Could this be the best 400cc sports bike on the market so far? Man it looks good in green.

This review made me laugh. I love tiny multi cylinder bikes, they were popular back in the day (before your dad was born), it's great that the Japanese are (sort of) keeping the tradition alive. If i had a spare 8.7k I'd get one of these today. I'm with you on the track day bike thought, you could probably have amazing fun on one of these on the right track. Excellent review (& riding). 👍

Glad you enjoyed the video all round mate. Was a good bike to ride. Sometimes you forget how much fun you can have on a smaller cc bike. Not always about big numbers. 🤙

Great review Matt. If you are ever in the Bournemouth area pop into Moordown Kawasaki. They have a great cafe as well. I guess the price point of the bike reflects the quality of the build but it’s pushing it for a 400cc. A gorgeous looking bike though.

@DSR1YT 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the tip David. I’ll add it to my list of places to visit. Too expensive to get the young riders interested IMO sadly. So it’s down to us old timers to start buying it up 😁. Good looking indeed mate. 🤙

Great bike, just got the 2024 in black and love the color. The US version is neutered for some stupid reason so its only producing around 55 hp but when fixed it should be near 80 or so and then it will be a giant killer in experienced hands. Only real gripes are the weight 415 lbs is porky and the watered down US version, looking past that its one of the most fun bikes you will ever ride!😎

How I look at this bike is that it's not just another 400c bike that it is the top tier of lower cc bikes. It's getting old quick that you gotta gave a 600 or a 1000cc bike or you are wasting your time maybe its cause I'm getting older and for my 40th birthday I'm finally getting a bike and surprising I always thought it was gonna be a harley well now that I learned bout sport bikes and how you have more control over bike then bike over rider that I will be happy with a small cc bike where you can still have fun but it not be at the cost of your life or freedom I say alot I wish US will adapt the license program Europe has

@nickclarkuk 5 ай бұрын

Great review! This bike looks so much fun! I want to hear a bike howl and have to work through the gears at legal speeds ; 77bhp is perfect. I am similar in dimensions and weight to you so I value your opinion more than most reviewers in their slim leathers!

@DSR1YT 5 ай бұрын

haha slim leathers, ive never owned any of them :). I know what you mean with regards to that feeling of getting the most out of your bike/engine/gears. This delivers in spades for that

@nickclarkuk 5 ай бұрын

@@DSR1YT I’ve never owned leathers and certainly nothing slim either ! Btw , I did an insurance quote for one of these and was shocked to see £1000-£1100/yr for 10k miles. Kept in a garage and 6 years no claims , 45 year old rider with no points. My 2015 CB500F is £140/yr 🤣. This must be about how likely it is to be stolen as a new sports bike .

@DSR1YT 5 ай бұрын

@nickclarkuk Jesus. That’s expensive. Probably mate yeah. They may just assume it’s going to be more newer riders on these so whack a premium on it as well. Who knows with these insurance companies. They’re all scam artists.

Great review Matt! Seriously considering one of these. Just trying to gauge whether it's an everyday bike or not?

good review mate.i like this bike,it looks fun. However,imo i think its too heavy and too expensive.and if i were looking at track days,i would smoke that on an rgv250 or maybe the original zxr400 which is 30kgs lighter.they should have done the retro colour scheme aswell,because lets be honest,they are aiming at people like me mainly who feel nostalgic about the good old days.when manufacturers didnt have to cater for the rider who has no riding sense.
