I give you a full Kawasaki ninja 400 KRT review. I look at what makes this bike good and not so good. I also share why I got this over the other 3 bikes I was considering purchasing when I compared bikes.
Bruh….. this has got to be THE best bike video I’ve seen in a good while… PERIOD! Well done! I’m currently looking for my first bike and I just sat on a 400 last weekend. BEAUTIFUL bike, but with me being 6’3 and 250lbs, I think I’m going to go with the ZX 6R. Once again…. Well done on the video, keep cranking out quality content and be safe out there!
That's an amazing bike. Good luck out there and stay safe. Thanks for your support here at this channel.
I'm 6'3 and 200lbs and I love my ninja 400 put 15k miles in about a year!
6’2 and I’m mostly legs and arms and the my 22 krt honestly feels really good it’s not too high not too low and I can still get pretty compact
6’3 and you’re going with a zx6r? Yeah nah bro I’m 6’6 and I sat on that bike n it’s almost as bad as the r7. It looks cool tho
ZX-6R as a first bike? ...could you use a GoPro, please? You will have nice a youtube video soon
When riding in windy conditions ; squeeze the tank with your tighs , torso a little foward to ensure arms are slightly bent , relax your arms and just look where you want to go. Small corrections, the bike will just follow the wind on the road. I'm teaching my friend to ride, and he also got a Ninja 400 as first bike. Its probably the best beginner bike I've tested and more. Great video !
I appreciate your comment. It's super helpful and other riders who see this will definitely benefit from this. Thanks for your support!😊
Rode in 30mph wind the other day on my ninja 400 and it's okay if you stay tucked 😅
@@Jake_RF 30 mph wind gusts from the side ? Head and tail wind is way different, just so you know XD 30 mph is not that bad though.
@@a_k_i_r_a5969 I mean it was side wind and almost whipped me off the road when I first got hit by it but then tucked down lol. I mean if 30 isn't bad that's nuts. What kinda wind have you rode in?
@@Jake_RF I´ve rode in gusts up to18 to 20ms (40-45 mph) . It gets windy here sometimes. Any higher than that it gets a little dangerous. I even have friends riding in full storm (probably 50mph) and rain, though its with their adv bikes which are heavier. I dont recommend doing it if new riders though. yeah , tucking down or just making yourself lower helps. But loose arms and looking far ahead really helps against anxiety in high winds or whatever winds. Squeezing the tank with your tighs really helps against stiff arms and deathgrip on the steering. It prevents fatigue on your arms and shoulders, as well as better control of the bike.
I’ve watched a huge chunk of the ninja 400 content on CZcams and this has to be the best video/review I’ve ever come across. The commentary to the jokes to the info I had never been told before about the bike in other reviews, it’s all so perfect. After calling 27 dealerships I now am a proud owner of the 2022 400 krt … picking it up tomorrow lol
Let's go bro!
My man! Im going for the 2023 blizzard white one
How it going with the bike?
@@angelsalazar3893 in storage sleeping for the winter, probs gonna upgrade to a zx6r this spring tho 👍 400 is in no way a bad bike but I would prefer to have something with a bit more pick up
Nearly 8k miles in my first year and it's such a fantastic ride, absolutely love it. Going into another year of riding it.
Bro you putting some miles in. That's what's up
I can instantly tell the level of effort that went into this video. Really good job!
Thank you thank you so much for recognizing the hard work
Very high quality video. I respect the work/info/opinions/character put into this. This is what everyone wants when shopping for a bike
Thank you Garrett. That's means a lot and I'm very happy this was good for you
Phenomenal video dude.
And thank you for the night time shots. 99% of reviews out there are all just shot at noon, while lets be real, most of our riding is gonna be after work. It gotta look good in the dark too.
