sounds like you're going insanely fast when you are going Legal speeds.
Did you consider the ZX-4RR?
600 or 1,000 Supersport bikes are kind of pointless around town because you will not be doing much shifting or wringing them out, and they are soooo fast even on the highway to have fun on them you will be breaking the law big time.
I would definitely recommend going with the ZX-4RR IF its in your price range. If you are comfortable with more power, the ZX-4RR wins. It does, however, weigh in at about 60lbs more and will be noticeably heavier then its predecessor, the ninja 400, so it won't be as flickable. (the R3 is around the same weight as the Ninja 400 as well.)
Personally I would have loved to start on the ZX-4RR but I am happy with my current bike. Hope this helped and whichever one you go with enjoy it!
Ride safe.
Something to note is that the ZX-4RR is double the price of the 400 right now. So if money isnt an issue, the 4RR is a good bike but you arent getting that much for an additional 7k. Im in the process of looking for my first sportbike as well.
@@dylan8321 The price is not justifiable at all for the 4rr, but if you want the inline 4 sound, performance, etc.
Up to the buyer really. Also, I completely agree with you on that fact that the ZX-4RR's price is inflated as hell. The budget option would be the Ninja 400.
Consider the 450SS from CF Moto. You won't be disappointed. Mine rocks with more HP than Ninja more break away speed than Honda cbr500r. Upgrades are available from manufacturer, and building aftermarket support.
I’m 240lbs and would do lots of highway riding though would a 600 be better
600s or 650s would be the better option for sure 👍
I’m torn between the 400 and 650 ninja. I currently have a dual sport that only puts down 24hp and the fastest I really go is like 75mph. Just looking for a quicker road focused bike to add to the garage. What do you think would be better for me?
You'd be saving around $2,000 if you went with the 400, (assuming that you're getting a brand new bike.) For the Ninja 650, you do get a tft display, which could be a deal breaking factor for some people.
The power between those two bikes, in my honest opinion, isn't TOO different. They are quite similar at what they do and the only real night and day difference is the tft display plus 2 traction control settings on the 650.
Ninja 650: 68hp 47 lb-ft of torque
Ninja 400: 45hp 27 lb-ft of torque
I'd try to sit down on either of the bikes to get a feel of them, maybe test ride even. See which one you like more and go from that. You can't really go wrong with either of them, its just up to personal preference.
Whichever one you go with, ride safe and enjoy 👍
Side note: The 650 weighs almost 60 lbs more, so its not as nimble or flickable as the ninja 400
@@DaggRevs not too concerned with the dash just focused on the performance 0-75 really.
@@sambruchh The 650 would be decently faster then.
It can go 0-60 in a quick 3.5/3.6 seconds
You really should invest in a new muffler. Turns the bike into a while new machine
Definitely something I want to do before I get a new bike. It'd drop some weight too.
How come yours doesn’t have the awful tail light extension?
It's a fender eliminator from Vagabond Motorsports. Fairly simple to install 👍
@@DaggRevs tu
Is it stupid for me to want a motorcycle even tho i could barely afford one? Like i wanna start riding so bad.
I was the same way lol. Waiting was painful but it pays off in the end
@@DaggRevs so you waited til u got more money lol? Or just pay small payments?
Muito bom
easily goes to 100mph, which is plenty fast for the average rider.
I pushed mine to 122 since i weigh two pounds lol
Yea that intro gotta go bro
😂
where did you get the fender eliminator kit?
TST Industries 👍
