You gotta compare KTM 390 Duke to the R3 & NINJA 400..

[@usernamemykel]

Two days ago, I did a 74 mile HIGHWAY trip on my 2018 Ninja 400 KRT ABS, along with my club members, who mostly ride Harleys and the like. At no time did I lag behind nor feel uncomfortable on the bike, as we reached speeds up to 75 mph. I've had the bike (new) since my 74th birthday, and now, 2.5 years later, I'm still very much in love with it!!!

[@WilliamLWeaver]

I'm 53 and my Ninja 400 is my first bike. I guess your first love is always special. Glad to hear a pro is impressed with the same things. This bike is just FUN! =]

For the lazy who just wanna know N400 Vs R3 3:29 'I love analog tachometers its perfect for me' 3:58 'A lot more comfortable than the R3' 5:06 'Ninja 400 has a better induction sound than the R3' 5:38 'The brakes are surprisingly good, most motorcycles in this class have wooden feeling brakes (R3) but this one is definitely one of the better ones' 5:50 'Flicks a little bit quicker than the R3' 6:39 'Relationship b/w the throttle and engine is a little more raw than the R3 because it has more torque and feels a little more immediate than the R3. 7:11 'It feels like a sportier bike to me (than the R3), it seems to be set up a little more stiffer (while being more comfortable), 7:20 'I find the Chassis to be a little more sweeter honestly, I didn't expect it to be.' 7:50 'The Margin in difference between this Ninja400 and the R3 is 10%. Other than a litte bit of extra torque, little bit of extra flicky feel (agility), a little bit of extra comfortable seating position for longer trips that the Ninja 400 has, The ninja 400 and R3 are similar. 8:47 'it has this really pleasant way of flicking. I would love to take this thing on the track' 9:35 'I'm liking it more than i thought I would honestly' 10:40 'Feels just about the same as the R3 although it pulls a little bit quicker, 10:45 The big difference you feel in the power is low in the rev range. In the mid range you feel that extra grunt from the extra 78ccs Ninja has over the R3 (for the same price)

[@comatose3788]

This is such a beautiful bike. Nice to see someone that really knows how to ride display it. Used to own a 250, after years was even able to ride it in the winter. These smaller rock stars are way more fun than going 100 more mph. They are so easy to control they will keep you alive. Also if you love to rod around it feels like you are all the time while still staying within a comfortable speed. What else could you ever want in a bike. This 400 looks like a dream bike to me ... Not everyone is 200+ pounds.

[@chael9323]

Kawasaki has always been my go to brand. They're cheap, reliable, and great bikes.

[@fnbeansover]

Ninja 400 is all you need. Best all around bike.. Easily handles 100 mph freeway cruising speed and I weigh 235 lbs, excellent on the streets, comfortable and doesn't get hot, better handling than Allen Iverson, bang for the buck in all categories such as price, insurance, and parts. All it needs in mods is a slip on, fender kit, and very importantly new mirrors such as ninja 300 mirrors or bar ends.

[@grumpysquid]

Actually owners says it does run hot but that is normal

[@Robnoxious]

I've been doing a year long research and the ninja 400 seems to be the best beginner bike/ secondary bike (for those of which whom have a bigger bike and want something smaller) it's not the easy way out, lots of reviews and lots of bike veterans love this bike

[@enemay]

I bough a new ninja 400 krt last year. I got the 2017 model when the 2018 was out because I got a much better price for it about $800 off due to last year model. Put about 4500 miles on it, and I love the thing. Had it up to 108 mph on the highway and it gets there easy. Hint, change the exhaust for better sound. Makes a big difference, just get a slip on.

I love how i got a USB charging socket on it all the wiring is factory stock just need to buy a relay. Only Ventura makes external cargo mounts at the moment but its a great bike.

[@florme6494]

I have one of these among other bikes, some bigger. Per your description this could be the perfect bike for you. I had the same brief before I chose this one. It’s honestly so much fun and you can definitely take it on freeways. It’s probably one of the best engines for real day to day street use.

Yeah.... I learnt to ride on a GSXr400 back in 1985. Bought it new. I loved that damn bike. 55bhp, 150ish kg . Put a megacycle pipe on it and it sounded like a 750 superbike 😁❤️😁🇦🇺❤️😁. Itd stay with GSXr750s in the twisties. 215kph top end. Loved that damn bike. Had the z400 been a 4 cylinder and available in Australia derestricted for 60+bhp instead of the mealy 40ish and twindiscs not single, i might have bought one instead of the Z900 i just ordered.

