Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which bike is the best Ninja 650 or Ninja 400?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. Ninja 650 now gets a 4.3-inch colour-TFT screen with smartphone connectivity, Shod with grippier Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres. On other hand, The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 400 will come with a twin-LED headlamp and a semi-digital instrument cluster. The Kawasaki Ninja 400 is powered by a 399cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin motor that is mated to a six-speed gearbox. Peak power of 45PS is generated at 10,000rpm, with 37Nm of peak torque kicking in at 8,000rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
  • Depends on what you will use it for. If you plan do drive even 50% in the city, go for the 400. It's power to weight ratio is close to the 650, yet more manouverable. Go for the 650 only if you plan to go on long tours.Pillion on 400 is almost useless, so if you plan on doing long tours with a pillion, go for the 650.
  • Ninja 650 isn't a good choice to make if you ask me bike sound isn't that great as u expect. whereas the ninja 400 is a monster and only one bike of its segment makes it even cooler. sound keeps improving as u ride more. Riding ninja 400 is pure sports. My suggestion is go for the 400

Q. Which one should i buy Kawasaki Ninja 400 or the Honda CBR 500R?
  • It would be unfair to give a verdict here as the bikes have not been launched yet. You are requested to wait till the official launch. Stay tuned.
Q. What is the price of this price? Is it worth to buy?
  • The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 400 is priced at Rs 4,99,000, ex-showroom Delhi, which is the same price as the previous-gen bike. This is a good pick. This new Kawasaki supersport is priced at a big premium over its counterpart, and hence Kawasaki should have updated the underpinnings to position this new Ninja more in line with its rival. Mechanically, the Ninja 400 is identical to the older model, carrying on with the 399cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine with 45.3PS and 37Nm on tap. While the power figure remains the same, the BS6-compliant motor produces 1Nm less than its BS4 avatar.

    The only missing thing is the USD front forks, even 150cc bikes are provided with USD forks, but it disappoints.

    Prices back 

    Amegif i had to use one word to describe the kawasaki ninja 400 as soon as i hopped off after my first ride on it, It would be “shocking”! now this small(ish) capacity ninja isn’t new to shocking us… the first time it did so was when kawasaki announced the prices back in april of this year.Now though, It’s giving us that good-kinda shock.Because after years of getting somewhat insipid 250s and 300s, This 400 finally feels like a proper kawasaki! and here’s why.Ing.
