Kawasaki Ninja 650 vs Ninja 400 | Best Beginner Ninja?

So, the Kawasaki Ninja 650 vs Ninja 400, which is our best beginner Ninja and how do these machines stack up in the real world?

The Ninja 400 is a beginner favourite, offering top performance in the 400 cc class with a competitive price, if on the basic side for electronics in this modern age, and is a capable track day weapon and everyday machine.

The Ninja 650 steps things up a notch with higher spec suspension, a TFT, traction control, better build quality and general features, while offering a big bike feel and sitting fairly in the 650 class as a relatively relaxed sportsbike.

Plenty of extra torque make the Ninja 650 a fun machine to ride, with a more mid-range orientated power delivery, to the Ninja 400s very revvy nature and gives a bit more of a refined throttle response.

The Ninja 400 of course offers the lightest clutch pull in the business, a much lighter bike, with handling to match and will likely remain the favourite of those on a strict budget between these two bikes...

MotoHub in Sydney were kind enough to lend me their demo Ninja 650L, so check them out if you're in Sydney and would like a test ride (they also carry Honda, Husqvarna and Suzuki!):
