The amount of riders that actually outgrow a 400--- minimal. Same people think they outgrow a 600 which is laughable... same people ride in a straight line and think they can ride lol... Reality is all bikes have gotten way more capable with tech and these starter bikes like the Ninja 400 were an intermediate bike back in the day. Love when riders on a S1000RR show up to their first track day and get passed in C group by riders on Ninja 400s and are befuddled by it lolol

Just got the '23 KRT edition for my birthday and I must say I'm absolutely in love with this thing. I had never driven anything motorized with 2 wheels prior to it and there's not a power intimidation factor to contend with on top of learning. It puts up with my newbiness phenomenally.

@@ThefourthT6 I think the Ninja 400 will still be the better daily with a better torque curve than the ZX4R. I’m definitely excited for the release in 2 days but I think it will be more track focused and the Ninja 400 is a perfect balance of trackability and dailyability, however if you are solely looking for a track bike then that ZX4R looks incredibly promising and I can’t wait to hear that inline 4 as well.
@jefforymitchell5697

@@ThefourthT6 The ZX4R is almost the same weight with almost twice the horsepower and a much higher powerband, not to mention it comes with a host of electronics like traction control, rider modes and a quickshifter. All those electronics result in a beginner not having to learn proper clutch control and throttle management in various weather conditions. It's not a bike for a beginner to learn on. The 400 is a better daily because of the low down torque and light weight, plus it's plenty of fun on a racetrack or a twisty road.
