The bike I started last year's riding season with - the Kawasaki Ninja 400! This actually was my first ride back at home. At this point I only had one day of riding before which was a month before making this RAW here. So this A2 bike was just the right thing to get back into it :) ENJOY!

![IT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK! Suzuki Hayabusa sound [RAW Onboard]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/d3zzQe6ORV0/mqdefault.jpg)
In the right hands these 400’s are terrors in the corners. Not too fast in the straights but a lot of fun to ride in the tight stuff.
yesss
Can confirm, such a good bike
These are good bikes better than honda
@@deathtroopers4345 Lmao better than "honda", depends on what honda lmao
HappyOwl
All you dork lol
Honda = overpriced junk bikes
This IS a great video, no talk, just engine sound and, good road and green nature.
thanks
I've heard alot of people say the Kawasaki twins have a bland sound but i like it. It really has a character all its own and in the high revs it sounds pretty mean. It dosen't have the same sound as an inline 4 sportbike but thats what makes it unique.
Refinement
It is a nippy little thing, but then again, you make every bike look fast compared to my riding skill lol.
lol
Im distracted by right index finger
too bad
@@Schaaf cabage... or savage.. whatever you want to call it.
i think its safe and good for you to drive like this ... seems a little wierd
What exactly is that tho?
@@Schaaf were you braking as you were shifting down and blipping the throttle?
The liter bikes are awesome no doubt, but you have to admit these new small displacement bikes are pretty exciting and the 400 Ninja may be the best of them, for now.
very much so
i drove many liter bikes...more than happy i was scared most of the time because i got into many troubles quickly. With the 400 i'm having the time of my life
d3stroyah and they are WAAYY CHEAPER in everything and they don’t burn tires so quick tho
Thgt Ggyh the rc390 is very unreliable
@@d3stroyah It´s more fun to ride a slow bike fast - than a fast bike slow
4:00 lol that blue car is going wide at 30 kph
yea
Thank you for uploading and English subtitles! I’m big fan of your channel and always enjoy it. Cheers from Japan
thanks a lot!
The first time i tested the 400, i had such a riot! Lively little engine, wheighs as much as a 125, has the bare minimum wind protection, perfect fun yet easy first bike. I made 2 friends with fresh A2 licenses test it last year and now they both have one 😂 but 3-4 month old used ones, saves you 2k 😉
Awesome!!
How do you get your license? Do you attend a course for like a month or so, complete the final test, then go to the dmv to get your license or what?
@@Ejtoowavy at least in the eu you have theoretical lessons, around 12 and practical lessons, around 20-ish hours worth, including night riding, highway, b-roads and city riding. And THEN you are being examined in around 30-45 minutes of irl riding
Bro all it takes here to get an A2 in VietNam is sit down in your house doing nothing until the day of the examination which includes both theoretical test and riding skills test
Thank you for uploading this. I’ve only ridden for 5 months in the city. I now have a better idea of how a bike can be ridden in curvy areas and how quickly a person can downshift and rev match. This was rather enlightening.
I love this video. I can't tell you, how often I watched it already.
The kawasaki ninja 400 is my dream bike and I will buy it in 2 years.
it's the perfect dream for the start!
Me too
You get that bike yet?!
you get the bike yet?
Man, the review of my dreams. Only sound of the bike and the text straight to the point. Awesome. Your riding is superb and this Ninja 400 looks like a great starter for me. Yeah, the sound is a little cheap, but still it´s 2 cylinder 400, right? Great job!
it sure is one perfect starter bike!! Thanks!
I'm going to my local dealership to look at a ninja 400 and a cbr500r which ever one is more comfy to me is the one I'm picking price don't matter to me both are beautiful and awesome sounding.
@@joebone3151 to be fair the cbr500 is a lot of money and not much better because it isnt much faster. You could pay less for the ninja and spend more on gear and mods
@@user-360johnn like I said I'm not deciding until I get to atleast sit on both and feel the ergonomics for my self. I do understand the ninja is cheaper and handles better but, man the cbr is no slouch. Oh well I understand your trying to help though.
So what did you buy
I'm honestly glad I got this bike, if I had got something faster I'd be so dead, deff think beginners should grab one of these, it's the smart choice, stay safe youngbloods
The sound is nothing an aftermarket exhaust won't fix. I've heard nothing but good things about the 400.
