2019 Kawasaki Ninja 400 Review - Would I Buy Again?

[@Motoboo_Marine]

Dude you totally delivered with this review. I'm totally gonna be picking one up. I also really love how you only use your own footage.

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks mate! I appreciate the kind words and am really glad people are enjoying it. Perhaps consider subscribing if you'd like more :) What kind of content would you enjoy seeing next? Any other topics you would like to see covered?

[@Motoboo_Marine]

@@Kwackajack personally, I wouldn't mind if you just did some basic ride along videos. They're really easy, since you don't have to edit them much or talk a lot. I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy that. I watched your earlier vlog and thought you could do something similar, but without the music (just my opinion), since I prefer just hearing the engine sound. Hope it helps man!

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for your input and glad you enjoy the videos! Will take that onboard :)

[@temeriando22]

Went to take my Knowledge Test today for my Motorcycle Permit did not passed here in PA be going tomorrow im going to buy a Ninja 400 for sure..

Good luck! I’m sure you’ll love the ninja

I’m 5’11 although my license says I’m 5’12 lmao, I’m sad to find out the mt03 and the Z300 weren’t sold in the USA either at all or until last year for the Yamaha, any other baby naked bikes you guys can think of? I’d like a naked 300 to start off with

[@BigBossGR]

[@Fee.1]

BigBossGR wait isn’t the mt07 a 650-700’ishcc motor

[@BigBossGR]

@@Fee.1 yes but it's not as fast as a supersport. Its heavier for sure .Check the reviews. I personally I'm uncertain I might get a ninja650 because of its built quality

[@brandoncollogan526]

i’ve been looking at getting my bike licence for a very long time, and out of all the bikes i’ve looked at, sat on and reviewed, the ninja 400 has been my top pick ever since i found it. even as a young kid, my mum always told me i should get a ninja so i’ve always had a passion for it. so much appreciation for your review man, literally the best review i’ve watched and it’s basically set my love for the 400 in concrete! safe riding out there dude, can’t wait to get on the road soon too.

[@Kwackajack]

Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment! Glad you got a lot of value from the vid. You’ll absolutely love the bike. Currently uploading a new video showing you exactly the kind of experiences you can have with it, stay tuned!

[@clinteastcoast]

Bought a brand new 2020 model 3months ago for 7k, love the bike it's a great ride.

[@zachmiller1571]

Bought a 2019 400 for 3 months and learned on it, loved it! Sold it for the 2019 ZX-6R and haven’t regretted it for a second. More power and much smoother. If you have some self control you can learn on the 600 very easily (go on flat ground and slowly release the clutch). The 400 had much more trouble to get going with just the clutch thus having to use throttle to learn right away. So in that sense the 636 is easier to learn on! So if you have a bit extra cash, look into it at least before you buy the 400.

[@Kwackajack]

The 636 is definitely on my list of bikes I’m looking to upgrade to when I have my unrestricted license here in Aus!

[@adrianlapaz5505]

I wanted to zx6 thing is in my country its like double the price of the n400. SO i settled on a 400.

[@Fee.1]

That’s a 600cc class though right? Much higher revving compared to 650 class and less torque down low? Is that right ?

@@Fee.1 yup it's an inline four the 650's are parallel twins

[@Fee.1]

jayaditya t everyone I’ve seen says they love them but the 650’s make far more sense for the street. I know someone with a 390 that was disappointed their r6 felt more sluggish down low which is mind blowing to think about although the ktm 390 is super torquey and even jumps the 400 so Idk

[@vrooms12]

I liked your review and if I buy a bike - this is it!

[@Kwackajack]

Glad you got some value from it! New video up very soon testing the 0-100 time!

[@oxXHITMANXxo508]

Great review bro! Just picked up my 2020 ninja 400 last week. I agree with everything you said especially the highway bit! Haha scared me pretty good at 70mph getting pushed around.

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed :) congrats on your new bike, I’m sure you already love it. Stay safe out there!

[@johnnewton1540]

Nice to see an Aussie review. I added a double bubble screen to my 300 has helped the aerodynamics on the highway. Well done mate.