[@glsracer]

The Ninja 400 is IMO far and away the best beginner bike for city commuting and track days. I went with a CBR500R due to the larger frame and more comfortable seat and suspension being better for 2 up riding on the highway. I live along the front range and it's not uncommon to have 30+ MPH headwinds or crosswinds with a 75 MPH speed limit. The Ninja is just too light and the pillion is too small. I just got back from a 100 mile ride an hour ago and I was really happy about the extra size, weight, and tire width when I was fighting 30 MPH crosswinds. It's all about what works for your type of riding.

[@ceciljacobs1221]

Watched this today after already straddling one in the showroom and deciding to buy. It looks like I made a good decision, and it will be mine tomorrow. It will be a commuter bike for me; my daily driver has "been to the moon and well along on the return trip" now (330K mi), so I needed something reliable without a big hit to the wallet in the uncertain economy we have entered because of the pandemic. I started riding over 25 years ago with a Ninja 500, then traded up to a ZX-6. Loved that bike, but it was stolen a couple of years back and just getting around to replacing it. Thanks for keeping it "real" when providing your impressions. I'm hoping my daughter will take an interest in learning to ride. If so, this will likely be her starter bike.

[@ECLIPSEGT84]

i went to this dealershio to buy an sportbike without knowing anything about sportbikes, the guy selling bikes wanted to sell this r3 so bad but theres was something i didn t like,then another guy took out the 400 i guess its the more aggresive look on the 400 made me fall in love with it and watching all videos reviews turns out i made the right choice , love my 400 . saw videos of ppl reaching almost 130 mph .and me at 70 on the highway feel like i own the world.

[@Jagshemasher]

This was a very good review and I completely understand the idea of "its good but there are more interesting options out there" but I will give a perspective on why I ended up buying this bike. To frame my perspective, I am a young at heart 60 year old and for many years I rode a Yamaha RD400 in the UK that I bought new when I was 18. As a subsequent student of mechanical engineering I got into modifying all types of bikes pretty heavily (including my own) as well as riding a lot of bikes that were pretty spicy back in their day such as the RD350LC, RG500, my brother-in-laws Yamaha Genesis 1000 etc. For various reasons I stopped riding in my late 20's - emigrating to a new country, having a family etc. In late 2021 I decided to get my motorcycle licence encouraged by my wife and my son who was also interested in getting a motorcycle licence. Having an appreciation for the benefits of training, I signed my son and myself up for a motorcycle training course. At the same time I started looking into what motorcycle would be appropriate to buy considering two key factors. The first was that I wanted a bike that my son (being new to motorcycling) would have fun on but at the same time, knowing what I knew from being an 18 year old two-stoke tearaway, I did not want to buy a bike that would get him into serious trouble (Gixxer bros). The second consideration is my own mortality - I am not 21 any more and my reactions are not what they were when I was young, neither am I as bouncy so I did not want to become another "born-again-biker" statistic. Get back into it gently was my philosophy. For me the choice came down to a KTM Duke 390 and a Ninja 400. The R3 is nice but a bit physically smaller and for the same money I will always take more horsepower that the Ninja has (despite Yamaha proclivities from my youth). My son really liked the looks of the Ninja and at the time I was buying, nowhere within 300 miles had a KTM Duke 390 in stock, so we got a Ninja 400. I am extremely happy with the choice we made and would make the same decision again. Next year I may another bike that is a more of an "interesting choice" but we will still keep the Kawasaki because it has all the elements that make motorcycling fun - the price is good, parts are cheap, its reliable, good on gas, insurance is not bad, it's very light and handles well and it is more than fast enough for normal use. My perspective per Yammie's comment on "more interesting" choices which in my mind include marques such as Aprilia, Ducati etc. come from owning a "tuned" twin turbocharged BMW - that is a fun car but its reliability sucks and believe me - anyone who thinks motorcycles are money-pits has never owned a gutsy BMW. All I can say it I'm glad we also own a couple of other boring, but incredibly reliable, other cars. So to conclude, I think the Ninja 400 is a great bike. While it may be a "lazy choice", if my laziness means I don't have to push it home because of temperamental reliability then I'm okay with that, and now that I have something I can depend on, I can buy something more "exotic" knowing I have the fun and dependable Kawi still waiting for me . . . .although being as good as it is, not sure I really need to go for anything else (except for having a wife that really likes the idea of huge cruiser-baggers with the cushy seats . . . Twisted Road here I come!)

