The ninja 400 has good power. You just have to ride it in “sport mode” ie cruise in a gear that keeps you around 7k rpm. “Comfort mode” is the reverse, you’re going to try to stay below 4K rpms. That’ll reduce the throttle response a TON which makes for easy riding with less engine braking
I don't think ninja 400 has riding modes. Are you sure about it?
@@BadzeeYT did you bother to read what he said?...reading comprehension...
@@timsgta my bad. I comprended wrong
@@BadzeeYT lol np
Good tips
I think everyone wants a bigger bike, but the 400 is GREAT for people who are not looking to get into too much trouble too quickly. Im 6 foot and 220 pounds, but im going with that ninja 400 for the first couple of years before upgrading. I definitely can see a 600 or 1000 several years down the line, but it just seems like a lot of power and weight to handle for someone who is brand new.
Now I know what to do if I ever need cheering up: just listen to you two! You guys are a riot!
Thanks for watching!!!! Helps us out a lot!!!!!
The ninja 400's are amazing bikes. Just got a pre owned 2018 candy plasma blue one with only 1,300 miles on it. Got the leovince exhaust on it as well as the sliders. Great bike, as a beginner i dont ever feel i will switch to a bigger bike. Thats how amazing they are!! more power than i will ever need. Plus that leovince exhaust is so deep. Gotten alot of compliments on this bike riding around.
1,300 miles pretty much brand new congrats on the find!!!! Ya man the LEO sounds amazing on the 400. RIDE SAFE brother thanks for watching helps me out a shit ton!
As a beginner you feel like you will never switch to a bigger bike. Key word is beginner. One day when you are an experienced rider you will want a bigger bike. Back in the day I started on a Ninja 250 and I thought it was plenty fast until I became experienced and bought a Honda CBR600. After riding the 600 I would never go down in power. I went on to own many bikes, nothing smaller than the 600.
@@fastdude2002 Thats why I started on the 600 :)
What’s the top speed on it though idk if i wanna buy a bike that I’ll have to upgrade from in a year
The conversations they have while riding is hilarious
😂
I bought a 2022 ninja 400 in January. Yesterday was the first day I was able to get on it. Canadian winters are never-ending .
Ya must be really cold
I love these videos! Just bought a 2023 ninja 400 and my bf has a GSRX 600 so it’s hilarious. I’m just starting out again after a long break so your videos are great, thank you guys!!
Yessss thats awesome
Yo King, the clutch squeak sound effect at 3:27 is PERFECT!
TY Mr. BC
The 400cc roadbike is a completely unique class of bike for most of the reasons the girl mentioned in this video,I used to own a Yamaha RD400 back in the '80's and it looks like the Ninja400 is the modern day RD400 but quicker stock and more top end as well and obviously equipped with all the great modern features such as ABS, and I really like the styling of the Ninja series as well. Like the RD you'll be using all your gears going from 0 to 100 MPH/160KMPH
Thanks for all the tips you're very informative.. it's always best to get tips for beginners from a beginner
My thoughts exactly!!!!! Thanks brother!
I’m 5’5 and thought I was too short for a sports bike, but this definitely makes me want this.
Yesssss! She is 5'3 and as you can see almost flat foot it. Thanks for watching helps out a lot!
@@SunGymLive Inseam?
@@MrTotesmcgoats For her its 29
@@SunGymLive Thanks!
Love the chemistry in the video definitely earned a sub ❤️
Aww thank you for the support!!! - Queen
Agreed. It was fun and informative.
I started on Ninja 650, 2018, perfect bike for me. I'm 5'5", am mature rider started in my 50's,
Ninja 650 excellent bike!!! Thanks for watching brother!
Started in your 50's. Nice!
I'm 5'-10" and after a year of riding my 400 I found it to be uncomfortable as hell. I couldn't go more than 45 before want to ditch it and walk. I've now replaced the stock seat with the ergo seat that has drastically improved my comfort level over all.
Absolutely you have the flexibility with your height to change out the stock seat cushion for a better one. She could maybe get away with it but I think she would rather be able to almost flat foot it than to have to tip toe when stopped.
So I’m 6 3 Would it be bad to get this bike
where can I find another type of seat and is it easy to change yourself?
@@sebbyhumphreys4060 So, I'm 6 4 ... did you get one?
