- Enjoy :)
Q&A: These are my own questions and answers because reasons.
Is a Ninja 400 too fast for the streets? - No.
Should I be riding like this? - No, I would not recommend mimicking this.
What do I preach? - WEAR YOUR GEAR. (Ie. Boots, Gauntlet Gloves, Back Protector/Airbag System, Quality Helemet, and a 1 or 2 piece leather suit)

I like that u slowed down behind a car and waited for a safer, straight part of the road to overtake him instead of just going straight past him
Yeah i try* to pass in only the straight. I won't pass a car if I cannot see what is coming ahead. I'm not taking that risk.
Why do you have to comment the obvious? I don't even get it
why are you heated?
Convinced me of keeping my ninja400 and improving my skills. Sweet turns bro
Didn’t need much convincing for me lol I hopped on a few other bikes and it was all I needed to know that I should keep my 400. It’s way more fun and better going full throttle in 2nd and going the speed limit than being on a 1000 and going 60mph at 2k revs in 1st gear 😭💀
@@ravindecavalier2912 does going full throttle 9k+ hurt the engine? I have 1100 miles on my 2023 ninja 400
probably
@@ShortGuyMoto have you had any issues because of being at really high rpms like this video
I wouldn't worry about it
Just shows a ninja 400 is all you need for sport riding on the street. I have been riding over a decade and have a street triple 765rs, but this guy would smoke me.
I am so far from being able to use all of my bikes capabilities despite doing ride schools and many track days
that triple must be a blast tho
@@CutTheKam it is a beautiful machine to ride. I feel very fortunate to have it. I have been riding street triples since 2012, they are amazing bikes.
@James B thinking about getting one to daily and track :) whats your favorite thing about it?
@@CutTheKam I bought a 2012 street triple R brand new, it got nicked in 2019, that’s when I got my 765rs. Gearing on the 765 is a little long so I put a small sproket in the front and now it’s perfect.
The bike is great cause it has razor sharp steering, awesome brakes and suspension and that 3 cyc engine is beautiful. It’s a very easy bike to ride
You have some great roads to practice.
Agreed. Though this is all filmed on the same road/hwy
I feel like I'm watching that Tom Cruz movie " the tires will hold, trust me they will hold".
I knew I couldn't out ride my tires in turns, but I didn't think they could do this much. Going posted limit of 65 in a 35 turn is as far as I've pushed it.
Man ....I have a lot to learn but I'm just overall excited to learn more on my ninja 400
Hey I just can't find any TH-camrs who ride like you do. You're so intense. Please upload more
I upload more on my Instagram stories tbh. I'll be uploading TH-cam videos next week that cover AFM's round 1 at Buttonwillow. Haven't ridden the street in a while either.
@@ShortGuyMoto both your track and Street videos are awesome. Tbh it's a bit risky riding like this in the streets lol so I would totally understand if you didn't. What's your Instagram? It's not in the video description.
Instagram is Shortguymoto
Yo you really showing the potential in the 400nin. Sweet riding 🏍️🏍️🏍️
I try
Damn you’ve got that bike literally sideways. My leans are nowhere near this
Wish I had roads like this where I’m at
Wow! So this is what my 400 can do?? I want to practice but too nervous to do it on the road.
This was nothing short of amazing, incredible riding skills my bro you really know how to rip it
Thank you!!
I'm honestly just learning/making mistakes like every one else. Just part of the process!
@@ShortGuyMoto most defintely! You really put that 400 to the test and do a great job! It's a perfect example of why you don't always need a bigger bike! Keep it up and ride safe mg friend!
Bigger Bike usually means you have to dish out more money for parts, insurance, tires, brake pads etc. So that's another reason to keep it lol
@@ShortGuyMoto don't blame you hahaha! Ive got a 22 grom currently and it's fun little thing, silly cheap but I think 2nd bike will be a ninja 400, perfect amount of power to start off with
@@ReeceCoza honestly I would look at a z400. Same bike and performance just a bit more comfortable seating position.
Nice riding brother🎉 wish I can see your riding body position
Instagram: alexs_george
Your use of down shifts and engine braking is superb.
thanks man!
Nice riding my guy, pushing that 400, these small cc bikes are so much fun when pushed to limits like this cuz you get to go "slow" and hit the Twisties real good. I miss my small cc bike.
Holy crap those are some skills. As promised, I will not be attempting this level of riding just yet lmaoo
lol I wouldn't recommend it. This kind of riding is risky on the street 😬
This is literally insane! How many runs have you had on this stretch of road to know it like this? I have an MT09 and run the same road every weekend but I feel like the stock rearsets are holding me back. This is pure skill, ignore the hate.