I bought a 400 a month ago as my very first bike and newbie rider. I couldn’t stay of it , I picked up on riding quickly.

[@benwells2338]

I feel like if all riders were absolutely honest with what their needs are in a motorcycle, what they’d use it for and such, people, particularly new riders, would probably be far less concerned with CCs, power, and “outgrowing” the bike. If you’re growing bored of a bike, maybe you’re just on some boring ass roads? Haha. I’m a new rider myself and nabbed a Ninja 650 because I was looking for a good all-around bike that I could comfortably commute on the freeways with, take on long day rides, yet had the sporting characteristics when I was feeling more spirited. I think the Kawi Ninja lineup (400, 650, 1000) is absolutely perfect for this sorta thing! A bonus being that I personally think they look absolutely stellar 👌Aggressive sportbike looks without the supersport ergonomics.

[@benwells2338]

Iron Shredder totally! I mean, who am I to tell them what bike they should actually get or that their dream 600/liter bike is way too much bike for their skill, but it’s frustrating to me because they’re misguiding new riders into bikes that could possibly ruin their first experiences and even turn them off from the hobby/lifestyle. Like, who goes around telling new drivers they should absolutely get an M3 or C63 AMG? Even if you’re an experienced driver, those cars just aren’t for everyone, myself included. Bikes should be no different.

[@stevemurphy850]

I have an Fz08. I had the R3 when it came out and rode it for 3 years. I miss it. I've had many more powerful bikes and I will probably go back to the 300 to 400 class. Nothing is more fun in the corners and it's so sweet to wind out the gears and stay relatively safe. I'm looking to take out the Ninja 400 for a test ride. I sat on it at the Toronto show this year and it is a beautiful bike, and I am NOT a Kawi fan. Like to hear this with a pipe.

I love my 400 but it loves me back more. I can tell

[@TameNaz]

When yammie was saying don't buy this bike a year ago

[@brianfulwood7827]

I just got back into riding after a 20 year break and picked up a 2022 400 about 2 weeks ago. So far its mountains better on the looks and suspension side of all most everything i rode in the late 90’s. It feels like with a few mods it could run with sv650’s. One company shows dyno charts with this bike putting down 53+ at the wheel.

[@mindspinn311]

I’m going to pick one up for sure. The 2020 in white looks sharp, so does the KRT. It’s a lot of bike for the money, definitely better than the R3 maybe just not in looks, but where it matters.

[@JrapMotoVlog]

i got mine a Ninja 400 2019. i agree the decals of 2020 are great! i still got no regrets buying my n400 2019. Best of luck bro! i hope you will get your bike soon

[@michaelw6277]

What a great looking motorcycle. I’d be proud to have this as a first motorcycle.

[@calliris]

In my country the new R3 is despised by the people here, for being a failure in design, and they like the old R3 better. And people love the New Ninja's looks. I guess people here like sharp edges.

[@78logistics]

Still loving mine 5500 miles later...

[@cloe11121]

Did my iron butt 1500 on a ninja 400. It’s a solid little bike.

[@VcentGplaysGames]

I got the 2020 and love it. Didn't need the extra power, why not enjoy the price tag and feeling of the smaller bike. And I've been riding since 2014, just liked the Ninja 400 after a lot of research - not laziness.

[@quinnlaya331]

I dont really care what yammie says. I loved the ninja 400 even when he was talking smack to it.

[@kasandragray4634]

Watched all of yammie and spites videos on the lilinja. I literally watched yamster hate until he giggled like a schoolboy riding this fun little shit. Spite is always that laid back right on guy, bike is super fun, sign me up. My 400 has leo vince corsa evo, power commander, new rage cycle tuck, zero grav dark windscreen and a few other aesthetics. Love the hell out of this little bike, think a lot of riders have never had to ride a shitbox before giving opinion on these new bikes.

