The Z400 is maybe the most "practical" but fun motorcycle I have owned. It's got enough power and weight that you feel comfortable on the highway (yes, even on Georgia highways), but is light enough to be easy as pie in city traffic. This is not a beginner only bike. I've been riding for over 10 years and have owned bikes from 150cc to 1000cc during that time. The Z400 is a distillation of Kawasaki's experience with the smaller-middle weight class, and it shows. Just a plain old good motorcycle.

I owned a Ninja 400 for a year and man it was an awesome bike. It also sounds very good with just a €200 slip on exhaust. I had a black one and put a black screen on it and some other black/carbon bits and it looked so mean like it was a ninja 1000 (many people thought it was). Lots of people commented about how badass it looked. Actually had less fun on the street triple 675 I bought after that. It handled way better for aggressive and twisty riding and obviously was way more powerful but that little 400 engine has a lot of character.

Great video You nailed the bike! Its light weight flickability is really startling. I have Z400 in a teal blue color. I think the Z series bikes can get away with more colors besides green due to less plastic fairings. Z400 can cruise. 80mph on freeway no problem but is at home on country roads and commuting. 25 to 75 mph. Just a fun bike and good track day. I will eventually want a bigger bike for travel but I don’t need too much more acceleration.

I was really hung up on getting the Yamaha MT 03 because of all the positive comments and reviews out there. Yes, the MT is an amazing bike. However, after driving the 03 and the Z 400 side-by-side, for me it was such an easy decision, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the Kawasaki. I’m 6 feet, 185 and I am much more comfortable on the Kawasaki. I also prefer the Kawasaki clutch engagement. It’s much more forgiving than the Yamaha. Both are outstanding bikes, and I was surprised they ended up going with a Kawasaki in the end, but I couldn’t be happier. Hope this helps someone who is going back-and-forth between those two bikes as well.

This is my current bike. I got it to replace my stolen Honda CB500F which was my first bike. Had to decide if it was time for a forced upgrade, or just buy the Z straight with the insurance cash. The Z has almost the same power numbers as the Honda, but is 50+ lbs less, and revs higher. So easy to ride and goes faster than I need to be going on the road anyways. Helps that I'm 5'8" and about 160 lbs. I may upgrade to a 650 class naked in the next few seasons but really it would just be for a change, and to upgrade to a bit nicer overall component package (brakes, suspension, etc.. ). I have toured around on Southern Ontario, 6+ hour days, no problem. Weekend twisty rides, casual cruises - I'm of the mind that if you are not able to have fun on a bike you're doing something wrong. I have bar end mirrors, Musarri GP shorty exhaust, some Shogun frame sliders, the OEM lower fairing installed, which I find helps visually fill out the space where the headers are under the motor. Kreiga dry bag loops right on the subframe under the rear seat.

I was torn between this and the R3 as a first bike, and honestly, the flashy blue style was one of the main reasons why I chose the R3 (the other was the Z400's suspension, I dread the motorway as it is). But I'm from the EU, and here the only options here are lime green or black. If I had seen a red Z400, or even this orange anywhere, I might've given it a second thought.

With that mans body weight he will not get the intended experience out of this bike, so his explination would be for someone with a high bmi,,,,,, but if your a small light weight person and full throddle in 3rd past 8,000 rpm you can go flying right off the seat when the front wheel lifts off the ground just like an R1. Power delivery is 8,000rpm~10,000rpm anything below 7,000 is economy mode about 60mpg. Mind you a gy6 150cc scooter basically runs around 7,000~8000rpm 100mpg.

Great options tor city commuters are this z400, MT-03, Duke 390 (though I prefer 390 Adventure). Then get a ZXx-4RR or JTM RC390 or R3 for track. That Zx-4Rr is amazing!

Owned a 2019 model since April 2020, put 24 000 kms on it and still its going strong. This guy is super nimble and gets through traffic easy, suspension loves kicking your ass on rough roads, unfortunately the exhaust they stuck all the muffly bits at the rear so just sticking on a slipon I saw quite a bit of extra heat, ended up taking it off and putting the stock back for now.

Same situation, 2019 purchased March 2020, just hit 24000 km recently. This is my second bike, I had a CB500F that was stolen, replaced it with the insurance cash for the Z instead of having more financing on an upgrade. Great bike, I’m only about 160 lbs, so it goes just fine for me. Lots of county roads, I’ve toured around Ontario on both bikes, great around town too.

Great bike was my starter. Unfortunately I dropped her in a corner and ended up getting an mt07. I recommend that if u r a bigger rider to just stay away from the smaller ccs and just go for 650cc. As chase mentioned in the video the lightweight of the bike is what threw me off as a bigger rider. Can't beat the $4999 price either