Love the Lake Murray Damn run. I ride it frequently on my Ninja 400
I have had my ninja 400 for a year now from new,i think its a fantastic bike great to ride,to be honest i can't fault it at all,its very quick easy to handle.very impressive
Totally agree
I've ridden for years, have ridden bigger bikes. I love curvy twisty roads, so I purchased a red 2021 Ninja 400. The bike is a ton of fun in the curves, it will rip because it is so light, and it handles very well. It looks great, I did do some upgrades, Krace CNC Billet adjustable levers, Akrapovic slip on, rear fender delete, Kuryakyn grips, LED underglow kit, BMC high flow air filter. Looking to upgrade the rear sprocket to a 43 tooth, but for now I'm good. I have had my bike to 130, which is actually 125 according to the GPS. So, replacing the levers took the "slack" out of the clutch. Now, instead of the clutch coming half way out before starting to engage, it starts as soon as you let out on it. Down side to the brake lever, it does the same thing, so it engages the light switch very quickly. If you cover your clutch and brake levers when coming to a stop, more than likely your brake lights will illuminate, even if you aren't applying pressure enough to engage the brakes. But, I got used to it, now I just put two fingers over the brake lever. One thing bad about the bike, actually has nothing to do with Kawasaki, and it's the tires. Those Dunlop tires suck for treadwear, everyone complains about them. But, I am getting different ones
DAMN my boy did some upgrades on his bike I'm sure the Akrapovic slip on sounds amazing on it. Glad your liking the bike and I would have to agree with you on the tires.
I'm excited because I'm getting myself this bike for my birthday and this video made me tell the dealership I don't need to see anymore options... I'm a noob and this will be my first think you subbed keep up with the videos not sure how it works with aftermarket parts but maybe do a video on that?
HELL YA! we got videos on the mods we have on it and a how to ride video for the ninja 400. If you need me to link you I will!
cool review format King, I like the two perspectives !
:) Something different
notification gang checking in!!!!! I dont think I would've considered a ninja if it wasn't for you, I've always been more of a cafe racer style, but you got me on the team now, they're fire!!
Team NINJA BOO BOO
The way she freaked when you let off both hands was funny ash
LOL she will be doing it soon don't worry!
Ugh I miss my bike so much!! I think I might get a 400 honestly. It tops out just right. I went for a test on the 600 and the 400 and cost and seating position. Plus I'm short like queen lol 5.7 so hopefully I'll get a 400 soon!! Also u know what would be frickin amazing!! If in the future when u get a bunch of subs that have bikes. We can do a like meet up on bikes and just ride the city!! All of sparta!!! Omg thatd be so much fun!!! Much love king and queen!!
BROTHER that would be amazing!
The one thing that amazes me the most about this video was that I noticed you were driving in my neighborhood (N lake drive).
Yo that's awesome!!!!
Great video thanks a lot for this, my wife and i really enjoyed it. She is getting her first bike and wants to make it a ninja 400 in blue as well!! We were wondering what communication device do you guys use? It sounds super clear and we want to be able to talk to each other while riding like that. Thanks again for the video, cheers!
YOOOOOO Abe thanks for watching!!!! We use the CARDO PACK BOLD!
@@SunGymLive awesome I'll check out cycle gear and see if they got a pair. Thanks again, keep up the good work and have fun riding!
She needs you bro. Why? Because we all need each other brother. I once thought I was able to be alone but I learned really fast...Two is better than one. Anyway, good video it’s all good😉🤙🏼.
Thank you brother :)
Ha perfect. I just bought this bike but the ABS version so basically the exact same bike and I'm 5'4". I could two foot with toes and am going to get it lowered but it's nice to know she's an inch shorter and is able to be confident driving the bike. It makes me feel a lot more confident while I wait the next few days to pick up the bike.
OOOO getting the bike in a fe days!!!! Is this your first bike?
@@SunGymLive yup! I rode dirt bike in high school a few times but not enough to say I’m experienced. It was also like 15 years ago lol. I pick the bike up Tuesday. Unfortunately I’m up north so it’s supposed to be 32 degrees 😐.
@@kbob9625 Thats awesome. In case you need a refresher here is our how to ride video - ruclips.net/video/XPGyYrS_KcI/видео.html
@@SunGymLive oh for sure. I've already watched it lol. I think I watched all your ninja 400 videos.
Lake Murray SC LOL! Thats awesome. Just beginning to ride bikes. Thank you for the video and happy new year !
SC BABY!
What are the odds I’m looking at your videos for the first time and I notice you guys riding through my city!
WOOOOOT Well welcome welcome :)
This is my first video I watched from u guys lol the legs in the pic made me click… all due Respect….I’m a New new rider and buying my first bike very soon and been looking at entry level bikes … I’m short just like Queen …I’m 5’3 and the both of u gave great info on the ninja 400 after watching this video I subbed to u guys and made my choice on my first bike… I’m getting the 2022 ninja 400 thank u both for ur hard work drive safe and God bless ya … keep up the great content guys!!