[@NightviperMT]

I'm smiling and enjoying that you're liking it ☺️ Kawa Kawa Brumm Brumm!! Install a Akrapovic muffler and the sound changes drastically!!!😁

[@bonkmedia]

Great review! A simple $60 slip on from Amazon makes the 400 sound fantastic. Would recommend!

[@souhailshamaissem7564]

This us a much better video than the one you did a year ago calling the 400 mediocre bike. I like to see you make a video of ninja 400 vs ninja 650

[@calebbaston6527]

Yammie!!! I just bought a 2022 ninja 400 krt yesterday :) it is my first bike and first adult purchase😎

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Dude, the dog analogy can be applied to basically any hobby involving mechanical devices. Guns, RC cars, drones, bikes and cars, and so on.

My political compass is the same as urs.

[@mauricebarlow6198]

Nice job Sir you rode the best.

[@ADDICTEDTOFOOD23]

I want this sooo bad. I've never been on a motorcycle and I really want to get into it I've bought my subscription and I really enjoy your content. Keep it coming papa Yams!!

[@calgary2800]

Imo this is the small sportbike to get. It feels so light flicking it side to side notieably more light feeling than the R3 which I use to ride.

[@brianrenteria9181]

Ninja 400 and the R3 are the kings of the smaller bikes. U can’t go wrong with either or. I’d take and R3 because of the look and it’s more affordable.

[@joshuapichardo6488]

Best bike channel on KZbin!!

[@riazbasier4124]

Haha..I saw the previous video about the bike.. Actually that vlog made helped me buy that bike. Really cool to see you riding it!✨🥳

[@jyeantonelli2851]

My first bike! Pick it up this coming Monday. Got the stealth black version.

[@christopherwallendorff1484]

I ride mine everyday to work. With 84 miles round trip the 63 AMPG is great.

[@Isthislife2135]

Late to the party but just got a ninja 400 and it is the most fun I have had in a long time. (Have an fz-09 currently for referance)

[@FroggyCrimes]

I have owned this bike for 4 months now and man I love it. Only thing that I really hated was the seat. I rode it for about 3 hrs highway and mountains and the seat was a big pain in the ass.

[@bluckq]

Most seats are. I had a versys 650 that the seat felt very comfortable but after a 5 hour mountain ride my ass was getting numb. I think a gel seat will solve the problem but make it a bit squishy on the turns

[@23Keith23]

U really do give good reviews man👍

[@deenolisecarrasco8126]

I’m in love with my 2021 ninja 400

[@revellations7741]

Yammieee you gotta do a Canada giveaway man!! I need some love!

[@photographerjonathan]

I don't consider it only a beginner bike. When I was younger I had a Ninja 900 for years and used to race through the canyons with it. and I really loved it. but now that I am older, for the last few years I have been riding a Ninja 250 for around town. that is more of what I consider a beginner bike, but recently I was thinking about getting another big bike again. so the other day I tested the MT09, and that bike was insane. it takes off like my 900 was after seven thousand rpm's but right off the line. and I decided it wasn't for me, I don't need that much power and I don't want to feel on the edge all the time, that bike is just asking for trouble, and I don't feel like being painted on some mountain side. I didn't like how the front wheel doesn't feel planted, I never felt totally safe on it. anyway I went to a Kawi dealer the next day to test a Z900. something that I thought would feel really familiar, and they didn't have it for a test, and the only bike on that day that they had for a test was the Ninja 400, so I took it out for only around 15 minutes, and I was totally surprised with how much I enjoyed it. it felt as light as my 250, but with allot more pep, and it was so flickable. I think even more than my 250, I really liked it. so much so that I have been considering getting one instead of a big bike. but there are still some other bikes I want to test. personally I would rather ride a 400 Ninja to it's full potential. then get on an MT09 that I can't get close to it's potential. and I bet on the 400 Ninja I could burn allot of bigger bikes through a smaller canyon like the one you were on in this video.

[@hmmnice9896]

Me: *sees a Ferrari* yammie: yea just me talking about the r3

[@billb8262]

For anyone who hasn't owned a parallel twin, the sounds in the video are little different from one with much larger displacement. I had a Triumph America with an 865cc parallel twin and it sounded the same with stock exhaust. They can be made louder for sure, but the engine output sounds remain similar but more throaty. Whichever is chosen, the sound will remain similar across brands and displacement sizes and once used to it, not a big deal at all.