I've been coming up here for a few years 😅. But I know ever corner on highway 9 from downtown Saratoga to Boulder Creek so I know what's coming next. Rear sets are a nice upgrade if it makes you feel more comfortable.
Nice. I’ve had bigger faster bikes but as I’ve gotten older (now late 30s) I’m finding this is where it’s at- lighter, smaller bikes.
In hindsight I should have kept my bikes like that instead of always wanting to go bigger and more powerful.
Love smaller bikes
No matter how good the skills one error can cause a horrible accident. Be careful. It's always better to do this stuff on tracks where random animals, cars, and etc. can't dart out in front of you and end you.
No shit! I'm very aware of that. Getting more track time in later this year.
In the '80s, a Honda CB400 Hawk rider was the fastest of all up on Angeles Crest. It was the perfect tool for that road.
ACH is liter bike territory now
Exhaust?…. Sounds amazing…. Even better riding!
Stock exhaust. Appreciate it!
Damn! Guess I need to start trusting my Ninja 400 a bit more. Well it would also help if I learned how to ride I guess. I need a track day 😢
All in good time. Just carve out time to practice
I could not trust the road enough to lean that far at 100mph lmao. I would need to know every dang inch of that road to even consider it
definitely risky 😬
it crazy because there isn't a steering stabilizer on her
Ninja400 gang wya?
Mans definitely doesn’t have chicken strips on his tires….
you can ride for sure. but be careful man
Will do!
Safety for one self first!
3rd gear hitting 76. Jesus. Is this completely stock? Impressive riding, I will be there one day.
pretty much stock, yup
Love this bike, only time i wish i had another gear was on the highway.
The bike is no fun on the highway
That was mad impressive
Thanks Butters
Just pre-ordered a 2022 R3 as my first bike. After watching you own the road maybe I should just switch it to a 2022 Ninja 400 lol. Or wait to upgrade to it. Thoughts?
Both bikes are very similar, so either choice is a good one. I prefer the ninja since it is a tad bigger. I would say look at a mt03/z400 as well.
Nice! Enjoyed watching! ✌️
You got mad skills. Love it
I can't yes I can't ride it below 110 ...
I can't ride slow ..that's my problem
How can he lean the bike so much and the camera so little?
Also amazing confidence you have in your tires, I would have sworn that you were going down at 1:00.
Appreciate it, going down happens when you're pushing the bike. Didn't happen here thank god lol
i didn't know tha bike could do 70 in 3rd. how do i know when to shift up? i always shift to the next gear between 6-7rpm
I mean it depends on how you're riding and where you're riding :) commuting I usually do 5-6 maybe 7 k twisties..run those rpms up :)
You'll be able to tell the revs by the sound with time. If you're riding bike to the limits, you should shift almost at redline. If it's a calm ride or commute, 6-7k is perfect for this bike, less stress on the engine.
I shift when the bike screams at me
@@ShortGuyMoto Lol the horn rattling at redline
Insane lean, why the highbeams though?
my road
man I never hit 60 mph on 3rd gear … does it help with cornering when going 60 mph in 3rd gear rather than 5th or 6th gear?
I mean the bike can hit 60mph in 2nd gear I am pretty sure.
awesome run
Can you tell me which tyres are you using bro? Amazing skills !!
Thanks! I believe I was using Dunlop Q3+'s around this time.
how did you mount your Cam? Great riding btw!
I use the force
When some people think a 400cc you can go fast...im sure he can follow some 600cc and +
Yea I can keep up with the majority of 1000cc riders, just depends on the road, riders, and conditions.
Amazing skills, love the curves!! May I ask how you mounted the camera on the bike? I really like the view and want to do the same thing
Front of the gas tank, with a 3" extension facing the top of the tripple tree. Very easy to set up.
Thankss!
I love your riding!! What tires are you running and what size?
Pirelli SuperCorsa F:110/70 R:140/70 is what I recommend for riding like this. A solid 2nd choice is the dunlop Q5.
Great videos! Question is your bike stock ergos and if so how tall are you?
I have an eurgo seat and stock rear sets and handle bars. I'm 5'4 on a good day 😅
@@ShortGuyMoto Same LMAO I just got my Ninja 400 2 weeks ago and I envy the amazing roads you have hope to see more videos stay safe.
I’m 6’1 planning on grabbing a Ninja 400 or 650 am I too tall for a Ninja 400?
Nah your fine. I see tall guys on these as well
Did you scope the road out for sand/ loose gravel before this run?
I made a run or two up and down before.
Don’t you feel bad beating the lil thing so hard in the rpm’s? I do 😰
No, the bike is fine
What kind of tires are you runnin for that badass grip?
Dunlop Q3+ or Pirelli SC TD V3 🤙
Thank you
Get fast on a slow bike. Best way to learn to manage corner speed and grip. I have a zx10r but I also have a cbr250rr to keep me honest.
