Pros and Cons Buying a Ninja 400 in 2024 - Still the Best for Beginners?

[@marcotapiador6646]

You almost lost your eye to that bird hahahaha

Occupational hazard 😅 I'm developing a phobia

[@Motoxjessie]

Scored my 2020 Ninja 400 for $5k and I couldn’t be more happy, such a fun bike to learn on! Great info thank you, keep it up 🤗

[@Frankiey88]

Great video, still my dream bike ❤🤩

[@Kwackajack]

Glad to hear it! Hope you get to ride one soon!

I've got my Ninja 400 2022 model last December 2021 and until now I love using it. Very reliable and easy to use as a commuter bike. Two thumbs up for N400.

[@andyt3121]

I've just bought a 2024 black 400 it wasn't even registered the last of them I've only been out on it about 3 times since getting a month ago but that's due to bad weather here in the UK, I love the bike can't wait for the summer

[@shibapatrol801]

The great thing about the Ninja400 is the aftermarket support! I've had my N400 for 4 years now and this year I finally went ahead and did a complete overhaul to the bike and turned it into a twisties machine! Front and rear suspension upgrades, +2 on the rear sprocket, stickier tires, geometry changes (lowered triple clamp/raised rear), steel braided lines, weight reduction etc and it rides like a completely different bike. I think the N400 gets labeled as 'Beginner' bike a lot and looked down on a lot which is a shame. They make great track bikes too.

[@Kwackajack]

You’re right, great point! Glad to hear you’re loving yours :)

Got a 22 N400 for 4600 new, put 10k miles on it in a few months. 11/10 best experience ever! I would buy the same bike and do it all over again.

[@topsychoforyou1203]

I love my Ninja 400 so much, it's my first bike and it's so hard to get bored of! Yes I crave more speed but over all, it's amazing on corners and it's all you need for track riding too! I'll never sell my Ninja 400.

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Great info on the Ninja 400 👍. Yep that’s Queensland for ya, there are plenty of critter’s that either disturb the peace and quiet or worse, trying to kill ya 😂.

[@hrtgaming4077]

I reckon the speed triple 660 just absolutely smashes this as a LAMS bike with also the opportunity to derestrict

[@JC-vc7tf]

You forgot the up and down quick shifter on the RC390, its so good :)

[@om4529]

i was struggling between deciding for getting a r3 or a ninja 400 after completing my msf course in 2 months. Eventually decided to go with the r3 however i still do love love LOVE the ninja 400. What are your thoughts on the r3? Do you think it looks good in person?

[@endriolima5685]

Dude, I had a ninja 400 and now I own an mt-03 (it's the "naked" r3) boy oh boy do I regret selling my Ninja 400 for this... This 321cc engine of the r3 is THIRSTY, way more compared to the Ninja 400. And also I had some issues with my mt-03, mainly the abs not working properly and sometimes she stalls when I first start it during the morning. I would go back to the ninja 400 if I could. Btw, got both brand new. No issues AT ALL with the Kawasaki

[@memeclips13]

for my first bike i am going for cfmoto 450srs for the tech and they look amazing

[@Alic_R1]

I had my 300 when the 400 was already around, and think you should get the 300, or the 400, now the 500 is around. Those extra 5 ponies or w/e it is really do not make a difference imo

[@Kwackajack]

You're spot on. Good to see you back around mate!

[@Jonte_W]

Kawasaki is Kawasaki😎

[@RollonRides]

Had a demo 2018 Ninja 400 until last year as a fun small bike, your right great bike but dated. Then I got a ZX4RR their is no comparison superior in every way!

If you put large piles of ''Bird Food'' out the birds will leave you alone, being occupied with food. Also, if you find a location to make your video that has a magnificent view of a famous location you will not have ''bird problems'' and your audience will be entertained by the amazing viewpoint.

[@zelcpavle5494]

I dont know what to buy..have a Full A licence and dont know what to buy...a ninja 500? Or a Ninja 650 or a Vulcan S....?

[@marcotapiador6646]

the 650 & the Vulcan pretty much have the same engine. I wouldn't recommend the 500 as it feels like a de-tuned ninja 400.

[@zelcpavle5494]

@@marcotapiador6646 realy? Ok didnt know about the 500 thank you...

[@Kwackajack]

Do you prefer the look of a sportbike or a cruiser? I'll usually recommend a Used Ninja 400 for most people as it's the best all-rounder and you can't go wrong I have reviewed the Vulcan and was not a fan, in fact i'm holding off posting the review because of it.

[@zelcpavle5494]

@@Kwackajack realy the Vulcan was not great...ok thank you for answering...will go for a used 400 if i can find one...in my part of Europe the used bike market is not so big 😄

[@Kwackajack]

You'll love it!

[@vinc2wheels]

How does your beginner's driver's license work? I understood that it may not have more than 150kW/tonne and 660cc?. this means that the ninja 400 is not the strongest motorcycle but an Aprilia RS660 for example

[@djapoz5280]

So would you say the same for the Z400?

[@Matt-man69]

i have 20k km now on my 22 ninja. I think i want an adventure bike but i am reluctant to sell my ninja!

[@stevewilson8752]

G'day from Bundaberg 😃 Would you have an option on the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 V's the Kawasaki Eliminator 450 ??? Ive checked out all their specks & watched 4 different reviews on each bike & everyone gives both bike solid wraps 🙈 the Enfield has more dash technology but the Kawasaki Eliminator is better in other area's & a lighter bike 🙈 i haven't test rode either bike as yet ! Have you any feedback or opinion ??? Would be much appreciated hey ! Steve from Bundaberg Qld 🕺🍹👍

[@Kwackajack]

Yea that's an interesting one, the Kawi will have more power, bigger tank and is lighter as you say.. But the RE looks to be the 'edgier' of the two and seems like it may have a a greater lean angle from where the pegs sit and is a fair bit cheaper. A trip to hop on both will be your best bet. I'm partial to the Kawi in the SE orange and the RE in the white & blue.

[@stevewilson8752]

@Kwackajack Thanks mate 😃 Yes the orange SE looks very nice 👍🕺🍹

[@Juergen732]

I just bought a new Eliminator to add to my 2023 z400. I don't know much about the Royal Enfield but if it's air cooled I would go with the water cooled Eliminator on that basis alone.

[@stevewilson8752]

@Juergen732 Yes mate i to prefer a Liquid Cooled bike over Air Cooled any day , i just feel more peace of mind when bumper to bumper in the city stuck in traffic 👍☺️

[@Juergen732]

@@stevewilson8752 right? Plus water cooled engines last longer..I remember back in the day, I was always wrenchin' on my air cooled VW bug.

[@kaizen1723]

Cant believe you still dont have a tail tidy! 😂

[@Kwackajack]

Never really felt the need to get one 🤷🏻‍♂️
