Description
Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400.
Introduced in 2018, the Ninja 400 was a gigantic step forward from the Ninja 300. It was more powerful and yet it was lighter, and it instantly became a popular platform for riders who wanted to hit the track.
Rider Magazine said this of the bike “on paper, the Ninja 400 is a rock star in its class. Kawasaki claims an output of 44.8 horsepower and 28 lb-ft of torque, which is on par with the racy KTM RC 390 and should handily best any of the Japanese 300s.”
“Despite the increased engine displacement, the Ninja 400 weighs in at a svelte 362 pounds (claimed, wet; the ABS model adds 4 pounds). That’s more than 17 pounds lighter than the Ninja 300, 9 pounds less than the Yamaha R3, and about the same as the single-cylinder CBR300R. Only the KTM RC 390 (also a single) tips the scales with less weight.”
This example is VIN: JKAEXKG14JDA06418. The seller states “My son used to live in West Hollywood and had this bike there. Two years ago he relocated to London and the bike has been in storage since then. He had planned to have the bike shipped to the UK but has decided to sell it instead.”
The odometer shows 16,412 miles.
