The 0-60kmph time of 2.45s and a 0-100kmph sprint in 5.4s tells the tale of just how quickly the bike accelerates, faster than any other bike in the segment. From then on there's a relentless surge to the horizon that quite frankly, is addictive. That said, this is a Ninja so the actual fun begins only past 7,000rpm. The new 399cc, liquid-cooled, the parallel-twin motor makes 103cc more than the Ninja 300's engine. You can also peacefully cruise at 120kmph in sixth gear with the revs hovering around the 7,000rpm and that underlines the 400's ability as a touring machine. The Ninja 400, in fact, pulls cleanly from 40kmph in sixth gear so it doesn't really mind if the rider wants to just chill and ride. What this translates to is great tractability, allowing you to pootle around town in high gears. Power delivery is crisp and linear and what helps is generous amounts of torque in the low and mid-range, unlike the Ninja 300's engine that is always hungry for revs. Once you get going, the bike surges ahead as you roll on the throttle. Thumb the starter and the engine feels very refined at idle with barely any vibes creeping in through the bars or the pegs. The motor produces 49PS at 10,000rpm and 38Nm at 8,000rpm respectively. The compression ratio too has been raised to 11.5:1 and as A a result, there's a bump in power and torque. The new 399cc, liquid-cooled, the parallel-twin motor makes 103cc more than the Ninja 300's engine, on which it is based.

The only gripe is the lack of adjustable levers, considering the price, which I'll get to later.

Track or tour, the Ninja 400 has ergos that fit both. Also, the low, 785mm seat height makes this Ninja accessible to a wide range of riders. Though the footpegs are rearset, the clip on's are high which is far from the uncompromising, foetal position that one might expect. The Ninja 400 is as well built as its stablemates, north of its price point.įor a bike that looks like a focused track bike, the ergonomics are actually pretty relaxed and comfortable. The quality of the paint, switchgear and panels feels top notch and there are no complaints when it comes to fit and finish. Honestly, despite this being an age of all-digital displays, there's a certain feel-good factor about watching a tacho needle swoop to the redline, which in this case begins at 12,000rpm. The instrument panel has a negative LCD display that looks premium and I like how the analogue tachometer seems to take pride of place. The overall design is attractive and this special Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) colour scheme ensures everyone notices the bike.

The tail section is sleek and minimal while the triangular tail lamp seems to have been lifted straight off the ZX-10R. The side panels have their own set of creases, albeit hidden to some extent by the black paintwork, but the bold decals along with the bright green and yellow stickers to liven up things. The sharp fairing, with the H2, inspired fangs and the twin LED headlamps lends the right amount aggression to the face. There's a nice mix of design languages that have trickled down from the Kawasaki Ninja H2 and the ZX-10R flagship superbikes.