Now we talking!!!!! Ya can't go wrong with the Ninja 400 as your first bike. PLENTY of power. Great riding position. EASY to learn on. You will love it. ONLY thing you have to decide on is what color you will be choosing for your self. Thanks for subbing helps us out!
@@SunGymLive I’m super conflicted on the colors… I love both colors I haven’t seen the black one in action but the color Queens bike is…. It’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥 if I have enough I’ll probably get both colors…also my first choice of bike was a 2021 KTM Duke 390…which bike would u pick for a first bike?
love it man !!! Getting my first ninja 400 in about a month or two after I finish my MSF on the 5th. This was a perfect review !!
means a lot brother thanks for watching and giving feedback!
I have a 400 myself and I love it and it's light so I believe that you will like it
@@SunGymLive I have the red one
@@SunGymLive I'm also upgrading the exhaust to a Coffman slip on and possibly putting underglow on it

I like this format. Great video
Means a lot thanks brother!
Watching it again on the big tv :) you at 12:10 LOL and the Queen sure is catching on quick to riding ..Gratz to her .. Keep them coming Brother "sungymsalute" I will be watching
BRO not sure if you saw the replay but I opened the box and like 15 mins later someone said there might be a note inside and IT SAID JOCKY!!!!! TY Brother!
@@SunGymLive LOL i did watch it, your reaction was great :)) glad you found out about the notes inside lol .....Your Welcome Brother.... Vrooooom on the back ..AdventureMan on the front .. Perfect... "sungymsalute"
@@jockyboy9606 LOL I just looked at the back PERFECTION!
@@SunGymLive lol :) 100%
As someone who would be a new rider I really think all the features that are available in this really do make it a great or perfect first bike :) I'm 5'9 190 pounds, I like that this is versatile in that I could take it short rides or longer rides without issue :) I was pretty on the fence between this or the 650 but I feel like this would be better for me c:
Me too, I own a cruiser but would like to get either the 400 or the 650 Ninja.
@@SB-mw1bg Right, I'm glad I'm not alone there and yeah I think either would be a great option! The more I see the 400 the more I'm like this could be it.
Considerably less $$ as well.
@@SB-mw1bg True!! Yeah the 400 is quite a lot more affordable indeed!
Yeah I’m gonna be riding next season I. Which I’m debating on what I want to get as I’m a smaller guy and still need riding experience as I don’t wanna kill myself when pushing (if I was to get a 650) it to see how fast I can go even tho it’s not about speed.
I’m 5’5 & 110 pounds so with that being said I’m thinking I should drive a ninja 400 for a season and get the hang of riding and slowly upgrade.
Let me know your thoughts
ive been riding 30+ years and this bike is perfect. just enough power to get into trouble
Man that ninja 400 is nice I got the ninja 400 2022 and I efing love it , by the way yours videos about the 400 awesome love you guys let’s keeeeep riding 🤙🤙🤙
Thanks it means a lot to us
"I'm a beginner" going only 45 XDXDXD
Hi! I just got a z400, now i want the ninja lol! Fun videos! thankyou!!
z400 THERE WE GO!!! Thanks for watching it helps me out a shit ton!
she rides alot like i do... not to fast, not to crazy...just joy cruises...but yea that bike will haul ass when pushed!! the 400's are phenominal for all kinds of riders!!
:) They are fantastic bikes!!!! Thanks for watching brother helps me out a ton!
Damn man, I recognize that dam and neighborhood. You live literally next to me! I thought I heard someone revving some bikes around.
Oh shit that's awesome
Awesome video! Thanks for the new-rider tips!
My pleasure
4:42 That lake looks huge
The lake is approximately 50,000 acres!
Great information about shifting. Thank you.
Jamar MY pleasure brother. Thanks for watching man it helps me out a lot!
What's the name of the black bike ?
The way you two act is just like me and my lady lmao love it. She loves you guys as well.
Hell ya brother!
Another great video, love watching these!!
TY brother!!!!!!! This helps out a lot!
That answer my question. I was debating between the 400 and the R3 for another bike to teach short female's (5'-3" and up) if they can flat foot. I heard the clutch is to soft (replacing the clutch spring should solve it). I use to own a ZX-7R (first bike) but I'm laying my eyes on a MV Agusta F3. I been riding since early 1990's.
Hi bro! New subs here! Great bike and great review. Planning to buy that beast bike... see u!
