2019 KAWASAKI Z400 ABS
FIRST REVIEW
P94
easy for most riders out there.
With no traction control and un-adjust-
able ABS, the Z is very much an analog
bike. And all the better for it. With nothing
to worry about except the ride, the Z400
is an excellent machine for new riders to
get acquainted with the dynamics and behavior of
a motorcycle. It's a tough-looking little bike, exud-
ing the same attitude the Z900 is renowned for.
Kawasaki calls this "Sugomi." Like a crouching
animal waiting to attack. I think it looks
cool.
The Z400 is a brilliant little bike but
seeing as Kawasaki already had the
Ninja 400—which we love—this should
come as no great surprise. It's mostly the
same bike, but fills a massive hole in Kawasaki's
line-up and might spur fellow Japanese marques
Yamaha and Suzuki into developing naked versions
of their junior sport bikes. CN
This will be an
excellent machine
for anyone looking
to get into riding on
something with a
little attitude to it.