I like both of those 👍
I should have started with the ninja 400
possibly
Leave it for the track, my guy.
I am lols
Stock performance? Or some upgrades
Minor mods - engine is stock
Changed sprockets?
I don't remember to be honest
What tires do you have?
Dunlop Q3+
DONT FUCK UP DONT FUCK UP DONT FUCK UP
my R3 tops out at 103 because i'm fat :-(
better than 102
Get that guy off the road. He’s a threat to others
🥸
Nice! What’s your camera set up?
Gopro hero 9
@@ShortGuyMoto what mount set up are you using I mean?
Just a gopro mount on the edge of my gas tank.
@@ShortGuyMoto seems like you’re using a gimble with it?
@@RockStarrESPTV No. Just using the gopro hero 9 max lens mod
With that skill, you must own a bigger cc motorcycle.
Not necessarily. I did own a 2014 Zx6r for 2 years, but I also had a ninja 300 at the same time :)
@@ShortGuyMoto I’m more impressed. I owned a 400 abs there’s no way I would try to do what you do. Keep making these videos and stay safe!
Good bit of riding but careful with your life expectancy riding like that bro. BTW I used to ride a 650R when they came out and people crack on that engine but I actually loved it. Showing a bit too much upper body here but a fun set of curves in Boston
th-cam.com/video/IUb329F__lg/w-d-xo.html
And I loved the sound of it (which you can hear in your video they sound the same), the torque curve, everything. Suspension was kinda lame though.
Yeah the 650r engine is kinda a dud but can get the job done in the right hands 👍.
I've been riding only track for the past 6 months. Only ride the Yamaha Vino Scooter on the street right now. 😅 Tops out at like 40mph on the downhill.
@@ShortGuyMoto Yah I keep waiting to see what Kwack does with the 650 engine but they seem content to just let it ride so to speak. I figured a crossplane crank by now or something. I have a Tiger800, Duc 1000 Multi S, DT250 and KDX220 (which is about to go bye-bye because of endless months of unemployment owing to the Plandemic)
Kawasaki isn't going to change that engine.
Two things:
1. Those high revs would drive me insane.
2. Is this guy still alive?
High revs = fun zone
@@ShortGuyMoto Constant high revs = worn out motorcycle and risked lives, and not just your own life. If you're going to be stupid, you better be tough, cause when you've ripped an arm or leg off, you're going to need a lot of tough to go with all that stupid.
Love ya too 🥰
@@ShortGuyMoto Do you love me enough to do that stuff on a closed course instead of risking my life on the road,...or the lives of my children?
Do you live on these roads?
Was this ECU tuned?
Nope
Bro what tires r you using
Pirelli SCs
@@ShortGuyMoto sweet. I seen your post on the FB page ninjas and subbed. Thanks
where is this road? looks very fun
Santa Cruz Mountains
@@ShortGuyMoto holy wow...no wonder it looks familiar to 9

Fuckin insane Bro!
Thanks
Keeps up with faster bikes and drag races
Won't keep up w/ the bigger bikes on straight aways and uphill's
Is it inline 4
Parallel twin
I love my ninja 400
Mine hates me
👍
🤙
Mph or Kmph ?

Does it really matter ? He or She is riding the rippin that little 400. Don't get mad at the 4 wheelers when You ride that way on the street though.....peace
i find your riding highly irresponsible......................go faster!
😂😂😂
Watch out for deer buddy.
Really though. Seeing this makes me so nervous lol
@@swiftripper7557 my friend recently hit a deer at 70. Be 😎
Deer would hear that screaming ninja miles away and run away from it as far as he can.
@@user-mb4xy2cz3t you must not be around deer very often. They are stupid and will wonder out infront of any vehicle not matter sound or size
FYI - I had have seen deer up here and I had a close call with one a couple years ago.
It is kmh!
Mph
70mph in 3rd gear
Pretty sure it can do 60 in 2nd gear
It can do 60+ in 2nd gear and 3rd can go 70+.
It can top out at a 126mph.
@@ShortGuyMoto im not sure about that one… not with stock sprockets anyway. Mine tops out in 6th at 115mph, though mines a UK model, I think the Japanese model has like 3 more horsepower
@@akizuki2971 could be, try topping it out downhill lol
ATGAT and full leather won't save you when you crash out riding like this. Don't race on public roads FFS.
Exactly! Don't race on road. Idiots
Hahaa fake ,the video playback speed is not the original , the video is playing faster. 💩
Your a clown 🤡. Video isn't playing back faster. The only edit to this mp4 file was trimming the video length. So this is raw footage l
You can literally just watch his speedo to know how fast he’s going lol… do you even ride?