Also, in some ways, at 10min in, it almost doesnt matter what you say anymore. In a good way. Because we just get the feeling "DAMN, this dude LOVES his bike", and that says more than a million words.
wow man, i watched about a ton of ninja 400 reviews but this video is by far the best one . I should’ve watched this first. you went through everything so good and clear even price point with the dealer markup which is something important for me as a new rider who’s in a budget. thank you bro please make more videos with the 400 like mods and performance mods 🙏🏽
Awesome video. I have this bike and am still a beginner. This is my second bike as I had originally started on a ninja 250. I can honestly agree with everything in this video. Only thing I would add is as a beginner the way the wind pushes you is super scary. The bike is so light that it really takes a bit of faith and practice to getting used to wind
Bro this is true. I was super scared with that wind. But all is well now
Man this is the best review ive ever seen on this bike.. from the way you describe everything, the voice and the facts.. you hit this one on the nail bro.. i thank you for your time 🏍️💨🤙🏾
Smaller bikes are the under dogs extremely fun and quick for beginners and experienced riders.
Awesome review! I will second that this is a great bike. I’ve had mine for 2 1/2 years and 10k miles now. I have a 2019 in Storm Grey/Kawi Green. You are correct about it’s versatility. I bought one KNOWING, I’m going to the track. I didn’t anticipate that I’d love touring with a bike. I haven’t camped since I was in Boy Scouts as a kid. I camp once again, thanks to the Ninja. I learned to ride on it, I’ve done a 1000 mile road trip on it, (not recommended, but it can be done!) it’s been to the track, I’ve commuted with it, I’ve taken it moto camping. I now have bigger bikes, but I’ve kept the 400 and don’t plan on selling it.
Great content and keep up the good work!
This video was a lot better than i thought it was going to be. You did a great job!👍👍
I loved your review in addition to the professional shots
I watched tonnes of videos on this bike, but this is the one that’s gonna make me buy it! 10/10 review bro
This review was great man. You put a lot of work in the edits of the video and your delivery of the information about the bike was crystal clear. Thanks bro
Super glad you like it. Thanks for recognizing the hard work
Just today picked up a 23 ninja 400, out of town currently for work. Dealer delivered it. Can't wait to get home and ride it.
Great vid man
Just got a 2023 krt 400 and this bike is so well balanced all around. Everything said here is truth and kawasaki is awesome for hooking up such a fast cheap bike!! Great video 👍
Bro. I am a beginner rider, got this same bike about two months ago. I love this bike, and I am only 5'3, so the height is perfect for me. Changed out the exhaust (like everyone else) and will be getting the fender deleter this next month. I love the attention I am getting from riding it. Other drivers are yelling out their window to have me crank it to hear it, other riders are complimenting it, even harley riders. I will probably be moving up to the zx6r once i pay this one off, but for now, this bike is perfect for me.
I think you and I are on the same page
Professional video! I’m from MS and really enjoyed the info! Planning to buy one today as an experienced rider for commuting and fun… thanks man.
Bro, I honestly hope you got paid for this review. Because this is by far the best review of a product I have ever seen. You provided allllll the information I needed and some I didn’t even know I needed. Thank you.
Hey bro this is the best most comprehensive review of the Ninja 400. I enjoyed everything, especially ya background music. Great info and great vibe. Keep up the great work bro. ✊🏾
🙏👍 thank you thank you. That's means so much
I totally agree with you on this bike. THIS IS my first bike. Just about to hit a year, having put 17,000 miles on it, and I LOVE it still.
I love your video man. Didn't even mind the long video because of how great your delivery was. Awesome job man. Loved the review! 👍🏾👌🏾👏🏾
Thanks Bro Bro. I appreciate it
I just came across this video and I have to say thank you for this! Cause you must’ve put a lot of effort in this video and it is extremely well written and beautiful. You have a real talent for this !
Thank you🥹
Extremely well articulated, right to the point and fantastic energy. Keep it up brother.
Hey, amazing editing and sound man, you just explained this bike better than moto vloggers with 2+ million subs. Don't stop making videos!
Hey Eugene those words mean so much. Thanks for your encouragement
I’ve wanted the Ninja for a long time now and was hoping it’d be my first bike, and you just solidified that decision. Thank you!