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, always appreciate it 🙏🏻 do you find the double bubble also helps with not getting pushed around on the highway? I don’t mind the wind but being pushed around the lane can be frustrating

[@lukastonebris9386]

only 1 thing I would change is that you should edit your video with a couple of headlines, as well as put the timeline in your description. As for anything else, they are extraordinary, really love it dude. You gave the pros and cons, comparison in different contexts and consumer needs, which is a big plus. Oh, and 1 more thing, I would recommend you to talk about other things like the caster angle, how you maneuver it in the parking or narrow alley, how is it like when you have to U-turn the bike, etc., things that no other reviews ever mention. You would think that the majority of people planning to get a motorcycle would know this but it's all the way in the opposite. One time my friend and I went to a motorcycle promotion event and saw a Fireblade rider struggling himself try to park his bike in line, that's something I have never knew of from review videos or articles. Stay solid and peace.

[@Kwackajack]

Great feedback mate! Thanks for leaving a comment and glad you enjoyed the review. I’ll take that advice on board!

[@joeroth3666]

This was a very honest, real world review. I have a sapphire black 2019 ninja and I love the bike. Especially after riding my vulcan for a while, I jump back on the ninja and it excites me all over again.

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for the positive feedback mate! Glad you enjoyed. It is a great bike :) I like the look of those vulcans, how does it ride?

[@joeroth3666]

It's a pretty comfortable ride. I have a 2020 vulcan 900 custom. Its a bit heavier to pick up but once you're moving the weight isn't as noticeable. Does pick up a bit of vibration over 70mph but not bad or discouraging. Biggest difference is on the body. I don't get nearly as sore riding for long distances.

[@Banguts]

I’ve had my 2019 400 since December but still had to watch lol, good stuff

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for leaving a comment! I’m sure you’re enjoying your Ninja as much as I do mine

[@lashachakhunashvili1399]

After a long period of research and head scratching, I think I'm finally considering Ninja 400 as my first bike, having already eyed Ninja 300 and Yamaha R3. Glad I found the channel. Ride safe mate!

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed this review of the Ninja 400! If you did, consider checking out my latest review of the Kawasaki Z650 on my channel aswell! Thanks again :)

[@thatninjarider]

Good review man I've had mine around the same amount of time, similar kays too. It's been faultless. Agree with the ergonomics call though, a more aggressive position would be nice but I think it's a good middle ground. I looked at the KTM RC390 and I found it way too cramped

[@Kwackajack]

Glad you enjoyed the review, thanks for leaving a comment :) yea the RC390 was on my radar when looking aswell. I liked the looks, but it was a bit cramped for me and since I don’t do track days I didn’t think it was the right choice for me.

[@TyRRcorner321]

I live Vietnam, i got my ninja 400 nov 2018. Its a lot more expensive but worth the price. In vietnam 400cc is the best range of cc for commuting. There is a lot of traffic, ninja 400 is a not to big bike to ride around the city and has enough torch to pass others vehicle in a short safe time

[@Kwackajack]

It’s a great bike! Glad you enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks for leaving a comment :)

[@chris.hetherington_realestate]

Nice review! - I agree entirely. I just sold my 2018 Ninja 400 yesterday and put a deposit down on a new Ducati V2. Ninja 400 was the best learner bike imo!

[@Kwackajack]

Legend! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 🙏🏻 those Ducati’s are just something else all together, and I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t looked at the V2’s on Bikesales more than a couple times. I’m sure you’re gonna love it!

[@jasonr.9520]

used for 6k!!! I got mine tax titled and out the door for $5,400. they are a lot cheaper in the states. great bike btw I love mine. Dont let anyone tell you that you need a 600 or bigger to learn on cuz you'll get bored. its just not true and you'll learn to be a much better rider starting off smaller. Also if you're skilled you can destroy big bikes on the track. my buddy is good and he crushed a bunch of guys on 600s who thought that they had him beat easy. shifting, cornering, breaking and seat position are more important than power. But the 400 has good torque low end, mid and high it's what really sets it apart from other smaller bikes. it's high reving motor and generous power band make for a really fun ride. small bikes can suck of under powered but Kawasaki really got this one right. I'll take ripping through the gears and flicking it into corners any day over never getting out of second gear in town with a 600. Oh and in case your wondering yes it has plenty of power to wheelie. The only thing I HATE about the bike is the shitty rock hard seat. Everything's fantastic and then boom they went with the cheapest hardest shit seat possible. Replace it with an aftermarket gel cover or seat and ur good to go. One of the funnest bikes I've ridden and I'm glad I have one!

