Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja 400 2023

The Ninja 400 offers a lot of riding fun at a manageable price. It offers playful handling without being nervous. The name "Ninja" is a bit of a mouthful, but the range of use is wider than you might think. It rides sportily, but also offers a good riding position for everyday use and touring.

Good combination of stability and playful handling

Robust and reliable appearance

Well controllable engine

Wide usable rev range

Pleasant seating position

Limited space for large pilots

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2021

A sports tourer of the old school. The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX fulfils all the points you would expect from this bike category. Added to this is a comprehensive electronics package that offers everything you could wish for when travelling - and at no extra charge! The fact that the operation is perhaps not quite as intuitive as the competition already manages, is forgiven at the latest when you take a look at the price tag.

silky four-cylinder

comfortable yet sporty ergonomics

wind protection

standard electronics package

very accessible.

Engine needs revs
