GREETINGS COMRADES! Today I ride quite possibly the best starter bike on the market today.. or at least until the Yamaha MT-03 comes here to the United States of MURICA. anyways, thanks for your support and I’ll see you in the next vid!
I'm an experienced rider and this little bike looks like a lot of fun for anyone. The color scheme looks really good too. I wouldn't mind adding something like this to my garage. My Triumph Bonneville T100 could use a little buddy.
Just received a Z400 today after purchasing it last Wednesday. It’s my first bike ever. And it handles very nicely and the clutch is not difficult to hold in.
@@theprofessionaldillweed6235 I think he's just talking about the way you're faking the speech pattern. The way you over-emphasize things and draw them out, just seems unnecessary. Just talk normal my guy
I highly recommend getting a set of $25 mirror extensions for the z400 and maybe a slip on exhaust Other than that the Bike is fantastic I've had zero problems with mine
Absolutely hate the exhaust, drives me crazy every time I look at a new bike the first thing I do is calculate the cost of a full exhaust replacement in with the price
how would you compare the 400 vs the 300? a little more faster? im short like hella short so for m ei couldnt even flat foot, i had to be in tippy toes. i had a 250 and a 300. now i want something bigger. i had a cbr 600 awsome bike but way way too tall for me. that one i had to rock it leaning in on one foot. dont even get me started how hard it was backing up on it
I love the orange color. Visibility is always a plus for safety reason. However, for a smaller rider like me, the handle bar is so far away that my posture was not any more upright than on Ninja 400. If the handle bar was closer and angled, it would be super ergonomic.
Great little bike but we don’t see eye to eye on the colour lol I’d call it Georgia peach lol love your reviews bro keep up the great work and be safe! ✌🏻🇨🇦😉
@@AKlover no, def not. You gotta give her gas, but she will get there np. I almost got up to 100 on an empty highway but had to slow down because of the road being shitty.
@@bobzilla7507 An R3/Mt-03 is not an option neither is anything smaller than that. Definitely NOT buying A KTM and I can't tell from the numbers or have anyone explain a definitive reason why I should pay the $2K premium A CBR 500 commands over a Z400 here. So the Z400 is pretty much it.
I have had this same bike for 2 years. I’ve ridden every kink of bike in over 50 years of riding. I would not recommend this as a first bike. Too much power for an inexperienced rider. I do recommend it for everyone else. I think a used 250 for a year for a beginner. Then move up.
Does anyone who has ridden a z400 long term have opinions on first bike for females? I have quite a few female ride-alongs who want to take the next step and start riding by themselves. I figured my R6 is probably a bad idea for them.
the z 400 would be a great first bike because she could still keep up and not feel the need to upgrade until her skills do. If she has decent previous experience then the z650 would be good. It's 60 lbs heavier than the 400. After over 30 years of riding I sold my big heavy bikes and bought a z400 for commuting and it's a blast. The 400 would really help a beginner work on their skills because it allows people to learn without paying a painful price. The price is very attractive as well.
I’m 5’3 about 154 pds. I can flat foot the z400. I’m deciding between the z125 and z400. I’m not sure which one to get. I feel like the z125 is the little brother to the z400. What would you suggest? This is my first bike as well.
if you live down south where it hardly gets cold you can literally use this bike as your main mode of transportaiton. the z125 not so much. Z400 is versatile and i would get the z400 for sure.
Not just a starter bike. I've been riding all my life. I bought a new z400 5 months ago after researching RU-vid and figuring what I was going to buy for the course of 2 years as I rebuilt my credit. I can assure you after all of the research that I did to purchase the Kawasaki z400, I was not disappointed I am not disappointed, and I would rebuy that bike again tomorrow. Put a Leo vent slip exhaust on it. Lose about 7 lb, add about a horsepower, and make it sound pretty nice. And it will do anything and everything you need it to do.
Being a newer rider and owning one for a while, I'd say very much yes. The twin engine will help you not stall and the riding position keeps you comfy but still letting you tuck in for some spirited riding. That engine is a very sweet one as well.
For info, see the Rabid Hedgehog review of the Z400. This has been one of the least useful motorcycle reviews I have seen on RU-vid. The first fact (very easy clutch) comes at the 3:10 mark. Everything prior is useless filler. Not my style. Advice, you have about 10 seconds to engage the viewer, so don't waste the first 30 seconds on your branding. Won't be subscribing.
I have one and its a fun nimble little bike. I weigh 280lbs but it is still quick. Not the fastest but it is still fun. I would recommended getting the wind screen and improved seat if you are a taller rider. I think the smaller engine makes it more fun. you can crank the crap out of it with less risk of killing yourself.
I know I’m late lol but nobody has responded, it’s perfectly fine up steep hills. Depending on the gear sometimes I do have to drop a gear and get on it a little to maintain speed up steep hills but nothing unmanageable. Super fun bike all around highly recommend
Starter bike starter bike,everyone says this garbage. I've ridden/owned everything from a zx6r all the way up to a zx14 and would seriously consider one of these. It's not always about going super fast. It's nice having to pay cheap insurance,get good mpg and still hop on the interstate for a cheap price.
@@Bikerbug2020 I do like the looks slightly better, but having owned a ninja 400 before I know the engine has more than enough for me to comfortably ride on the crazy Georgia interstates that usually have traffic running 85mph. I'm just a little hesitant to get a smaller engine and have to wind it out even harder. If it was a second bike, id get it in a heartbeat, but since it is only about $300 cheaper around me than the Z40p, it makes the choice that much more difficult.
@tashin32 hey what does it mean to wind it out even harder? I never owned a bike and I love the mt 03 Yamaha but only goes 100mp this orange one $400 more for 120+mp idk either
The one who ditches this bike for that shitty mt03 is really senseless person they go for overpriced shit which doesn't even afford the worth while this is worth every penny..