[@Kwackajack]

Yep! Dealer Demo for $6000, but that's Australian Dollars. 6000 AUD would be around $3900-$4000 US dollars. so considering that it's an absolute bargain ;) Glad to hear that there are a lot of other people out there enjoying the 400's! As I said in the review I think this is a great engine size as you can get so much out of it. Seems like you find this too. I have never really had much issue with the seat hardness but have heard of others having that problem. Do you think you will ever upgrade to a bigger bike? Also, thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

I purchased a ZX6R for $8k.. 400 is a nice bike but i think if your responsible you can handle a 600 as your first bike especially bc the difference between the 400 and zx6r is huge difference! Good video brotha!

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks mate!

[@vintagetintrader1062]

Most of the world has a learner bike class of some sort. Not able to ride a bike over 660cc and with a big power to weight. As a example, in Australia we have a version of the MT07, it has a throttle restrictor and is made 10cc smaller to just get it under the maximum CC allowed. I had a 2015 model but changed the throttle (I’m on a full licence so not illegal to do so)

[@ZoeyTaylor1994]

Having started on a ninja 300, to a ninja 650, to a ninja 636, I do not recommend the 636 for a starter bike at all. Learn on the 400, it’s better in numerous ways. It’s cheaper, easier on insurance, easier to learn on especially for the road test part of the M1 endorsement, and you won’t feel as gross when you drop it in the drive way because you stepped off wrong, or turned on gravel on the highway and lay it down. The 600 should come after a year or two or the 400. Imo.

[@milova8313]

Great review On a sidenote the brakes on the ninja 400 are best in class, rear brakes are always a lot weaker tho, usually 70 % front / 30 % back

[@JeremieBartoli]

That was a pretty good review. +1 sub dude, that's good and proper work

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for the support mate! Glad you enjoyed :) what would you like to see next?

[@maxwellturner5237]

Good to see us at 6ft can still ride comfortably, unfortunately im restricted to 125cc due to eu restrictions :/ but im getting a ninja 125 and ive been riding for nearly a yr on a more cruiser sitting, good to see that the more sporty position isnt unbearable. Nice Vid

[@Max-mx8cy]

Handling it deserves more. I can keep up with 600cc superbikes in the twisties.The suspension is pretty tight. Almost too tight for bumpy roads. Once i'm on a smooth Road its amazing.

[@danielharry1075]

I review bikes(and cars for that matter) for a living and your Ninja 400 review is rather bang on the money. Regarding the brakes, front you merely replaced the pads with a better grade which will enhance braking performance(till the ABS interfere). The rear brake, well you don't really use the rear brake on any sportbike to brake but rather for in corner balance and even more so on track hence the "weak" feel. And you right the Ninja 400 is not a begginer's bike, it just a bloody good little sportbike which is deeply enjoyable. The twin parallel engine is class leading. And make sure to take it to a track day as that is insanely fun to do plus you learn a lot. Great track training is the best performance part you can add to any motorcycle.

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, I appreciate it. Glad to hear you got some value from the review! Your ‘for a living’ sounds like my dream job and I’d love to pick your brains about how you got started and your process going into making a review. Please any advice or constructive criticism is always welcome 🙏🏻

[@danielharry1075]

@@Kwackajack passion is key and consistency a must. Ride as much bikes as you can and listern to what seasoned riders especially reputable test riders from well-known publications say. Get connected to your favorite bike publications(social media works great in this eegard),importers and dealerships and invest in those relationships. And when getting to review always speak your mind and never go back on your opinions as those are yours and never fear to entertain a reader. Ignore the haters and never waste your time on them. Start writing and offer your work for free to get your name out there. If you have the passion and the fire you will make an impression and if this Ninja 400 review is anything to go by then you off to a great start.

[@Kwackajack]

This is great advice, thank you for sharing it. I try to go above and beyond with what i deliver video-wise but also with engaging with everyone who takes the time to comment on the videos. I think that's really important. Sticking firm behind what you say and your opinion is also very true and it can be hard to do when somebody strongly disagrees or it goes against what the general consensus is, but I'm learning quickly the best ways to go about it. Appreciate the support mate, hope to bring more quality content for you going forward

[@Cheekymonkeytoday]

Great review, subbed to channel, great to see an Aussie reviewer, I got this bike 3 months back after not riding for 5 years though I'd start back on the 400, and have to say made the right choice before going back to a bigger bike. rode down to Sydney via Putty Road then back by Old Pacific Hwy, and it did not fail to impress, the slipper clutch is such a welcome plus it goes where you point it. At 181cm it can be a little tight hence ordering the aftermarket seat which helps, and totally agree about the pipe, changed mine within a week, I'd say on the second-hand market plenty will come with an aftermarket pipe.

