Kawasaki is correct. I know plenty of people with multiple years of riding experience who has picked up this bike already, myself included. Such a great little bike, can’t wait till more parts are available for it.
When I was racing in the MRA back in the late eighties. The 400’s were a very popular race class. They made great race bikes back then. The other Japanese manufacturers had fun with them too. I don’t know about 400’s in Japan today but back then that was the biggest cc bike you could buy and ride in Japan. You had to have special credentials to be able to ride anything bigger. I hope that moto America would run an all 400 class in its plans down the road. Great way to get more people into road racing or even some kick ass track days! Nice video Alex. Can’t wait to you ride it!
Hi, 1. Can we have this the only bike as a daily commuter bike in country like India with high traffic 2. How is low end torque ? Possible to ride at 50-60kmph at 6th gear ?
This motorcycle has been neutered for the North American Market due to noise regulations, max power is achieved at only 11,500 rpm, revving it out to 16,000 rpm gets you no increase in performance. The USA and Canada only get about 50 horsepower unless you flash the ecu.
@@AngelGarcia-oc5rs tech wise yeah, but hardware r7, full adjustable kyb fork ( front and rear), larger brake, Brembo master cylinder, 180inch rim, and sportier ridding position

In the US this is seen as a track bike, in Ireland this will be a commuter

Damn Kawasaki is killing it
👏👏👏...Looking forward to the ride video .... Lovin' the vids Alex......Have a good day everybody ✌️
Got mine in black. Love it!
Great bike for riding track days, very similar to tracking a Miata. You gotta work at it to go fast.
Hehe, I like that. The Miata of motorcycles.
its 80ish hp for all bit the US version, they tuned our version down to 50ish hp.
It needs to be flashed to get the 80
my only question is, After it's flashed, will it pass smog for registration renewal ? or do you need to get it reflashed to pass smog?
@@thejoyofskating I have no clue. No smog testing in my state.
@@thejoyofskating California primarily
Is the dimensions of the bike smaller than zx6r? Is it noticeable?
Picking mine up Tuesday, beginner rider here hehe. Already have the Impaktech crash cage ready!
Update?
You guys really need to get your hands on an RC390 and a 450SS.
Rc 390 is a great bike for the price.
390 not even a comparison. Regular 400 is better engine than the 390.
Is this really a 2024 model or 2023?
I would love to buy one but I think they are a bit overpriced.
No one has tormented RUclips video ads more than Jatan Shah and Zomato
Still cant find 1 😢

compared insurance on this vs a ninja 650 2.5 times more to insure

is this bike rideable with a2 license?
Only 50ish hp before flashing the ecu
77 HP in Sweden.
@@_TrueDesire_ ya the us version is very restricted from the factory
60-120 r7 still smash it
Much better machine than r7 .
Better at insane price
@@pogga3051 because it's a better machine???

@@AngelGarcia-oc5rs u could argue that all these things can be upgradeable, but at the end your looking at a price of four cyl 600 supersport
can't resist agricultural areas huh, not even the lush part central valley. Dry, arid just like Colorado, enjoy Sac-a-potato
Sorry, already saw it on yannie niwhew
Are 12 year olds allowed to ride
Yeah man I'm sure they'd let you take it for a spin if your parents signed a waiver.
