Any thoughts on the choice between this and a cb300f as a first bike? I've rode a cb300f before but for only $50 more I don't know which would be better as a first bike, which would be used in the city 95% of the time

I wouldn't go as far as stating great, it's just inherent in what it is and has been this way for a very long time. Lower price and harder for a newb to let it get away from them are the two biggest benefits. Less complicated? I don't think that is much of a factor, any modern bike trends towards more complicated and yet it isn't necessarily any more complicated than the same thing except heavier and larger cylinders, etc. Then there's the argument, is fuel injection more or less complicated? Depends on what goes wrong, I for one am happy to not have a carb.

@Andrew Humphrey Even with that, I still wouldn't worry about it. My 2016 DRZ400SM costs $23 a month with Geico with partial(90%) coverage, and my 2017 SV650 alone costs around $32 with the same coverage as my DRZ which totals to about $55 a month, also with Geico. Age also determines insurance rate, so if you're over 25, it gets cheaper, and insurance companies tend to be hard on sport bikes, but the Z400 is a naked bike so it should be cheaper.

Redwanovic the thing about being 5’8” is we fit on almost every bike. Go to the dealer and sit on bikes. Make sure to ask but when you do go don’t buy right away because sales person are trained to pressure you depending on the quota of the dealership. Better to research though. I went in well informed on the ninja/z400 because it’s a fairly cheap bike new (prices were dropped since it’s previous year model). I say watch videos between the R3/MT03, Ninja/Z400, and RC/Duke390 if you’re going for new since these bike are amazing bikes. You can actually find used ones too but just make sure they have service records and all that. Just my own tip. I’ve had a ninja 400 since February and it’s a fun bike

The bars could be a little bit higher, maybe I would put a bar riser like I did on the SV. I would also put some rubberized foam/filler inside the bars to quell some of the excessive vibrations which may be a killer on touring rides. Finally a tall windshield for them touring rides, which can be long and fast on Florida Hwys.

Loving this bike for a sub 600cc motorcycle. KTM needs to get it's act together with that RC and Duke. They developed a 800 twin, they can develop a 400 twin with that beautiful 285° crank. Personally as an experienced rider who has had a little of everything and demoed a little of everything, the Ninja 400 would be my choice for a second bike, turned into a project. Suspension, brakes, power, controls, etc. would be a superb funster, 350 pounds and nearly 50 hp. Nothing else quite offers the same weight category while having good reliable power to boot.

Snow is melting spring is in the air and I still don’t know which bike I prefer to get, the z400abs or ninja400. On top of that 2017 ninja 300 with zero miles on em are selling super cheap where I live. Looking for a comfortable but fun commuter. Looking for a low cc bike tired of getting into trouble on public streets. Years ago there was hardly any cops where I live now I really have to watch how much I twist.

@ForTheOmnissiah

My bottom-line is that naked bikes just look cooler to me. Where I am, every random normie buys a sportbike and thinks they're cool for having it, and rarely do people pick up a naked bike, they're quite rare of a sight here. I'll pick up a sport bike for the look and get basically the same performance, yet more comfort, as a sport bike of the same caliber. It's ironic that the naked bikes, supposedly catered toward people uncomfortable with sport motorcycles, get picked up more by more experienced riders. The performance to comfort ratio is by far the most important aspect to riders. Most people buying sport bikes don't fully grasp the discomfort of it for daily riding for leisure. Get a naked bike if you want a good time and a lot of power.

Got my 2019-2020 Z250 this week. In my country we have both Z250 and the Z400 but if I'm getting the Z400 ,I'm gonna need to upgrade my license and that's a lot of money. The folks at the dealer said the fork assembly for the Z400 uses the same model as the Z250. But I'm looking for a fully adjustable fork kit (cartridge kit) and all I can find is the ones for the Ninja 400. Are those can be used on the Z400? Cause if that's the case, they can also be used on my Z250.

What is the recommended gear when riding on a hill? My Ninja 400 stalled when I got on a hill in 4th gear.
@spartanx169x
@spartanx169x 2 жыл бұрын
It greatly depends on the hill. You should know what gear to be in by how the engine sounds and how much throttle you are having to give it to maintain speed. If you are having to give it a lot of throttle to maintain speed, it would have to be a steep hill and thus a lower gear would be better. If you stalled it, its your own fault for not putting it in a lower gear when it started to bog down.
