sister's first time on a bike, usually I dont like people touching my things hence why im so close making sure it dont fall but black on black is worth a photo
Mods on bike: 160 bt023 rear tire, ninja 300 smaller mirrors, puig short bar ends, cheap temp ebay exhaust, knife/blade brake and clutch levers
Seen the cbr 500 r so parked next to it and man compared to the ninja 400 its actually a lot smaller. sorry i didnt get any good angles of the ninja was rushing and was embarrassing haha
tst fender elim and tst license plate light, custom made license plate frame "had to cut in order to fit over tst eliminator and light" used the brackets to be able to use oem turn signals all in all I hated the kit, made meh and could have been a lot better though still looks pre cool lol just weighed stock fender without indicators or screws and its a little over 0.8kgs which is heavy asf

Cheers mate, the end now makes the 160 tire look even bigger as stated by a few mates im really liking the overall look, just have to install that custom tail light, battery and pro grips now and ill be set for a while
I hear ya buddy. That exhaust is like having a noise control officer stuck to your bike, sucking the life outta the good sounds:wink:
I'm impressed with the power delivery, it's smooth just as you said in another post.
I took the wife out on it the night of its arrival, and we met some of our family at a cafe. Then a nasty thunderstorm came in from the sea and it hosed down with plenty of lightning/thunder. I let her be dropped off at home by our daughter and I rode home alone in the pouring rain/wind. I was very impressed with the grip and handling (especially considering the new tyres). We both arrived at the same time -they had used an expressway at 100 + speeds and I used town roads with traffic lights etc. This thing stuck like glue to the road. Very impressed. :grin:

I agree, I rode mine home from the dealership in 32 degree weather with it pouring down rain. The grip was way better than I thought it would be in the rain on tires with 0 miles. No issues at all.
Way Hey! You got yer ride, awesome. All the colours are good, everyone's always going to have their own preference. I like the green, not so much the large 400 and too much striping IMO.
Good to hear those OEM tyres are sticky too. What sort of riding do you intend to do with your bike? Commuter or weekend blaster or both?
I agree about the large 400 text. With the overkill on the graphics, it makes the tank stand out too much I think. We've had nothing but rain and high winds since tuesday, so no more outings yet!
Currently I commute regularly on my DRZ and muck about down at the local river most weekends, and the plan for the ninja.. will depend on on the wife! -as it's her bike. But yeah it will get used as a commuter and weekend blaster as well as some short range touring 2-up me thinks.
I hope yours arrives soon, it's a smooth, nimble and well planted ride.
I was able to pickup the Ninja after the snow melted today, the dealer was very helpful loading it up on my bike carrier and the wife helped unload it. Glad to have the new edition home, has 0 miles on it presently. I have to wait until all the paperwork is received (MSO or MCO) and registered. A policeman lives 1 block from me ....

Always nice to receive a bike with 0 miles on it and know that the apprentice mechanic hasn't been out around town on it 'seeing what it can do' :smile_big:
Topaz, I will have to agree with you and I have a green Ninja 250, just wanted the yellow Ninja this time. I had my choice as they were both the same price at my dealer ($5499), I don't really like the large 400 on the side of the krt model. I may eventually paint my bike all solar yellow or opt for an aftermarket set of custom colored plastics. Not trying to stir up anything, just to each his own.
My first Kawi was yellow, my 2006 ninja 250 was yellow, as well as 2 of my ninja 250 bikes I presently have. I understand they make the Kawasaki green with 9 parts yellow and 1 part blue paint (*from youtube's " the history of Kawasaki").
Went for a ride this morning. This is basically downtown Kingwood Texas. Usually it’s full of people, but it’s a ghost town at the moment. I was able to ride up the sidewalk to get a pic. Selfies are hard with a helmet on. 😎✌️

Just installed the Kawasaki windscreen for the Z400 gave it I think 3” difference. Doesn’t look bad either. Definitely felt a difference riding on the freeways. Not sure what else I’m going to do to her. I live in California so mods are hard already to come by.
Had a shop try to mimic the gray and green paint scheme except with blue on my black bike. Think it turned out pretty good.
Going to put blue rim tape on the wheels and replace the white Kawasaki with a gray logo.