Define "fix"? A parallel twin will sound like a parallel twin no matter what kind of exhaust is on it.
As an owner of a Kawi twin (in 650 flavor), an aftermarket exhaust takes it from quiet lawn mower to psychotic dirt bike. Yes even the 180 degree Kawi twin can be made to sound good.
I have a clip of the two brothers exhaust on mine on my channel.
@@mrvwbug4423 Sounds pretty good
You do have to like it loud though haha, Two brothers doesn't do quiet haha.
The bike sounds great stock and the horsepower increase with aftermarket exhaust is minimal-the engineers knew what they were doing when they designed the Ninja 400
Nice
A full Scorpion exhaust sounds amazing and adds a little more zip, but if I am honest with myself hardly noticeable for the most part. It will sound faster 😂
This Video Turned out To be a musical Track...indeed...👌
thanks man
the stock exhaust actually sounds great. love the rumble when riding pretty sure its good for cruising long distance.
It is
Very inspiring video i love the 400 i hope buy it one this year thank you for the review support from France
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. This video answered many non-verbal questions I imagined about this bike. You're an excellent rider.
thanks John
Exactly!
I’m riding motorcycles for 15 years now, but I’m still in love with those childish toys because you can really max them safely on the road!
Indeed!
New sub here!! Im liking these kinds of reviews. No talking, just the sound of the bikes, and quick info and impression on how the bike feels through text. Makes me enjoy the video more and kinda feels immersive.
welcome and thanks!
I have a '01 Ninja 500R that sounds almost exactly like this, and over a few months I grew to really appreciate the noise. It's got a real mean growl to it down low, and an enthusiastic battlecry up top. I actually prefer it to the CB, personally.
nice!
I have a '95 EX500 and I was surprised how much it sounds just like this 400. The 400 sounds a bit more refined but my carbs are likely not balanced properly. I'm considering replacing my 500 with one of these.
An alle Sportlerbegeisterten, die jetzt den A2 Schein machen, sollten sich unbedingt mal die Kawasaki ZXR 400 anschauen. Reihenvierzylinder mit 400ccm und nem top Fahrwerk. Des Teil hat mich die letzten 2 Jahre durch meine A2 Zeit begleitet und mir einfach en riesen Spaß bereitet und ist meiner Meinung nach, einfach nur wegen dem Vierzylinder, so viel geiler als sämtliche heutzutage produzierten A2 Sportler.
Bei 400ccm find ich 2 Zylinder geiler, aber jeder wie er will. Und jeder muss für sich entscheiden ob Abs oder nicht, ich denke die meisten wollen eins.
Show! Ninja 400 is especial, for me is beautiful! Power and stability. My Ninja 400 is year 2021 Black. Thank for video congratulations!
welcome!
@@Schaaf thank you!
I own the same bike but not the same skills ... looks like you are riding a completely different bike, awesome riding!!!
thanks man
Hi, whats the rare wheel width?
This was my first bike, I did 10.000km with it. Best bike ever (now have my 4th bike cause I need more power of course and more weight, this bike is dangerous on high ways when its windy)
alright!
Still waiting for the used market to mature, but I WILL own one. Have a ton of local roads just as tight as these, 45-50hp @ 168kg seems the perfect power-to-weight for maximum fun in such places.
sure is!
This video is my motivation to get one! Thank you so much for uploading!
They're some great roads and you're not hanging around are you....who needs 1000cc+ to have fun!
well. 1000cc are a lot of fun too :D
@Luigi __ its better with after market exhaust
Luigi __
What do you have? The handling is more important than exhaust.
Bunnyshooter 223 lol. If you’re buying a motorcycle for the exhaust sounds you’ve got your priorities wrong.
Totally agree
I am watching this in the winter just so i can hear it since its all snow out and I miss riding my ninja 400, great video
Thanks Nick
Team Green 💚
Ich finde die 400er top
Enjoy the bike life 🤙
mache ich!
Team grun
Bro at least show the bike itself like at the starting a roundabout and comments on design.
This videos are pure fun, felt the the thrill!
