I ride a zx10r these days. I miss my old 400 and will get another one. I don't always need 225 hp. Actually I never need it. It takes experience to appreciate a 400 on the street. Actually pinning the throttle and shifting through all gears is just beautiful.
A dude at work I was talking to about motorcycles just died in a crash Monday. That last thing he told me was, "As a beginner you should start on a 300 but if you start on a 600 take it slow." He was a quiet but cool person. I'm definitely starting on a ninja 400 but hearing about what happen makes me think more about it.
i lost a friend in an accident a few months ago. Ive lost quite a few people since ive started riding. Big tip is dont speed and dont do dumb shit, thats what kills you. Yeah other people make mistakes but everyone ive known thats died so far has been them doing dumb shit running from the cops or doing 150+ down the freeway. Be careful and you should be good.
great video fam, it was both entertaining and educational. im a new rider and getting my 400 in the next few days so the "lube chain every 3-4 days / change oil every 3000 miles" stuff helps, i jotted that down. ofc ill still test my luck by going 125 for half an hour down some highway some day in the future but it's good to know it can fk your engine up.
I just purchased a 400. I'm 5'9 I fit perfectly on the bike. It might be tight for you. Spikes Corner has a Ninja 400 video he's 6"2... it is a great bike, couldn't be happier.
if i was younger i think i would be laughing historically at this video… now as a middle aged man… with a teenage son… i’m always telling him to stop swearing…. this made me think of that…. i know i’m square… lol
I’m thinking of buying a used ninja 400 for my first bike any idea if that would be my best go, I was looking at 650s but it’s a bit of a money stretch any feedback is appreciated 👍
the 400 is definitely gonna be cheaper when it comes to insurance and gas. it really depends on what you want it for. for long distance cruising on the highway get the 650. but for a fun sporty bike definitely get the 400 as it’s more flickable in turns and a lot more rowdy and sporty of a bike. personally i’d go for the 400 just based off of that
I got excited about the ZX4RR for a second until I realized that it literally makes 3lb/ft less torque than the Ninja 400... And the torque + 80HP doesn't hit until 11,000 RPM... And it costs as much as a Honda CBR650R, which is a 650 inline-4 that makes 95HP and DOUBLE the torque.. So basically, you're paying double the money of a Ninja 400 for the nice sound and a technically faster bike... But it will feel slower than the Ninja 400 under most circumstances unless you are on the track. ... I think I'll pass. The 4cyl sound is not worth losing street rideability, spending double the money, and also the increased maintenance/insurance costs.
I absolutely adore your painfully honest vocabulary lol
haha i appreciate it

I’m laughing so hard at the gym rn on the treadmill everyone is looking 😭😭😭

Sorry about your friend - was he riding a 400 or 600?

I love your honesty, man! ♥ Respect, Drive Safe !!
Best Video so far 2023 Honesty is the Best Policy.
yessir another one dropping tomorrow!
This is the best video I have ever watched. You had me sobbing from laughter with your vocabulary and honesty. 10/10

You're back! Fuck yeah!
yesssir
me having the name Tristan, the beginning made me laugh my ass off, and i also wrecked my 400 right into the begining of ownership lmao
man you made every mistake possible with that bike in a very short period of time 😂😂
it happens...
Wish more would keep it real like you in this vid. Appreciate it. Was that outside Brandon FL near Tampa in the vid?
Appreciate it bro. This is in OKC
At least you know now how to take care of a bike. Trial and error. Thanks for the entertainment. You definitely made me laugh
gotta learn someway 🤷♂️ appreciate it always love making someone laugh
Loved the video bro, am 6.4 6.5 looking to get the ninja 400 as my first bike. Hope i can fit on it :)
Let me know how you fit the bike. Good luck and stay safe bro
@@middlefingermedia Will do, good luck with youtube bro, wish you the best

God most calm biker
This was a great review 🤣
U gotta use the rear brake cause u can squeeze harder with ur foot!!!
So basically you had no normal issues!? You wrecked so that’s not an indicator of ninja issues. Once you wreck it ain’t gonna be right again.
😂 You're hilarious, dawg. Thanks for helping.
appreciate it bro got another one coming tomorrow
A few weeks ago i bought a Kawasaki Ninja 🥷 ZX10R as my first ever motorcycle. No need to spend money on a bike you don't want.
fair enough if it works for you it works for you
It is if you truly want to learn how to ride…
Hillarious Man..... LMBO :)
I crashed my brand new 400 at 103 miles on my first “canyon” run 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 luckily the only real damage was to the brake pedal.
Thats a good way to damage your engine obviously
@@theunluckycharm9637 what is? Crashing?
LoL love this stuff. I just got a moto 450 SR after being a ninja owner. It’s a ninja muncher I must admit.
You could totally be yammis son or lil bro 😂
Edit: you caught me brown handed on the shitter haha
if i was younger i think i would be laughing historically at this video… now as a middle aged man… with a teenage son… i’m always telling him to stop swearing…. this made me think of that…. i know i’m square… lol
i think im in love

@@TwoCupTom 400 is more fun than the 650
How did u know I'm at work man?🤯
Accidents are they really the bikes fault.
My clutch just started fucking slipping it pisses me off
Mines in the shop now for that reason
Wow sounds like me
ZX4RR > Ninja 400?
vid on this soon

@@BahhJustaLamb for me it’s going to depend entirely on the sound. Can’t wait to hear this thing with a proper pipe.
Clutch sucks on these bikes
i havent experienced anything wrong with the clutch so far
Clutch had slippage issues pre 2020, but the 2020+ models had a revised clutch design so we should be fine
@@BahhJustaLamb mine started Fu*king up at 100 miles on my 2023