1 of the best ninja 400 reviews on CZcams and believe me I saw them all hahaha expecting to get mine in the next month's :)
Hey thank you for that. Congratulations on your new bike that you'll get in the next few months. I know that it's gonna be amazing when you finally get it.
Man.... I can feel the passion coming through this video.
Thanks!
Amazing video, my Dude! I’ve been looking for a starter bike. And this is one of the best and most thorough videos I’ve seen after watching a lot of them! You really sold me on the Ninja 400 over an R3 because of that bump in power. Hoping to stay content for at least two years before upgrading. Great work, cheers to you and your family!!
This is hands down the best review I’ve seen. Can’t wait to get my first bike in the next few months. Really wish the ‘22 Ninja 400 came in that true blacked out look but that KRT edition is clean!
I had that same wish. Bro super stoked you’re gonna get your bike
Video was very well done, bro - thorough! I'm looking for my first bike and this was helpful. Best review I've seen. Thank you.
Thanks my man
I've never seen any automotive video made this well and this creative. Props to you brother. Plan on buying a Ninja 400 as my first bike when i return home from deployment. Thank you for making a quality, detailed review!
Go for it! Thanks for your support
You helped me decide what bike i want to start on thank you for the great video😎
Glad I could help!
Buddy…..this is the BEST review video I have ever seen. I am the rider whose been riding for 55 years and own a cruiser/touring bike and want a good run around bike to kick it and have fun! Thank you
Great review. Love how passionate you are about this bike. I’m buying a 2020 next week as my very first and brand new rider. This video helped me a lot. Thank you!!!
Welcome aboard! Good luck on your journey and safe riding
Just bought my first bike yesterday! I got a used 2021 ninja 400 and I love it so far.
Amazing video
I just had a son and im moving from my honda 954 and have decided on the 400
its been a worry to me that i would lose alot of the fun i have in the name of being safe but you
got me thinking ill be able to do that both with the ninja 400 thank you for all the info
Really well put together video. Good work!
Much appreciated!
I ride a 2010 Harley Davidson heritage classic as my main ride. I bought a 2019 ninja 400 abs for my wife for Christmas. It sat for 6 months because she hasn’t got the nerves up enough to try and learn to ride it. So I got tired of seeing it sit there and decided to get it titled and I started riding it. I’ve rode a lot of bikes in my life but I will have to say the more I ride it the more I fall in love with it. This has to be the funnest motorcycle I have ever ridden. Very predictable and so light and I’m still floored that such a small size engine can crank out so much speed and power. If you’ve never rode one you need to go to the dealer and give it a test ride. It won’t disappoint! Great video… good job!
Damn! GREAT video.. keep up the good work!
Great review! For the past couple of weeks, I have been looking for the best means of commuting to school. I'm a super beginner (never ridden a motorcycle) and have watched many videos on which motorcycle to buy. I like how in-depth you are about the specifics of this motorcycle so that anyone would be able to follow and understand.
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck!
This bike is amazing, I’m going for my learners license in a couple of months I am really wanting to get this same bike. Bro your channel is amazing you deserve more subscribers keep up the awesome videos.
Thank thank you for your encouragement. Good luck with your permit ans after you pass feel free to reach out and let us know
Curry 30 JUNE 2 GAME 1 🥺👍🏆🏀
Dope video man! I’m in the research phase and looking to purchase my first bike soon. Coming from someone that is 100% new to this world, this video what I needed. You got a new subscriber here.
Absolutely the BEST Ninja 400 video on CZcams! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! I should get into more of these
Great video 👏👏👏 keep the great work 👍
Great review bro! Really enjoyed watching it!!
I got mine April last year and have done 11.5k miles on it and love it more every day. Got the comfort seat for the long rides which makes it so much more comfortable. I use it every day and longest ride in a day was some 560mi with backpack - not the easiest ride but possible. Enjoy your ninja :)
Nice 👍
Just bought one TODAY. Same color 2023. 71 yrs old and have been riding off and on since I was 14yrs old. This was a realy great review!
