Ninja 400 One-Year Review - Would I Buy Again?

We've had a Kawasaki Ninja 400 for well over a year now and it's time for an update. Normally as we have bikes long term as owners we pick up the little issues and problems after thousands of kilometres in the saddle, but the Ninja 400 has been super reliable and there's not really been any new long term gripes appearing. For a commuter and sportsbike the Ninja offers an exceptional combination of good power and torque, flexible suspension, really strong brakes, ideal ergonomics and of course a very light overall weight and easy handling for new riders. As a one-size-fits-all machine the Ninja 400 is still a great performer a year later and I often choose to ride the Ninja instead of my Daytona 675R, it's better in traffic and for commuting and there's plenty of thrills to be had. An Arrow Race-Tech slip-on exhaust has livened the bike up with a bit more exhaust note and a much more stylish profile, while little mods like luggage - from Ventura - and a Kawasaki tank bag and seat cowl, alongside Oggy Knobbs crash protection and SD-R adjustable levers all bling the bike up. If you're wondering whether I'd buy a Ninja 400 again as an owner, after over a year, the answer is definitely yes, it's an exceptional machine and it's hard to ask for any more from Kawasaki without delving into the realms of unfair expections. These will also be coming onto the second hand market now having been around for a while, which means if you're keen and can't afford new, a Kawasaki Ninja 400 may be a great used first bike, and I'd definitely recommend nabbing one instead of a Ninja 300 if you can manage it. The Ninja 400 is certainly one of the best beginner motorcycles available so check one out! Don't forget to subscribe: https://motojournokris.com/youtube