Great work! Thanks
thanks
Kawa power! 💚
I’m a fan of the Ninja 400, I have a 2018 R3 with full Akra 👌🏼 sounds unbelievable
nice
Always the Schaaf finger while full throttle 👌
he was like half throttle
@@prolificanalytics4499 actually I think it was mostly full throttle. After all this bike has only about 40-45hp.
Bro it doesn't matter that sound is mediocre or High quality. We love super bikes sound.. ❤️
Trying closing your eyes while listening to this with headphones
Damn it's good
nice
So glad I found this channel, how did I not know!
I bought a SV650 when obviously a 400 Ninja is more bike than I’ll ever need
Really showed me something today amazing 😉
Bravo 👏
thanks Sam
I send this to my buddies and rewatch when I think I need a bigger bike, lol
Ninja!
Yea my ninja 400 sounds exactly like that... pretty good quality audio
thanks Gary
Well it does look and sounds like a lot of fun. I used to ride a z650 during my rider licence lessons. Now I'm on a CB650R and I miss that familiar "wob wob wob" sound of Kawasaki's twins
My 2 cents. I own a 2019 cbr500r, stock exhaust still. I’ve been on ride with mates on ninja 650s and they had a very very hard time catch me off the line. The cbr has a very very nice torque line and the bike pulls hard from 4000 all the way to 8400 with no drop in power. Also it’s alittle heavy which I think makes it better for highway riding yet can still be thrown around bends very easily.
yea it's a fantastic bike for sure!
I’m a Honda guy normally but these 400s have such a sweet chassis and fun motor they’re much more fun than Hondas 500. Sure the 500 is more groan up, more roomy and probably better finished but the 400 is way more fun imho.
Lovely. I've just won a 78 KH400 and it looks amazing just have to master the art of start.
Have fun!
The little Kawasaki seems to be a great bike, fun and easy to ride 😊 Even if I don't consider myself as a beginner anymore, I would actually love to have such a bike (besides a bigger one) for short daily rides in the city. Maybe one day, when I will have enough money and parking space for having few different bikes 😉 Great RAW onboard video as usual. The sound quality was definitely not an issue 👌
I wish for you that this one day will become reality at one point :) Because indeed those small A2 bikes offer their own kind of fun!!
Old but still gold! This ninja is a hell of a pocket rocket!!! Songs veeeeery good too! I’ll ask to some friends down here owners of this little devil to let me ride to the sunset, burning some rubber and getting that smile on my face!!!
Good idea!
I own one so this is great to see
nice!
I come back to this video from time to time, I watch it while listening to "Mötley Crüe - Kickstart my Heart". I think I've said enough.
Nice
I wish to God that Kaw would put this motor into the Versys x 300!
maybe one day
Gotta expect it, should be a brilliant match.
they didnt even bothered designing a good looking versys 300......(imho)
I recently change my TRK502 for one of this and baby... This thing is a cornering beast! I'm loving this bike!
nice!!
good review! do you have the chance to drive the new R3 2019?
This sounds so much better then the cf moto 450 but I like the cf moto 450 look better.... what would you guys choose?
That is a zippy bike. Looks like you were having a good time. Great vid and review!
thanks man!
This little Ninja actually looks like a lot of fun
It definitely is
Mate you are such a fantastic rider, wish I had only some of your skill, I’d be killing it! Cheers 😅
Thanks man
that finger over the front break is very cleaver
Well
Will we ever see the video of the 2019 cbr500r?
Probably
Those bikes are slow compared to the ninja 400.
@@deathtroopers4345 lol no you foot licking freak.
6am Amoeba
Better than Honda dick brain
@@6amamoeba677 They actually are slower, look it up. The ninja 400 beats it in every test.
this is really a best bike for those who ride very less and want a big bike feel lovely twin engine good power lets be honest noone is riding this bike full throtle open and going through all 6 gears like motogp most will use this as a city or touring bike not everyone wants to go fast
Ok
Please do a ride review for the ktm duke 390
don't have access to one
Such a smooth and nice bike! It's a shame I've missed this video and only saw it now! Great content as always.
thanks Felipe!
Your rev match downshifting is so clean! Can you please explain me a little on how you rev match that easy?
I pull in the clutch, kid down in the gear and open the throttle and while closing it I let go of the clutch, but I still feel like the engine speed didn't catch up with the wheel speed because I get the feeling of slowing down really fast.
