Still a kid's bike?
The Ninja 400 is still a physically small motorcycle, and it's
gotten a little smaller since the 300 in that the handlebars
are now 15mm closer to the rider. This can make the ride a
touch cramped if you're over six feet tall, but the discomfort
is minimal. You sit in this chassis rather than on it, with the
way your legs fold into the tank and the deep dish seat put-
ting you in a position that's both comfortable for long days
in the saddle as well as track day sending.
The suspension gracing the 400 is basic, with unad-
justable forks the same diameter at 41mm as the ZX-6R
