- My Ninja 400 review from a more experienced perspective. Like, comment & subscribe if you like what you see. Ninja 1000 review coming soon(and may replace my bike next spring)
Finally figured out what was wrong with my editing software. I use a free beta and it had an issue with locking the FPS down to 24. I got it resolved a few days too late so all content form here WILL be in 60fps. Thanks for watching!
I owned a yahamah r6. I test rode the ninja 400 and fell in love . Put my r6 on Craigslist. Sold it and bought the ninja 400! It's a blast!
Isn't it crazy! It's so damn light weight that even though it has much lower power it is crazy fun...and let's be honest...an r6 will encourage bad behavior at 100+ but these 400s are just as fun, if not more fun in the 0-60 range. These are the kind of bikes that beginners and experienced riders alike will be holding onto for a long time.
I was thinking I'd go ninja 400, ninja 650 , then r6
@@truemoo3450 or you can stop at the ninja 400 or ninja 650. You dont always have to keep going bigger and bigger. The lighter bikes are fun as well and great on gas
I have a 2019 N400 and just sold my 2019 ZX6R. I kept the 400 because of how much fun it is and can ride it on long trips. So much fun ripping through the gears. The ZX6R was a blast too but a little too uncomfortable for me and way too tempting to go fast. I did 140mph on it and decided to sell so my kids can keep their dad around a little longer.
skipp crider lmao that speed is the only thing keeping me from getting a bigger bike
Already racked 4,000 miles onto mine in just a few weeks. Fun handling. 60 MPG. Reasons to keep it.
I don't think I could ever sell mine...I love it. Sold my 18 R3 and 19 ZX6R because my N400 was all I need.
best value on the market i know a few guys that had 1000 and 600 and did like you (so they can keep theyr license and still rip thru it) im interested in it for the same reason lol
I bought this same bike as my first bike about three weeks ago - same color, year, and everything. I'm absolutely in love with it. Even when I move onto a bigger bike, I don't think I'm ever going to sell this thing. It's a great commuter bike that can be fun on the highway (from a beginner's point of view) when it wants to be.
If you're a new rider who's interested in sport bikes but would also prefer something without a lot of temptation-inducing power, then I'd highly recommend this bike. It's a phenomenal value...And it isn't just a boring little moped, either.
Iron Shredder same here brother..just got mine today....
To point out the obvious, that was a much better review. Great insight to the beautiful N4. Thank you!
Good review. Thanks for posting.
That's not far from me at all. I'm going to be going there to get a Ninja 400 ABS.
I think they are fantastic...the store and the bike. Be safe man!
Beginner rider here.. would you rather get the 2020 ninja 400 over a 650 as a first motorcycle? Will i outgrow the 400 quick? Or maybe stick with 650 and not worry about upgrading anytime soon?
Thanks for the response! Sub!
It depends a little. If you think you will be obsessed with speed, like trying to do high speeds on a highway with friends, both bikes will fall short. The 400 rewards a heavy throttle...you can really beat on them pretty hard. The 650 will also, but you'll get a fair bit more power when you slam it...so it can put you in more dangerous places faster than the 400. This is a very difficult question to answer because it really depends on you.
For me, I think I would have been happy with either bike. I probably would have outgrown the 400 quicker than the 650. I am also tempted to get a faster bike than the 650...but for me that may be a very dangerous idea as I love acceleration.
At the end of last season, I re-geared my 650, taking 1 tooth out on the front sprocket going from 15 teeth to 14. My top speed is a little slower but I accelerate from 0- 60 much faster now.
Ideally I'd be in a Ninja 1000...but that's the wrong bike to learn on for sure.
I would advise you to go to a local dealership and test drive both bikes... If you are looking at new, both of them should have very similar features. See if you feel more comfortable on one of them than the other...but if speed is something you'd find yourself addicted to, go 650and regear after a season or two.
Sorry for the mile long reply lol
Thank you for your detailed response! It helped me a lot. I sat on both 400 and 650.. both felt good and comfortable. I wasn’t able to test drive it because I don’t have the motorcycle endorsement yet. Still waiting for my MSF course. How tall are you? How’s the seat comfort on the 650 for long rides? I think i’ll be the same way, i’m going to love accelerating faster so i’m leaning towards the 650. Is financing a motorcycle a good idea? $2500 is the difference between the 400 and 650. I don’t want to be broke put everything in it, i still have to buy good quality gears.
@@mykg1442 as a new rider financing can be a bit risky only because you are more likely to put your bike down in your 1st season than any other. That being said, a 650 isnt a huge $ difference as you pointed out. I would figure out a helmet you like and get them to throw it into the deal...maybe even push for a jacket too if you can. Do not sacrifice your safety for the bike...if you are put in those shoes, walk away for a month till you can bridge the $ gap. for what it is worth, I am riding a 2012 650, so I bought used and my bike cost me the difference in price between the 2 new ones you are considering. one final note, check insurance quotes for full coverage. I think I pay less than 30/month for full coverage but make sure you also can get affordable coverage before you buy.
Come to Oregon and test ride my bike! 😍
I may actually be doing a review video on the old 70s version of it and contrasting it with new lineup. Also go and test the Ninja 1000 this Tuesday!
You ever notice how the mirrors and windshield position while riding look like a puma is staring at you?
hahaha, not until now!
Replaced both...couldn't handle the stare of the puma. Puig windscreen and N300 mirrors.
For me it's like ant antenna
Hey, how did u get the rd colour bike? They only have two on the website.
It was a stock floor model at this local shop
@@716Flat4 I see, thanks for clearing that up.
Hell yeah it’s a great bike bro
If you had your time again would you still get the 650?
I have the same bike.........it’s awesome!
He Kevin..how do find the shifting..haven’t mastered it yet... purchased the same color and model Today
What type of microphone are u using and can it be used on a Bluetooth to make phone calls?
its a mic from purple panda that wires directly to my gopro, so no calls. For calls I just used the basic 10s sena.
Does it feel sporty while holding handle or is it very upright for a sports bike ?
The 400 has an upright riding position, but the way the handlebars are make it feel sporty. You can ride upright comfortably on this or easily tuck in and get down. the ninja 250, 300, 400, 650 and 1000 all have more of an upright ride than something like a 600 or zx10 which is very leaned forward. Its easier to put hours on the road upright BY FAR.
logicalthinker101 thnx for the reply 🙏🏻
would u recommend ninja 400 or zx6r for my first bike?
Erwin Cruz ALMOST everyone recommends the 400 for beginners.
I have a N400 and just sold my 19 ZX6R a few days ago. I highly recommend starting on the 400. The ZX6R is an insane beast. It's possible to learn on, but the 400 will have you smiling just as much and a lot more forgiving.
With COVID does anyone know if we can take classes to get your license?
Depends on where you live. I’m assuming you’re talking about the msf. Just look at the msf website and, it will show you who if any are scheduling dates to take the course.
That bike has ABS?
sure does
How Much This Bike cost (Otd Price)
man I am unsure. I didn't buy it, I just rode it. This video was made because the year prior I rode the same kind of bike and it was my first ride on the streets. So I redid the video to give a better perspective. I own a 650, but I think I would have been just as happy on this 400 considering how light it is and how much it enjoys being railed on.
i went to a dealer today in SoCal and they wanted 5,800 OTD
Is this faster than a new Yamaha r3
th 400 does 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and a 1/4 mile in 13.5...I can not find stats for anything other than model Yamaha yzf-r3 which is 0-60 in 5.3 secons and 1/4 mile in 14.3...the older yzfr3 was 5.1 and 14.1 respectively.
