Kawasaki Z400 ABS '19 Taste Test

The budget-middleweight naked motorcycle (300cc too low-500cc) market is really getting fiercer by the day!

It also comes on all fronts too! With Ducati Scrambler SixtyTwo 400, KTM 390 Duke, Harley's Street 500, CF Moto 400NK, Honda's CB400SF & CB500F, Bajaj Dominar 400, Loncin LX300-6 CR6, Zongshen's Cyclone RE3 400, BMW 310 R, Voge YF300 300R, TVS Apache Bristol Classic 400i, Benelli's TNT300, 302S, & Leoncino 500, & Husqvarna Vitpilen 401. It's getting really crowded here!

I've been waiting to get an opportunity like this ever since I've 'Taste Tested' the Ninja 400! That Ninja-4 was impressive, I always imagined how will the Z400 ride like!? And it's finally here! I simply can't wait!!!

I even begged Kawasaki USA to take this last ride for the day! And here we are now! What would I think of it? Is it a squared-on rival to the KTM Duke 390? Much different is the riding experience compared to the Ninja 400? We're about to find out!!

Aside from different skin colors, the 2020 model year Z400 ABS and this 2019 model are exactly the same.

US MSRP = US$4,999 (+taxes & fees)
PH SRP = PHP279,000 (+regs & fees)
