Hey everyone,
I just bought my first Kawasaki after 27 years of riding. I've had everything from Honda Elite scooters in the late 80's to a CBR600 F3 and F4, and a BMW G650 XCountry that I just sold.
Yesterday I bought a new Ninja 400R, it seems like the perfect bike for my commute to work, easy on gas, good on the highway, and will be able to more than keep up with my friends on their adventure bikes and cruisers.
I pick it up on Tuesday, and will post a full review after a I get in a few days of riding.
Why didn't I get a 650? Well it was an extra $1200, plus I'm saving on my insurance with the 400, and I really don't think I need a 650. The 400R has almost the same horsepower as my BMW, and that was plenty. I don't need arm pulling acceleration anymore. I've also always been a fan of 400's. In high school I used to drool over RZ350's and NS400R's, so a nice 400 has been on the radar for a lot of years.
Anyway here it is..........
