398cc parallel twin engine produces an exhilarating acceleration feeling

The Ninja 400 is Kawasaki’s high-performance sports model in the mid-class. Its greatest appeal is the punch delivered by its 398cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke, parallel twin engine. The unique characteristics of a parallel twin engine produce powerful torque from low to mid-speed ranges. Experience exhilarating acceleration that expands the possibilities of “fun to ride.”

The compact engine is mounted on a lightweight trellis frame, achieving excellent maneuverability. It is designed to be highly versatile in a wide range of situations, from everyday touring to sports riding.

Fully equipped suspension and stylish exterior

It also comes with a full complement of features to support its dynamic performance. It uses a large 41mm diameter front fork, which provides both a solid sense of rigidity and excellent handling stability. Radial tires are also fitted to further improve cornering performance.

On the exterior, the LED headlight unit creates a sharp look, and the anodized fork caps complete the stylish and powerful bodywork.

Upright position for maximum comfort

The riding position is upright, making it less tiring even on long-distance tours. At the same time, it offers excellent control during sporty riding, making it versatile enough to handle a variety of riding situations.

The Ninja 400’s greatest appeal lies in its design philosophy, which pursues riding excitement while achieving high versatility and comfort.

The 2026 model will have two new colors.