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Glad you enjoyed. What bike are you looking at after the 400?

[@MuddyTubMedia]

Good review! I’m strongly considering one, coming from years of dirt bikes. I sold my 2015 YZ250 2 stroke. I’m used to a fast accelerating bike, so I’m a little worried I’ll miss that. But I think this bike would be a lot of fun

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed. I’m sure it’s got more than enough acceleration to keep you entertained for a while :)

[@dcar7446]

Go for the 650 Kawasaki class it as a beginner bike

[@MuddyTubMedia]

D Car I ended up buying a 2013 Yamaha FZ8 and I love it. About 90 horsepower. 90mph in second gear. Definitely won’t need more power, but not fast enough to scare me. The 650 would have been a better option for me than the 400 for sure.

[@dcar7446]

@@MuddyTubMedia cool nice bike I'm actually looking myself and thinking about getting a bike as well if I go with a sport bike most likely it'll be the ninja 650 just love the name and look and if I go with a cruiser HD iron 883, Indian scout 60 or a Vulcan s or rebel 500

[@chrisrobinson1613]

Im not a begginner. Used to roll a 636 but im 47yo. Insurance on a 636 1k a year. 300 for ninja 400 and its half the price. I will miss the 636 sound but its a small sacrifice for the cost

[@gabrielrojas2781]

Excelent review bro, keep making videos

[@sephkateno1037]

As a new buyer the biggest letdown so far is the basic setup on the controls and the instruments. Though when I first got on it I was like wow this is so light.

[@Kwackajack]

For sure, it's not a bad dash, just basic as I mentioned. Although, some beginner bikes don't have a gear indicator at all so it's nice to have that. It's definitely a light bike and that has its pro's and con's too. What's your favourite thing about the Ninja?

[@sephkateno1037]

@@Kwackajack versatility is my best thing. Like you said it can overtake most every day use cars but still have a low fuel consumption. Do you own by any chance the softer/higher seat? Do you believe it's worth the money comfort wise.

[@Kwackajack]

Absolutely, it’s a great bike! Nah I don’t have any aftermarket seats/pegs, I think if you were looking to go to the track then it would be worthwhile. But for everyday riding I don’t think you’d need them :)

[@chrissorreda4982]

If you want to adjust the riding position to a more aggressive one, i suggest getting Woodcraft clip-ons (1 inch forward, 1 inch down from stock), plus a Norton Supersport seat (Adds 2 inches to the seat height)

[@Kwackajack]

Good advice! I may look into doing that someday. I am pretty happy with the seating position at the moment but if I were to do track days that would definitely be on the cards. Thanks for watching!

[@tiktoksarelame9721]

Great review. I think you helped me seal the deal on my first bike. I always loved the green and black ninja's. I started looking a few years ago when their were only 300cc bikes which I felt I would outgrow quickly and the ktm but that looked to small and seemed more rugged which i didnt want. Now I found myself looking again and the 400 seems perfect. Definitely getting the abs krt edition. Dealers around me are trying to make room for new models so they have them as low as $4,290 usd for a brand new 400 abs krt edition. Which is about $6,300 aud. So as you said I don't think anything can beat it for the price and it shouldnt go down to much in value.

[@Kwackajack]

Absolutely! You’re having pretty much the same thought patterns I was having when I was looking for my first bike. This is an excellent choice. Glad the video could help!

Hi! Glad you enjoyed the video. I would probably stay away from anything under 250cc if possible just because I think you’ll get bored of it very quickly. The Ninja 400 has a great amount of power as I say in the video and I can definitely recommend as a beginner bike :)

Would be better with the 4 cyclinder 400 engines that used to rule the class. You should find an old school zxr400 and compare, they're like riding a two stroke with all the power at 12000rpm.

[@Kwackajack]

A 4cyl 400CC engine would have a lot more power than the parallel twins in the ninja 400. I’d like to ride a 4cyl bike to see the difference in engine output and delivery. The zx6r is on my shortlist for bikes to upgrade to when I’m able to ride on a full unrestricted license here in Aus!

[@lancehughes571]

I bought a 2nd hand 400 in Dec cheap as primo condition had 5.8ks on the clock and atm it’s on 16.6ks. I’ve done 10.8k in 7ish months. Love the bike, debating weather or not I should get the 650 or zx6r

[@Kwackajack]

Very easy bike to fall in love with! The 650 and zx6r are two very different bikes.. if you want a higher powered ninja 400 then the 650 is the go. However the zx6r is a race replica bike so seating position, engine performance and set up will be very different. Has a lot more power and less forgiving. In saying that, I’m looking to upgrade to the zx6r from my ninja 400 to experience that power!