[@richardfarabaugh7604]

I absolutely agree about Kawasaki not being a boring manufacturer. I am of the solid belief that they run a close second to Yamaha among the big 4. I put it in the order from best to boring Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda and the Suzuki last. Opinions?

[@dastitus8057]

Please put on an Arrow GP2 Slip on. I’ve got one on my 400 and it sounds extremely good

[@danielazpurua468]

Me too!

[@Steve-ec6ed]

This is a great bike if you like the styling of a sportbike but dont want to be pulled over every time you ride. You can still have a lot of fun, you can still speed, you'll save gas and you still look cool to everyone around you (as long as they're not listening to it - sorry had to). Plus for the price you really cant go wrong.

[@josephhong5129]

Geez, sound like Ninja 400 have the serious good handling at the price range, makes me wants to get one , My MT07 cornering is abit scary (I own MT07 2019 model)

[@grumpysquid]

Why is MT07 scary in corners? Not stable? Power too much?

[@JrapMotoVlog]

I don't get it why people call it mediocre. Mediocre means not very good quality, but it is the best in it's class. i see n400 perfect in it's class. comfy, Speed, maintenance, everything!

[@Cal-El]

I’m definitely going N400 to ZX25R to CBR650R. Should be a nice little progression in power and skill.

[@clvdragon2208]

Looks like a awesome bike i definitely want a bike soon but damn expensive here in South Africa. Enjoying your video's

[@gilmacababbad8526]

Hey dude, is it possible for you to review the cbr 500r in comparison with the ninja 400?

[@moet1114]

I want this as my first bike

[@jerolandmabanan6745]

this is one of my dream bike since I'm a beginner, I want to buy this but I don't have enough money to buy it. So right now I'm starting to save up some money to buy this ninja400 for my dream bike at the moment.

[@beast_mode_4200]

This bike should be a easy financer if your into that since it's only around 4500-5000$ USD

[@jerolandmabanan6745]

@@beast_mode_4200 yep, i've got to keep that in mind. thanks bro.

[@Lugare2011]

I bought the Z version of this bike earlier this year and I will say it's amazingly fun to ride.

[@justsaiyansteve]

Yea I have one, it's really nice. I can't wait for the ZX-25r, that 250cc 4 cylinder is going to be a blast, definitely review that one.

[@MrSkarbek36]

JustSaiyanSteve I hope they release it here, I want that as a first bike

[@vali69]

@@MrSkarbek36 i think they will release it internationaly... but not yet... and i think its going to be price-wise around 8-9k dollars

[@MrSkarbek36]

Shadow V. What a shame, the only good sounding smaller bike that sounds good.

[@vali69]

@@MrSkarbek36 well the price is due to the engine.... it is small but as its an i4 it has more components then a twin, obviously, and that increases the manufacturing cost... plus because of this if tge had the same equipment as on the ninja 400 for example it will cost like 7k, more then the 400 and i think the 650 so why not add better suspension, brakes and electronics to make it feel premium? So yeah... it might be close to 10k tbh... but we'll have ti wait for eicma for more details

[@dudders___1684]

Throw an SC Project exhaust on that bad boy and you’ll really have some fun

[@legionofsentinels]

We have the same bike .LOS Highly recommend the ninja 400.

The caption for the start of the video is very accurate. 👌🏼

Yammie Noob riding on a Ninja pleasantly surprised by how much he likes it - Still a better love story than Twilight

[@jazbuh1794]

21:05 "limited on space.. focused into one area" that's it right there! I was looking the Ninja 400 but now I feel like I will be getting the Honda NC700x (with Clutch) for the MPG, built in storage and option to add a more aggressive tire and skip plate to ride down lime rock or gravel roads with having to get an adventure bike or dual sport. I like the dual sport idea by I have too much highway to ride on. Might still get a Ninja 400 later just for fun or to teach my son to ride.

[@franknguyen22]

Love this bike black is my favorite, clutch is so so light,,,awesome

[@RagingThrottle]

Man you just do my thing 🔥🔥

[@chop2093]

Had a 2019 ninja 400 for 6 months. Liked the bike. Was fun to ride. Handled awesome. I just was expecting more power and I really hated the sound of the parallel twin engine.
