  • The 2023 Kawasaki Z400 and Z650 are two bikes that newer riders love, but few videos show what the real differences are between these bikes, and explain how those differences make for different riding experiences. That's what I show you in this video! Want to see these bikes in person? Connect with the amazing team at Jim Gilbert's PowerSports here: powersports.wheelsanddeals.ca...

    This is exactly what I was looking for as I am hesitant on which Z to get, details and explanation newbie-rider friendly, thank you 🙏🏾 given my many circumstances I got to consider, I guess the 400 will do 😊

    I was totally sold on the Z400, but I ran into an unexpected issue: the front ferring where your leg goes isn't totally smooth, part of it juts out. I'm 6'3" and while riding I can get my leg in the right spot, but any attempt to shift gears brings my leg up and right into the ferring. Completely unrideable. This isn't the case on the 650, or on the Ninja.

    BRO, Just now saw your videos, the Piaggio 3-wheel bike. Very interesting, as I always wanted something more than the standard motorcycle/scooter. And the Can-Ams and the Harleys are cost prohibitive for the shorter ride season here in northern Minnesota. Please keep updating as you can about these nifty 3-wheel machines. Subscribed to your Channel with that hope! THANK YOU!

    dang if the new model Z400 has updated TFT display and Hazard lights I might consider buying the Z400

  • @4kWalkingandDrivingTours

    Great thorough review, thanks!! 👍🏼😎😀

    Nice content as always, I hope you also make comparisons for z650 and the versys650. Thank you

    Hi, very nice video! I have a Z400, which was an upgrade from my Yamaha Fazer 250 (here in Brazil motorcycles are quite expensive, and we most commonly see 150 and 160cc bikes, so anything beyond 250cc is no longer considered "entry level" hehe) and I'm considering to take another step up. Thanks for comparing these two zeds, I'm thinking if I should get another Z or maybe a Vulcan S, which I briefly rode once, but I also keep wondering about a Trident 660, a Honda CB650R or even coming back to Yamaha and going for MT-07...

  • @kicinder

    Excelent review, thx.

  • @lattebean66

    The Z400 in this video has a WAAAAAY BETTER color than the one released in my country. Really not a fan of a very prominent Green color compared to this one. The white one with some red strips can't compare here either

    I totaled my zx14 6 years ago and recently got back into riding and bought the z400. While the power is nowhere close it is still a very fun bike. If you are not afraid to let it scream you will go fast and the handling is effortless compared to larger bikes. Insurance is laughable for full coverage. Will it be my long-term bike...........hell no but for now it will do. If you think it's too slow for daily commuting, then you are driving too fast or are too lazy to shift through gears which is what you will be doing a lot of always trying to stay in the torque band.

    Nice job .well done.

  • @rayl9335

    Great video. Thanks! Just picked up a very low mileage 2021 Z400. I cannot locate specs regarding stator/charging output. I want to add aux lights and know this would be great. Any thoughts?

  • @paulf2534

    Great video. I have a 2023 Green Z400 and am very happy with it. Absolutely great around the city due to how light and flickable it is but I also do a lot of freeway and country area trips and it handles on the freeway surprisingly good. I thought because it was light it wouldn't handle any wind but it does the job well. I also upgraded the front sprocket by 1 tooth which helps. Cheers from Australia.

    Liked and Subbed because this is by FAR the absolute best comparison guy to turn to imo anyhow. Exactly what i was looking for, not having a dealer with both bikes closer to where I live. The worst thing looking at the Z400 (as is the case with the CB500F/R's and the likes is that goddamn ugly exhaust Can!

  • @samuelwarkentin5343

    I love my z650

  • @themanrightbehindyou

    I learned on a ninja 250 and an old 92 ninja 500. Both of these look like good upgrades from what i used to have. I think the 650 might be better for me because of the tech and power. I love the playful attitude of the smaller bikes not sure if the 650 gives up too much of that.

    peter i have one more question for a 2023 z650 i was looking at videos on how to adjust the chain on mine and this guy is saying you only need to have the bike on the kickstand for all adjustments. I would think youd have to lift the rear wheel off the ground so the axel can slide back but am i wrong?

  • @beingsolo80

    Z400 is a better buy. Even after you outgrow it, it's a great second bike for city dashes.