[@grumpysquid]

Thumbs up ! I like the video and audio in this. And you have a mellow demeanor with straightforward feedback and info. Questions, can we adjust the clutch cable or shifter to make it less loose? Also what exhaust is good to replace the huge factory one from bothering my right boot? I don’t want a too loud/annoying exhaust for aftermarket.

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, glad you enjoyed! What kind of content would you like to see next? I think you may be able to adjust the cable to make it looser, I adjusted it a bit when I first got it. I have a Leo Vince on mine which sounds good but is very loud. You may like the akrapovic slip on, it’s a bit smaller and sounds better than the stock pipe but isn’t too loud 👍🏻

[@grumpysquid]

Kwackajack Thanks for the exhaust info. You know what would be so unique and awesome? If you do a motovlog where you take your N400 on your daily routines and excursions. Keep dialogue to a minimum. Because you seem to have a natural and poetic journalist presence. Combined with the awesome video zooming and movements you showed, and crisp audio. It would look awesome. Kind of a like a live journal/diary. The cinematography would have to be just right. I think you could really hit that off.

[@grumpysquid]

Think “fortnine” but remove the sly comments and comedy.

I agree with you on value and looks but disagree with the engine. Its a beginner bike so the next bike would be a bigger engine like a 600 or a liter. And 4500 USD for a ninja 400 krt is an awesome deal

[@W00lfyy]

And i finally found someone about 185 cm.. But still can't chose between Ninja 400 and CBR500r.. It's so tough to chose any bike IMO.. Need to compare sitting comfort but i think i would rather go with Ninja 400

Yea the brakes aren’t the greatest, I think the front isn’t too bad but I am not a big fan of the rear

[@chiefbeceatbp1846]

@Redrum 😁 done that, but it only made the wheel to suddenly veer to the right. If you haven't own Ninja 400 you won't understand 🤣🤣🤣

[@jeffreybersabal7769]

[@tiktoktrending3891]

Good video man! That’s a cool bike

[@Kwackajack]

Sure is! Thanks, glad you enjoyed :)

[@estevangarcia2690]

Nice review 😉

[@Knautschfriese]

Thx for the review. This Motorcycle looks interesting for me. The Clipons are not soo deep as usual with supersportmotorcycles, thats great. And the look is awesome :-) At the moment i ride a GSX-S125. Riding this bike on the highway with wind from the side.....well....its my dancing pony ;-)

[@Kwackajack]

You will see a HUGE difference between this and a 125. This is a great bike and I highly recommend :)

[@liquidmccloud6590]

I have a 636 but I still enjoy riding my 400 at times

[@Kwackajack]

I’m seriously considering upgrading to a 636 when my license is upgraded, they look like a really great bike

[@ddw-ge1ss]

Honestly the best review I’ve seen, great job.

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for taking the time leave some feedback! Have another review of the Z650L coming shortly too!

[@ThatGamerGuyNL]

dude, get the z900 if you are going to upgrade, love the torque of this 4 cyl!

[@Kwackajack]

Don’t mind them, but would prefer the z1000! Those are sexy

[@maxipete100]

In my experience, the ninja 400 has serious weak brakes and the engine vibrates a lot. The power it’s ok but the way that delivers it it’s not the best (it delivers the power up to 6-7k rpm). Also the suspensions aren’t very good at all. Recently i have bought a triumph street triple S and the differences are very noticeable especially on brakes, engine and suspensions. I honestly would not buy it again and when you have been in it for a while and want to go faster you end up bored because it does not give more power. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad bike but there are better options on the market for a similar price.

[@Kwackajack]

You’re entitled to that opinion. What option for a beginner for that price would be better? Unless you get a used older bike but that comes with its own issues and may not be suitable for a new rider

[@maxipete100]

Kwackajack For example the ninja 650 or the mt-07. And if you don’t want to limit the power you have the R3 or the RC390 that both of them have better components. I’ve had fun with the ninja 400 but looking back I would have bought another bike.

[@carlsitler9071]

I paid $3150 when the dealer put it on sale. Zero miles. Price is 10 out of 10. More than enough power for the road but not so much that you can get in trouble in half a second like my old super bikes.

