About Kawasaki Ninja 400 Competitors
Yamaha R3: It comes with a 320cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin motor that is refined and makes 42PS of power. Complementing the motor is a very capable chassis that feels just right, regardless of whether you are in city traffic, touring or belting down the racetrack. The introduction of ABS adds Rs 23,000 to the cost of the previous version, but for that you also get stickier Metzeler Sportec M5 tyres.
DSK Benelli 302R: The Benelli 302R isn’t an outright performer thanks to its weight. However, if performa
nce isn’t a priority and if you are looking for a lot of pose value, the 302R is a good option. It feels smooth, offers confidence-inspiring handling and a very dramatic exhaust note that is similar to much bigger bikes.
Kawasaki Ninja 300: The Kawasaki Ninja 300’s parallel-twin engine feels rev happy and is extremely refined with plenty of power at the top. It is lighter than the 302R but 1kg heavier than the Ninja 400. It feels confident, nimble and engaging as an entry-level sportsbike. It costs more than the 302R and the Yamaha R3, that too without ABS. The Ninja 300 is as admirable as before and provides a good balance between track day and city commutes. It’s a more affordable option over the Ninja 400 but not the Yamaha R3. Also, it will prove to be less intimidating of the two.
