Featuring the current World Super Bike Champion Jonathan Rae and Kawasaki team mate Tom Sykes:
You can have your cake and eat it too. The Ninja 400 riding posture is Sport Touring, yet its turf is on paved track. I've never seen so many reviews of an entry class sport bike on tracks like the Ninja 400. This is normally reserved for RR SuperSports. I can assure that the Ninja 400 is equally at home on town streets.This just proves that it's not the bike, but the rider that matters and you wouldn't know it was a 400cc bike form just looking at the ad. Also captures riders perfectly, we ride to eat! Or at least I do.
Awesome video, I love it... I wish I could go do that, It looks like so much fun..!You can have your cake and eat it too.

What do you think the chances are Kawasaki left a bottle of break fluid open long enough to absorb moisture, spongy usually means compressible bubbles, I'm thinking maybe the lines on the 400 are sub-par and expand as they heat up.Interesting what he says about the brakes having squishy feel at the lever and fading under heavy use. Wonder if they just needed a good bleed?
Brake fade is more a symptom of the pads overheating and to be fair he was riding the bike hard in a track situation where sintered pads would be the better option.What do you think the chances are Kawasaki left a bottle of break fluid open long enough to absorb moisture, spongy usually means compressible bubbles, I'm thinking maybe the lines on the 400 are sub-par and expand as they heat up.
Hot **** those rearsets though! I want those! I'd also like the radiator.
Anybody speak Thai?