[@Kwackajack]

Is that US dollars mate? Either way you got a bargain! Glad to hear you're loving yours as much as I do mine

[@carlsitler9071]

@@Kwackajack Yes, US dollar. I strapped a gel pad to my seat, painted the windscreen black and installed a couple hard side boxes and a top box. Now it is my new work truck.

[@wrektem240]

So I’m torn between the 400 or the r3. But if the 400 wins because of speed and whatnot, why wouldn’t I just get a 600. Ugh gonna see what the dealership has good deals on tomorrow. Can’t wait to get back on two wheels

[@Kwackajack]

400 is faster, r3 is a little better in corners. Basically all it comes down to. 600CC are usually race bikes and a lot different, but you could look at a 650CC. They are good all rounders aswell!

[@AsteroidPlease]

Get a 600 so you can grow into it. Just respect the power. You'll get bored with anything less after a month.

[@kwicksandz]

getting a demo bike for $6k is a steal. im trying to track down a good deal and im seeing bikes with around 10k km, 2018 models sold for 6.6k. i prefer the 2020 krt colours but thats currently at 8k....

What a nice bike? I love motorcycle. I am going to get Ninja 400. Ninja z400 vs Ninja 400 KRT? what you recommend? please stay connected. Thanks again.

[@Kwackajack]

No problem glad you enjoyed! Z400 vs ninja 400 - there isn’t really much difference at all, just depends if you prefer naked bikes or sport bikes. I prefer sport bikes!

[@allgasnobrakes919]

Cool bike brO 😎 🏍 💨 💯

[@nathowell7701]

if have problem with break you need to change the brake pad which a cheaper option. It's pretty good bike if ever want track a bike look at KTM rc390 or ninja 650. my history riding from two honda cbr250 2013, two rc3902015/16, bmw S1000rr 2015, Mv agusta f3 800 2015 and honda CBR 1000rr fireblade 2009. so i know little it about bikes. if you need any advice send me message. also good video bro keep riding and be safe

[@nathowell7701]

@Redrum if that case get R1 or GSXR 1000

[@Kwackajack]

Thanks for the kind words and support! Looks like you've had a lot of riding experience, what would be your favourite bike that you've owned?

[@MaxHeinicke]

nice bro im looking to purchase a ninja 400 do you have any advice on if its better to buy new from dealer or second hand and around what price i would be looking at because you say you got for 6 grand but a second hand one on bikesales goes for like 8 grand

[@sambeezy007]

What exhaust is that? I like the sound and quietness of it

[@Kwackajack]

That’s a Leo Vince LV-10 slip-on exhaust. I have two other videos on the channel showing it off and how loud it is!

[@machineunit]

I'm 5'4" with a sport touring wind screen and I get buffeting above 70mph, any idea what I can do to fix it? The sport touring wind screen has helped a good bit but I still get my dome bounced around on the freeway and I don't know what else to do.

[@Kwackajack]

I have the same issue at 6ft. Think this is more due to the overall lightness of the bike and as of yet I haven't found a fix for it. If you find one let me know!

[@machineunit]

@@Kwackajack fair enough, I guess I'll just keep on tuckin lol

[@johns1139]

That's a great deal!

[@Kwackajack]

I thought so too

[@Manutschki]

Do you thing a girl with approx 45kg and 5f5 or 172cm could handle the weight of that bike? Seems pretty light do should work out right?

[@Kwackajack]

I think she'd be fine. That's a good height for the bike, she'd be very comfortable on there

[@gilmacababbad8526]

Hey mate, stock vs aftermarket exhaust with silencer aside from the looks, which is better sounds?

[@Kwackajack]

Definitely the aftermarket! I have a couple videos showing the sound and how loud it is :)

[@marvinhouse2580]

I think the 650 is far more powerful but this looks like a.nice bike

You’re right it is! I just posted a review of the Z650, this bikes bigger brother, check it out! :)

[@benjaminwittich6793]

You think 6’2 would be alright I’ve got pretty bad knees and I can’t keep them super tucked up all the time will I be ok?

[@Kwackajack]

That’s a tough one, I’m 6ft and it can be cramped for me sometimes. Best to go and try sitting on one for yourself to see. Could always try after market pegs though to get a big more room

What kind of training did you have before your first time on this

I did the Pre-Learners course that we have here in Australia. Basically teaches how to get on, start the bike and ride slowly. Riding this on the road was my first time I had ever ridden properly