SUP BROTHER!!!! I appreciate the sub!!!! Here is my ?s for you.... WHAT COLOR are you getting?
“Wanna see this trick I learned”😂😂
Lol she didn't like it
YO ALWAYS GREAT WEHN THE KING UPLOADS
Ty brother!!!!
Cool channel bro. My girl told me to do the dishes today and I promptly advised her I’m not interested lmaoooo
LOLLLL I'm sure that went well!
Thanks for the info...I loved the Jaxx Teller...thankfully no rigs around!
Ahh yes the Jax Teller reference
6:43 Hey! Hey!!! Slow down Speed Racer!
Got the new 2021 metallic gray and black coming in THIS WEEKEND and I am hype. These bikes are sexy
THAT would be the color I would of gotten 100%. ENJOY IT!!!!! is this your first bike?
@@SunGymLive Can. not. wait. Very first bike
This is goals for sure and very informative. What bike you riding?
I'm on the GSXR 600
Hey I know that Dam! Maybe y’all can teach me to ride when I get my bike lol. Awesome video though
Hell ya we got a how to on that
@@SunGymLive already on it! Watched all of them! Appreciate it! Leaning towards that ninja 400 but the place queen got hers from outta stock on all 400s
There is a ninja 400 in my local bike shop and it looks just like yours and i want it bad
good choice brother!
Nice! Like hearing how she feels about our bike. Only thing for me is I want more power. Not faster necessarily, just want to get up there and scoot a bit quicker. Have one already picked out, maybe next year.
THE MOTO NINJA!!! Ya I would need more power as well.
Then put a tuner on your bike
ZX4R is coming, 400 with an I4 like the 600 and 1000. Should be a significant boost in HP, but in the higher RPMs
Little late but get a drop in air filter, a tune, and a full exhaust.
Really enjoyed this review. Great back and forth commentary with both of you having communication letting us hear both sides...really different and interesting. However......Bro, no gear? T-shirt and sneakers? Not good form and not a good influence on other riders. We don't want to see the video and hear the commentary of you in the emergency room getting the gravel scraped out of your wounds. Ride safe.
THEY look like sneakers but we both wear riding shoes. armored pants, armored gloves, and helmets. She always wears her jacket I am on and off with it. THANKS for the feedback brother thanks for watching helps us out a lot!
Great video
I also want a bit more lean. Not quite like your bike but a little more because more comfy for me. I am 5 8, and don’t like being so straight up.
Less Scooter more Sporty I get ya!
That's the way Queen, in it for the fun. They will all go fast enough to lose your license. You can sometimes even have more fun on a small chuckable bike like the 400 or the older CBR250RR (man that bike screams awesome like an F1 car) or something like a KTM 390 Duke than a bigger litre bike. Haha just message on discord and follow the program! Queen's gear changes are nice and smooooooth.
Its more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow :)
@@SunGymLive this!!! 100%
Little late, but would we be able to tip toe if we're 5'0 exact?
So my wife ask me what i thought about a gsxr 600 and my first thought was you, i was like doesnt he ride some death trap like that? I was like i'd love to have one...i dont know what she planning but im all for upgrading my ninja 400 to a gixxer!! Lol
I started on that 'death trap' and glad I did. I need to do an update and a legit review on the GIXXER!
@@SunGymLive yea im hoping she lets me get one!!
@@SunGymLive i only call it a death trap cuz ITS FAST A F*CK BOYYY!!
@@shepherdosouls8654 Oh she fast as hell that's right
@@shepherdosouls8654 let you??
I had this bike from 10miles new out dealership 1 and a half years 10,000 miles down , have had it taken by chp for speeding ,, Has more then enough power to get you in trouble 😈 but now fast enough to beat a coo and high speed ,
Ah yes the 400 is plenty of power!
Quality content, planning to get one :)
Hell ya!
Great videos like how you review Kawasaki ninja I am small and I've tried honda CB 500 f and I can't but feet down so I am thinking about the Kawasaki ninja now 400 I be new rider to is it good bike I only want it to ride back forward to work and just have ralxing ride outs thanks brilliant safe riding 👍🇬🇧❤️

I’m buying one this week, 2021 with 5K miles on it. Trading up from my Honda CB300F. How much shifting do you actually do because my Honda is my daily and just got annoyed by all the shifting I had to do on it in the street
Its still a lot of shifting.
The Kawasaki ninja is the street bike i would want,they are good bikes!
Hell ya they are!! Thanks for watching brother
those sound effects are top notch

best show brother!
Would you recommend this bike to a high schooler instead of a car?
