I like the bike & a nice vid in general but the front end isn't fully adjustable. It's got a 37 mm inverted front fork (SFF-BP) with spring preload adjustability. It's an odd choice by Kawasaki imo not to add compression & rebound too as the additional cost is minimal. However either way, it doesn't mean the stock suspension isn't ok but it's far from premium.

Honestly unless you are a really aggressive rider the front suspension is fine. I'm 6' 4", 260 pounds plus and have almost 3000 miles on mine and I can't complain. It's not a cheap bike, but the sound, and ergos for me, are really good. People say you should buy the ZX6r, for the money. Yes maybe if I wasn't so tall and old. With that bike I wouldn't be able to ride for very long. I've done 250 miles on it and it's not bad.

@@mustang32758 Interesting. Good to know. I've no doubt it's more than good enough on the street for the vast majority of riders. Either way I'm definitely not good enough to take it to it's limits on road or track for sure. I guess my point was more that the info was frustratingly wrong in the vid & I personally think Kawasaki missed a trick by not having fully adjustable forks as even with the slightly softer ergos, it's still fundamentally a sports bike that will end up on track fairly often with a lot of owners. Although that wouldn't stop me buying one & I'd have it before the 6R. If the forks bothered me that much, I'd just get a cartridge kit.

You can fit an aftermarket exhaust from the ZX25R right on the 400RR.

Sorry but 188kg claimed weight. 80/85 hp with a bit of fettling, but that weight is a deal breaker. I had a CBR 400RR with magnesium wheels that came in at 171 wet 154 dry. 72 hp on dyno with filter, exhaust and remap. I would put money down that bike would trash this bloated kwak around any tight winding circuit. This is all the downsides of a 600 without the power, it is an absolute disappointment.

“Less than 10k” as if that justifies a heavily de-tuned small bike for a price only 10% less than its real supersport big brother Zx6r. It’s a miss in my book for the price, weight and terrible factory tune. Just get a ninja 400 and put 2k into it and you’ll beat this on track.

The fact they didn’t mention that pig has a steel frame and weighs 420 lbs yet only 53 HP makes all this disingenuous. It’s 70 lbs more than a Duke 390 with 10 more hp for over twice the price. Biggest letdown ever for this small bike fan.

@@mattjosefczyk2579You must have your information wrong about the Aprillia but it is one of, if not the, lightest in class. Most reviews I've read have put it 385 wet and ready to ride. That is a good 30lbs lighter than this Ninja. But you are correct about rolling the dice on Aprilia reliability. At least its a smaller and cheaper bike so if things go south it will be easier and cheaper to work on! LOL I wanted this to be my next track bike but the steel frame and high price (along with the neutered ECU in the US) killed it for me.

@@IDontKnow-bb6mt ECU flash is only a couple hundred, so that's not a huge deal. The frame being steal is also not a deal killer, but the price is my opinion is the thing that can be a buzz killer. I found a leftover 2023 for $9551 OTD, so for me it was a no brainer.

Let's be clear here: if you flash your ECU to get around the noise restrictions and ride on the street, in California the people who flash your bike can be fined $50k. This bike is DOA. Also, it's too heavy.
