Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja 400 2023

The Ninja 400 offers a lot of riding fun at a manageable price. It offers playful handling without being nervous. The name "Ninja" is a bit of a mouthful, but the range of use is wider than you might think. It rides sportily, but also offers a good riding position for everyday use and touring.

Good combination of stability and playful handling

Robust and reliable appearance

Well controllable engine

Wide usable rev range

Pleasant seating position

Limited space for large pilots

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2024

Judging the Kawasaki Ninja 650 purely on paper does not do justice to its potential. The engine is clearly not an engine bursting with power for the race track, but an agile but well-behaved journeyman. The sports tourer with supersport looks does exactly what it is supposed to do and presents itself as a real alternative in its class with its appropriate electronics package including traction control. Hobby racers should be warned, however, that the Ninja in the name still fuels a certain sporty expectation that a Ninja 650 cannot fully fulfil.

Fully suitable for touring

pleasantly comfortable

good safety package

very accessible

ergonomically versatile

typical Ninja look

Suspension and brakes only average

adjusting the rear suspension is a hassle