No
I’ve been riding since I was a kid and have owned many motorcycles over the years.Im been looking at this bike for for a hard minute.Just looking now for a small bore sport bike just to cruise around on and enjoy the ride. No more speed for me. Just want to get out on my weekends a go for rides.
This might be the perfect fit.
? Coming from your experience how does this 400 feel to you? Just had a hip replacement a month ago and am hoping to be able to throw my leg over this bike when I heel.
@@Elisplushies360woodierc Funny you ask that we are about to release a comparison video between the ninja 400 / gsxr 600 and which to choose for new riders. I no your not a new rider but my thoughts on the 400 will be in the video. Based on what you said a ' smaller ' sports bike want to just ' cruise ' around and ENJOY the ride man you basically just described the Ninja 400.
What mods would you recommend for new riders? You mention a few here on the 400, are they for safety or for comfort?
The grippers are to help your legs stick to the tank of your bike for better control.The sliders are incase you drop that B. Finally the exhaust is to make your bike louder so the cars can hear you coming brother!!!!!
Great video as always. o7
TY Brother! o7

Almost got that color, but ended up with gunmetal green.
Ahhh can never go wrong with gunmetal!
Never rode a bike b4 but can u start on a 600 if I don't b on the throttle ia 5'9 I know how to drive a stick shift car
100% you can start on a 600. I did with ZERO motorcycle experience and NEVER driven a manual car. My FIRST bike was the GSXR 600 with over 100hp. So yes.. it is possible as long as you have THROTTLE control!
@@SunGymLive ok thank u
Awesome video. i've been trying to decide if I wanna jump up to the 400 or go to the R7? i currently ride a gsxr250 and looking to upgrade
OOOO brother that is a choice. If you want give me your thoughts between both? IF I WAS YOU.... I would go with the R7. Would not have to upgrade after that. With the 400 you may want to upgrade again in the future. Your baby gixxer was your starting bike. 400 is another starter bike. MY VOTE = R7 Baby!
@@SunGymLive i would love to go for the r7 as that would most likely be my final sportsbike and I feel ready for a bike like that. On the other hand a lot of people I've been talking to say going from a 250 to a 650+ sportsbike will be a huge gap and that something like a 400 would be a great step buttttt as you've said the 400 is a learner bike. that's my thoughts.
@@arvistis509 I mean I started on a GSXR 600 which is more powerful than the r7. You can start on any bike AS LONG as you have throttle control and know what you are doing. Either option is a good option just ride safe!
@@SunGymLive I'd definitely go for the gsxr 750 but our roads here in New Zealand aren't very good for super fast bikes, so the r7 would probably be the best choice as it's more centered for commuting rather than the gsxr 600 or 750
Hey im 5’4 would i struggle to keep up the 400. And are there any bike recommendations for shorter people?
Mini bike? 🤔
Jessica is 5`3 and can almost flat foot it and can keep it up with out an issue.
@@SunGymLive ah okay sick ty
Y’all are just so funny together
Thanks!
Whats your personal opinion on 650s and opinion on them for beginner riders?
I started on a GSXR 600 with over 100hp. You can start on any bike as long as you understand clutch and throttle control. The higher cc bikes are less forgiving if you give it to much throttle at the start, during a turn, hell doing anything you are going to fly and it might freak out a new rider. Lower cc bikes won't have that much power. A 650 has some power but can still be a first bike to someone. Take a course to practice.
She asked are they open and there is literally an electric sign that says Open.
Lololol
If you over 25 years old i recommend u don't waste ur money and start on 650cc
U will be bored shitless with a 400cc as first bike . At least that happened to me
What do you guys use for communication on the road
How do you guys talk to each other? via bluetooth? or phone call?
CARDO PACK BOLD
Wow gas was cheap back then
You are both a hoot! 😂😂 Love the review! What’s the top speed? Like would you feel comfortable at highway speeds of 75mph for a couple of hours? Thanks much!
YOOOOO! Thanks ya we have done an interstate video and she is just fine on it. Top speed over 120.
@@SunGymLive Thanks soo much! 👍😊
what would you recommend to upgrade to after the ninja 400
600
Hey, Man
It seems to be a lot of people claiming the Ninja 400 has a big issues with the clutch…
As it wears out way to fast. Any thoughts on this ? Do you have this kind of problem?
Looking to get one for myself, but just found out this common issue
We have not had that issue brother.
She's collecting oils from other cars on her tires; unless she's passing or allowing you to pass she stays in the middle of her lane whereas you remain on either side of you lane. Please talk to her about that.