Regardless, great video! Loved it!
Well, unfortunately it isn't simple, that's all. It took me thousands of kilometers to practice. So patience is key basically. I unfortunately don't know any trick to it
it's really a great video you just have to appreciate the purr
Thanks
How do u get the sound of the bike with out all the wind???
Mic under the seat .sorry for bad english
@@philippsylla2527 you did great English. So u dont use a mic for talking?
I mean video quality + beautiful Autumnish environment =
Schönes Video! Ich wollte mir für a2 die z 650 holen. Ist die gut ?
Ich würde vom Motor her die SV 650 bevorzugen. Aber schlecht ist die sicherlich nicht
@@Lukas-gd9we dankeschön. Ja die SV 650 ist auch in der Wahl. Aber die wiegt mit 200 KG einfach zu viel. Und die dritte ist die Yamaha XSR 700. Das sind meine Favoriten.
Jan Rasing MT07 ist vielleicht das beste
@@janrasing9335 kannst mit keiner was falsch machen, da entscheidet wirklich nur der persönliche Geschmack was die Optik angeht. Fahr technisch allesamt sehr gut mit ordentlich Power bis 140.
@@BangBangFeuer richtig so. Sind alle gut
Wieso ist die Qualität mit der hero 7 Black so viel schlechter als z.B mit der Session 5 beim BMW 1250Gs Video?
Ich hab noch nie eine Session verwendet, welches Video meinst du?
@@Schaaf war mein Fehler! war die Hero 5 Black. Das Video "When do you need the new BMW R1250 GS?". Finde die Hero 5 / 6 Black Aufnahmen besser als die Hero 7 Black Aufnahmen deiner Cb500f Testfahrt und diesem Video hier. Welche taugt dir mehr von der Videoqualität, die Hero 7 Black oder Hero 6 Black ? Habe mir über deinen Rev Link etwas über Amazon bestellt als Dankeschön fürs Teilen deines Wissens bezüglich ND Filtern.
@@laktoweiz Danke dir!!
Die Qualität von Hero 5, 6 und 7 unterscheidet sich praktisch gar nicht. Meines Wissens nach wird seit der 4rer Black immer noch der gleiche Sensor verbaut, nur die restliche Hardware bzw. vor allem Software drumherum wird upgegradet.
Die Videos spiele ich auch immer mit den gleichen Rendersettings raus. Also prinzipiell haben das GS Video und alle anderen eigentlich immer die selbe Qualität. Warum manche dann trotzdem besser aussehen? Nun, das liegt an den vorherrschenden Umweltbedingungen. Im Falle des GS Videos gab es wenig schnelle Licht- und Schattenwechsel, weil ich da kaum unter Bäumen durchfahre. Und genau mit diesen Wechseln haben Digitalkameras bzw. deren Videocodecs sehr zu kämpfen. Die Videos werden schon beim Aufzeichnen auf der Speicherkarte komprimiert, es wird Information zusammengefasst, statt jeden Bildpunkt einzeln aufzuzeichnen (das wäre dann RAW und das können nur hochprofessionelle Filmkameras). Und diese Komprimierung ergibt im Falle von schnellen Lichtwechseln dann ziemlich hässliche Komprimierungsartefakte. Und deshalb sehen die Videos, die zB auf einer Strecke durch den Wald aufgezeichnet worden sind, schlechter aus.
Das die Qualität beim CB500F Video schlechter aussieht, dass liegt daran, dass die Linse der Kamera übelst verdreckt und verschmiert war. Zusätzlich habe ich es beim Colorgrading ein wenig übertrieben und das Bild tendenziell leicht überschärft.
@@Schaaf danke dir für die ausführliche Erklärung!
Mir fehlen die lustigen Tiergesichter von früher :D
mir fehlt die Zeit dafür :(
@@Schaaf Nils soll dir ein paar extra Urlaubstage für mehr Tiergesichter geben, kannst ihn ja mal fragen wie viele Urlaubstage ihm das wert wäre :D
Love my ninja 400!!
sweet!