Came back to add that I had a 250 ninja and a 750/4 (zr7 as I remember) both great bikes.
Jim
Right on!
Best ninja 400 review I have ever seen great job
Love the video bro. I was stuck between a sportster and the 400. Not only am I short but a new rider as well. I have sat on it 3 times and just love the way it feels. Keep those videos rolling bro. Thanks for helpful tips
Thanks Nick! Best of luck on your next bike bro
Just came off the road an hr ago from riding my KRT400 Ninja , the bike is a blast !! Listening to you tell us of your immense love for the 400 Ninja was awesome. The roads you have there in SoCal , I’m jealous. Be cool !!
Have fun! I'm happy to know you are getting the same joy out of your bike👊🏾
Thanks for the thorough review💯
Checking out your channel after seeing the How to Ride and the Why I Ride videos, and I gotta say a HUGE thanks to you for making these videos. I'm only a couple minutes into this one and already smiling. The Why I Ride video gave me another perspective on why I should ride too, and I can't wait to take my CMSP in a couple months!! I'm in SoCal too, maybe I'll see you on the streets in the future. But thanks again for the vids and keep it up.. ride safe!
Thanks Benjamin. 😊 Good luck on your journey my man. Hopefully we can cross paths soon.
Beautiful video all around. Love your personality and how real you are with the review.
Thanks my guy.
The way you explained them just hit different brah! 🔥
Bro, thanks
Actually the best review i have seen for the N400
Thank you thank you
CANADA - I have to agree with Phenominalblak. This presentation of yours is one heck of a thorough, clear, straight-forward and honest presentations I've viewed and listened to . Congrats on the fine video work, super editing and planning. I know it takes time and thought and work to complete. The commercial people can learn from you. I can't say enough positive. I just came back from viewing this bike, a 650 Ninja, a BMW F800s (used). Your observations and comments went with me, such that, indeed I will likely buy the 400. I move to a different location in a couple of weeks, so I'm busy. Once settled, though, you may have altered the balance of choice. Thank you so much for the excellence of presentation. See you on the road.
I'm so happy you enjoyed the review. And yes it took a lot and I mean a LOT of time and thought. So thanks for acknowledging that
just bought one yesterday. 7200 out the door. beautiful bike. just right
Best video I seen so far describing this bike very detailed.
Wow, thanks!
Had mine for a year now ( I’m in the UK ) so don’t get to ride much. But every time I take the cover off I’m stunned by how beautiful it is. And then rip it up the road and WOW ! 🥰🥰🥰
Hey Badger! Greetings from the US and yes it is sooooo beautiful
Very enjoyable and informative review
This is my next bike
My first and only bike I bought back in 2018. We have a lot of mountain backroads where I live and it is such a fun bike to throw around the curves!
Yes it is. It feels wonderful hitting those corners!
Great review and terrific video production. I love my 2019 Ninja so much. I'm 6'2 with a 32 inch inseam and this bike is just unbelievably comfortable, and at 285 lbs I can flick it around like it's nothing. I got it lightly used (1,500 miles) and the previous owner had already installed an Akropovic exhaust, side sliders, a phone charger, and CRG adjustable levers. $5,400 out the door. I'm glad to see the Ninja getting the love that it so richly deserves. That Coffman slip on sounds killer by the way!
Thanks bro, ride safe
Bro! I bough mine two months ago (2022, abs, KRT), and I love it brother. Great decision!
I can see my self keeping this bike even if I get a bigger one in the future. It’s all in one packet.
Yes it is!
Great review. Now i need this bike.
I’ve got a 2018 ninja 400. I’m in Australia and I bought the limited edition orange/red paint job. I agree with everything you’ve said except for one point. I find the rear suspension is really good especially for a non adjustable setup. As a matter of fact if you sit on the bike and bounce the suspension the whole bike moves extremely evenly front and back.
I also have a Yamaha MT09 and just bought a brand new 2022 Ducati V2 streetfighter. 3 totally different characteristic bikes, but I won’t be getting rid of the ninja because it has a lot of fun factor in the twisties and is a beautiful natured bike to commute. It’s also got enough power to have fun with. I agree with you that it’s a big enough bike to not be cramped on and the handling is razor sharp due to the light weight. That clutch omg is feather light too.
