2023 Kawasaki Z400 | First Impressions Ride Review | Get Them Whilst You Can!

[@ozzyprogdomino8815]

I have owned a z400 for three years and I love it and have no intentions to get rid of it. I have had a full A license for over 25 years, but I have no need for any more power then this. It is so much fun.

[@1000yeardragon]

I've got a 2023 Z400 too, the white and red version, and it's enough to get where you need to go but not enough to get you in trouble. I love mine, couldn't ask for a better first bike.

[@wendysharpe4568]

Riding for over 30 years, owned everything from 125 cc to 1000 cc, recently bought a z400 and loving it, its all thats needed on UK roafs, now kore than ever when comparing our roads now to when i first started riding in late 1980's.

[@1000yeardragon]

@wendysharpe4568 nice, yeah I plan on keeping mine for a long time even after I get another bike, it's a great city bike

[@florme6494]

I have the ninja 400, I think this is the perfect power for the streets. Incredibly engaging with its light weight, and ability to actually run through the gears to red line should you feel in a playful mood. As a reference I use to own a zx14r and the ninja 400 at the same time. The ninja 400 definitely got more use. But then we are all different in what we find fun. Zx14r was a lot of fun on the motorway, but for everything else I generally went for the n400.

Picked up my z500 2 weeks ago, absolutely love it!

[@Tennessee968]

The Z400 is a solid bike. Plenty quick.

22' z400 owner here. Fun little ripper! Best bang for my buck

[@jwswilliampenn]

Bought a new one of these a couple of months ago... absolutely hoot to ride.. plenty of power to have fun with and so light and nimble and agile around the twisties... had a few bikes over the years but this is just so much fun... the only problem is trying to restrain yourself from going fast everywhere!

[@muskrat3889]

Z900. Had for about a month now. Monster of a bike.

[@chrisreed3929]

I did enjoy your review greatly. Additionally it made up my mind and I snapped up one of the last new ones (same colour) for exactly £4.5k otr. I liked the fact you are used to larger but had fun with this. That's all I want. Cheap fun without losing my license. Can't wait now for delivery.

[@1000yeardragon]

I've got the white and red version of this bike and I couldn't ask for a better first bike. I put on a Leo Vince GP Corsa Evo exhaust and I swear I could feel a little power increase, maybe just from getting rid of that massive sewing machine sounding stock exhaust but still I swear it gave it a little more giddyup.

[@YouT860]

My first motorcycle. I learned on this bike, upgraded to a Tuono 660 after 2 seasons and 10 k miles.

[@YouT860]

@dunkcsa9780 I completely agree.

[@adr197900]

Just put deposit on a 2022 today. Big upgrade from my old yamaha zeal 250

[@1000yeardragon]

Nice, you definitely won't be disappointed

[@adr197900]

Got lv10 and done bout 1500kms. Awesome bike

[@1000yeardragon]

@@adr197900 I've put about 3000 miles ( ~5000km) on mine in the 4 and a half months I've had it and I've loved every min on it

[@MegaspeedX300]

Wow!. This bike is amazing, Obviously I overestimate the Kawasaki brand. Lovely and full power engine all package together.

[@paulstiller6239]

Not a real 0-60 because the speedo is off 10%, ....37 tooth rear sprocket gets you pretty close to true MPH. My wife only weighs 120 lbs. so it still scoots her along really well.

[@mohamedelamineelmanira3687]

Can I take this as first bike ? I’m looking to have new experience with motorcycle world

[@TennōVtwin]

Yes. US version is more powerful. 49 hp. I believe British version is detuned to around 45 for A2 regulations.

[@TennōVtwin]

I’m buying a brand new one tomorrow. 🤙🏽

[@trailguy]

I suspect the z500 wheelies better.

[@lightend100]

How about the z500? Z400 has been replaced by the500

[@1000yeardragon]

This was just before the Z500 came out, I got my Z400 in March and they got a Z500 in the shop like a month or so later. But honestly the difference between a 400 and 500 isn't that awful much especially on the same platform. But yeah the 500 would be noticeably quicker but not blowing your visor off so

[@lightend100]

@@1000yeardragon I ended up getting the z650 in the end. but reviews like this led me to the Z rather than the MT07 or the bm gs series. so thank you. Ive really enjoyed the Z650.

[@1000yeardragon]

@lightend100 good stuff man, yeah I just love my Z400 I looked at the MT-03 but the Z was just the bike for me. I'm looking at a Z650 or Z640RS (the retro style one) as my next bike, I hope you enjoy your Z I know I've enjoyed mine. Stay safe out there and keep two down bro
