Kawasaki Z400 – Street Born “Z” Inspired
The Kawasaki Z400 uses a 399cc twin cylinder engine that packs a punch of 45bhp. Using a new down draft intake which is accompanied by a larger airbox offers increased intake efficiency.
The new Z400 uses an Assist & Slipper clutch. This requires much less pressure at the lever making city riding a much easier experience also giving a lot more control on the down change preventing the possibility of the rear wheel locking up.
The Z400 offers considerable weight savings over the outgoing Z300 thanks to its new chassis, suspension and engine, which is 1kg lighter than the Z250. These components also offer improved stability and manoeuvrability.
With the latest ABS unit from Nissin, clamping down on a 290 mm semi-floating disc, the Z400 will stop as well as it goes.
Seat height of just 786mm makes the Kawasaki Z400 very accessible to most riders there is also an ErGO-FIT higher seat (+30mm) for the taller rider.
LED headlights clearly light up the path of the Z400 whilst adding to the very modern look of this lightweight superbike. The speedo assembly is taken from the Z400’s big brother the Z650.
The Z400 is also fitted with a 14-litre fuel tank that is capable of offering over 200 miles of range.
The styling of the Kawasaki Z400 is undeniably “Z”, with aggressive looking headlight and bikini fairing and minimalist rear seat unit. The bike shares so many of its looks with the Z1000. Extra “volume” has been designed into the bodywork to give this lightweight machine the presence of one much larger.
The big bike looks make this a really credible step into the Kawasaki brand. The handling and performance of the Kawasaki Z400 will keep you interested for years to come.
