Buyer’s Guide Model Detail

Buyer's Guide > Ninja 400
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
The beginner bike segment has seen an arms development race in recent years. It wasn't that long ago that Kawasaki's Baby Ninja was a 250. Then we got the 300 version, and now we have the Ninja 400. This machine is more powerful than its predecessor, lighter, and comes in at a  reasonable price still, if you're buying the basic black bike. Going for the ABS option adds $400 to the MSRP, and if you want the green KRT paint scheme, that's another $200.
