2012 Kawasaki Ninja 400R[edit | edit source]
The 2012 MY Kawasaki Ninja 400R can only be purchased in Canada, and it is basically a smaller, more "canadian" friendly version of the Ninja 650R. Its bodywork is more elegant-looking somehow, but still keeping it in tune with its sporty side. It might even be worth moving to Canada so you could own this motorcycle, if a middleweight sport bike with solid commuting capabilities is what you're after.
On the tech/engine side, Kawasaki have equipped it with a 4-stroke, parallel twin engine that displaces 399cc paired by a 6 speed cassette-type gearbox (the race bike way), with positive neutral finder transmission, so it's lots of fun to ride.
2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 KRT Edition[edit | edit source]
A new steel frame has been created for Ninja 400 KRT that uses the shortened engine as a tense element and tightens the wheelbase by nearly one centimeter at 53.9 inches. With an all-new engine design and a lightweight chassis, this sporty and approachable sportbike offers the perfect balance of everyday street riding and sport riding. The 399cc twin cylinder engine delivers smooth and broad power that is easy to use for a range of riders.