Personally it’s a great little bike and I also agree with you about the build quality and finish. The relaxed riding position makes it really really comfortable. The only mods I’ve made are a 2 brothers exhaust and a tail tidy. Other than that it’s stock and really doesn’t need anything more to be a terrific machine.
Your video is absolutely spot on without exaggeration. People should listen closely to your opinions in the video. Great job.
U should consider getting a radiator guard. They're 30 bucks on Amazon and will protect you from rocks and debris from destroying your radiator
My Ninja 400 (US) has 5 position preload adjustable rear shock, not sure if your model is the same...
Great video!! Just got mine yesterday and I’m loving the feel of the bike. I went with the twilight blue!😆 I’m in my mid 40s so I felt the color scheme was beautiful, elegant and mature (as you said subdued). Thank you for the great video and certainly helped me to know what I was getting myself into as a new rider.
That’s so nice to hear. I’m really happy for you! Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾🎈 on your purchase and getting into the best therapy ever
the love of the 400 love to see it, i'm enjoying tf outta mine too man great vid !
Thank you for that. And thanks for s
Your support
Purchased mine yesterday at the dealership, picking it up and riding it home Tuesday... Beyond excited.
Good choice!
I liked the review- u actually covered the 3 bikes I was recommened to get as my 1st one !😂
Bro you hit everything I love about this bike too. Crazy, but yeah I think the mirrors are great as well. Noticed how easy it is to tuck your elbow to see behind you. Love the handling and think it has the perfect amount of power. Twisties feel incredible too, it just melts into the curves
I couldn't have said it better. Just melts into the curves. So true
I’ve owned Ninja 400 and Z400 the past 3 years. Easily the best decision I made for myself. They are staying in my arsenal forever and going to be track bikes. Great video my man 🤙🏽 high quality 10/10
Thanks for your support.
@@socalriderb of course, subbed💯
Great video thanks for the insight! Ima get mine soon!
Great video, thanks for showing your awesome bike!
Glad you liked it!
I enjoyed your open-minded review on this bike.
I have a 2021 ninja 400, i got it in mid june , in 10 weeks ive put 1300 miles on it, and i absolutely love it. I moved to this ninja from a honda shadow cruiser, and its night and day. Im so glad i snagged the 400 instead of the 650, its 15% lighter and that makes so much difference for city riding.
This is a really well put together video, thanks man! I am looking for my first ‘bigger bike’ after hopefully passing my test next week. I was initially thinking a 650 (I’ve been riding a 125 for 18 months), but I can’t help but love the look of the 400. Also, it’s only just come back to the UK, as the 2023 model (21 and 22 we didn’t get due to Euro5 regs). Soo tempting.
Oooo are you gonna give in to temptation and get it?
@@socalriderb It’s on the very short list. I was initially thinking Honda CB650R (the Naked Cafe), but there’s something very exciting about the Ninja 400. I do worry a little bit about long rides hurting my 44 year old back ( 😂 ), but I think it will be probably be fine. I guess the other question is that I’ll want more power so growing out of it. Will have to see. In the UK, the full test is done on a 600, so I guess I will get a taste of that power pretty soon!
Awesome 👍😎 well this is a good spot to be in. You're having to make a decision about getting a bike. Such an exciting time
This is such a mega video. I'm very much team KTM from the lineup but this video is awesome and what a brilliant bike. Subscribed and can't wait to check out your other videos 👍
Thanks 🙏 I appreciate your sub and support
Excellent video. Thank you for such great content. Love the bike.
It's my pleasure. I'm Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for you support and encouragement!!
another great video brother.... I luv my kawasakiz650 will b riding this weekend.... ride safe
Great great great video! Agree with all the positive comments. I have a 2019 Ninja 400. Two observations, first the headlight knob not being backlit is a bit nerve-wracking. Also, the headlights aren't ideal for dark twisty roads, not sure if it's an adjustment issue or design. Like many others, I love this bike and will probably keep it even after I upgrade to the next bike (Ninja 1000sx or Versys). Please keep making videos, you have a gift!