Mt 07 the best a2 bike
when I talk about A2 bikes I mean bikes which don't need to be restricted
You can buy 35kw kit
I just can't 2 cylinder sound,just can't. Played the video thinking 1 min and next one but .. superb riding! Blipping perfect! Watching today everybody have quickshifter,auto blipper ... Was very interesting to watch. Not to bad sound on high revs
Thanks
Mines coming on Tuesday and I can’t wait, going from a cbr 125r to the 2019 ninja 400 krt performance edition and I’m hoping it’s gunna be the best £4800 I’ve ever spent lmao
Awesome!
I love this video format.
Thanks
You're still the best.. 💪💪 greetings from Philippines..
thanks man!
definetely want one a ninja 400 perf for when i do my a2 this thing looks and sounds sick.
Great choice
i love this Kawasaki Ninja 400 finally they made a motorcycle with reducing noice it is not good to the community if the motorcycle is to much noise love this bike so nice sound
true
thanks, this video let me understand exactly how's the bike. Having the 250 i'll step up to this one. I drive very similar to you so i can understand completely the feel and i like it. Nice step up.
thank you
I love my 400! Alot of fun to ride around city and highway.
nice
I’m watching this even though I have this bike in my garage. I’m riding it when I get home lol.
nice!
Great bike, great sound, great road, great nature... great video)
Thanks
Yes, ride differenct type of bike, im loving it
Thanks
I love the sound of the stock exhaust lol😂
Thanks
I'm on a GS at moment and you know what ,lovely to cruise but boring and heavy , this will be my next machine ,zippy thrashable fun to go to the cafe on the back roads for brekkie
Great plan!
@@Schaaf the zx-4r is on the horizon ....... that will be a winner
thank you, been waiting for ages to see this !
welcome!
you ride so beautifully! I cant wait to get my first bike in the near future
Thanks
Great video, Thanks for taking me along for the ride!!!!!
Welcome!
The perfect bike for A2 in France !
yea!!
Exactly!
I bought mine and got my license today , tomorrow will be fantastic!
Nice, have a good time. :D
Congrats man!
このブツブツ切れるようなエンジン音……………そこからの心地良いまでの滑らかな加速音……………素晴らしい…………………
Ok
If you're worried about the exhaust just get a full system. I've heard an R3 with a full Akrapovic exhaust an the sound is amazing. Loud pops an bangs with spitting fire. It'll add to the fun the bike already has.
Good to know!
@James Jones Bro you just need to audjust the fuel-air mixature and you are ready to go
You this guy is a beast such a good rider. I got the same bike
Thanks
I was looking at those rev matchings all along the video 😅👍
I used to listen the ninja 400 lots of time in real life, the stock exhaust sound sound bad until you reach a certain rpm range, and most of slip-on exhausts makes the bike sound like a psychotic dirt-bike but, I’ve heard some exhaust(both complete and slip-on) that makes the bike sound soooo much better, the sound whit a proper exhaust can be decent, just don’t buy crappy slip-ons and take off the db killer and you are ready to go
interesting!
I’m a new rider, waiting for the day when I can ride perfectly like you.
Cool
with this ultrawide angle it feels like yo go fast as hell. But you go safe and slow.My like!!!
Thanks
Ich muß mir mal bewußt ein Motorrad in dieser Hubraum-Klasse ausleihen um mal zu sehen wie die vorwärts gehen. In dem Video sieht das nach Spaß und recht zügig aus.
Freut mich für Dich, daß das Video so viele Aufrufe in einer Woche generiert hat. Ich hoffe der Yt-Algorithmus hat Dich wieder lieb.
Gut beobachtet ;) Hat er nicht unbedingt, aber manche Modelle generieren mehr Interesse als andere hehe Bzw. ist es fast immer so, dass ein erstmaliges Video mit einem bisher noch nicht gezeigten Motorrad wesentlich mehr Klicks generiert. Ich werde mich bald wieder an eine Toro Adventure Episode setzen und da werden wir dann eh sehen, was Sache ist ;)
Thank you for uploading this video❤️
thanks for commenting!
Great driving and nice bike!
Thanks! 👍
amazing bike. cant wait !!!
Thanks
Do you think by stroking it to 450cc, giving it a bit more torque but making it slower to rev will be an improvement?
no idea
This guy understands
:)
Lovely rev matching
Thanks a lot 😊
Stock exhaust??