This is one of the best reviews I have seen period. Bro you should do reviews on everything you own I would fully watch it 😂
I just might. Thanks for your support ❤️
Awesome, video, not just because I like the bike content, but your editing and dialog is great as well. Thumbs up and subscribed 👍
Thanks for the sub bud
Love the energy man !!! good video
Thanks 🙏🏾 Joao. I appreciate it and I'm glad for your support
Excellent video man!
Appreciate it!
I’m glad I’ve found this. Imma go with R3 but this review put me back where I should be.. The Ninja Kawasaki
Edward my man. Congratulations on getting your new bike bro 👊🏾
the music selection in the beginning *chefs kiss* great video overall! im about to pick one up too and im also in socal!
Thank you thank you. I can tell you have an artistic appreciation for the finer things in life. I'm so stoked you paid attention to the finer details of this video. It means so much to have others appreciate such detail.
This videos so epic bro, keep it up!
Excellent breakdown.
Dude.. thanks for this video! Im just getting into bikes after 52 years on the water. Im learning basic riding stuff right now on a beat up old Honda 125 dirt bike. Just riding around the neighborhood and the woods. Thanks to you, my first real bike will be a Ninja 400. My forever bike will be a Suzuki GSXR600. I still love my Wellcraft Nova, and will be buried with it. But bikes are definitely easier for everyday fun, and they dont blow up if you forget the blower switch. lol (but true!)
Amazing review, keep doing it 10/10
Thanks a ton!
yo my man i too have the 400ninja abs krt bad ass bike. listening to you enjoying your new toy was awesome to hear. stay safe !!!
Thanks Marie. Doing my best to stay safe out here
Hey I really enjoyed your video. Its honest, genuine and I didnt get bored watching it. I am a tad bit biased because I do have a 2023 Ninja 400 KRT but you are ABSOLUTELY right; Im confident that I bought the best bike in its class and Im excited to grow and have so much fun with this awesome machine! Ride safe! 😎
Thanks for that! Enjoy
Got a 2021 red one, absolutely love it… bought a 2020 1000sx as well recently. Respect for Kawasaki / Ninja platform!
Couldn't agree more!
Hey bro so this is my third bike and my first after selling my 300. I just did a 2k road trip from Florida to Indy and back.
I love my ‘21 and your right on a lot of points.
The power is great at this size of bike.
The looks are killer.
And the clutch is amazing and don’t get me started on the eco mod, which was amazing on my trip.
But the two things I had changed was the seat and the rear sets.
I’ll keep you updated on the seat (it’s a Corbin) .
Also changing rear sets to woodcraft. And I love my new rear sets
I will definitely be keeping this bike. And when I do upgrade to my next in a couple of years I will be retiring my 400 as my daily to it becoming my track bike.
Thanks for sharing that. And I would love to update with how your seat is working out for you. Thank you for sharing some time here at this channel and I hope it's been good for you 🙂😊
Nice video bro! Im a middle aged vetren rider and own currently among many a 2020 ninja 400 krt and it is wanna my all time faves!. I have 2500 ish moles now and loving the bike more and more. Younger riders dont understand why i this bike is soo great when i can afford any bike i want. Its just an all around good package. Cheap insurance, cheap gas, Looks great!
I couldn't have said it better. Cheap gas and insurance is definitely a plus
Glad I found your channel. I'm on a Ninja journey myself, with plans on a near future MSF course and Ninja 400/650 KRT. Already bought my riding gear minus the helmet lol. Subbed!
Welcome aboard! It's a pleasure to have you here!
I also look forward to get this bike as my first. I would be totally happy to have exact this color scheme, with the white bottom. And that aftermarket exhaust is TOP!
Ride safe and get many, many safe miles.
Fingers crossed!
Beautiful video. A loveletter to the ninja400 💚👍
