For anyone wondering if they’re too short to ride? I’m 4’10” with a 26” inseam, and I ride a lowered Ninja 300 (28” seat height). Although I can only tip toe on one side, can’t kick the kick stand up/down when I’m sitting on the bike, and impossible to “walk” the bike when I’m on it, but that didn’t stop me, so I’m sure you guys can ride too!!!

I’m 6 foot, 200 pounds, and first time rider. I purchased a brand new 2022 400 because I got on an R6 with no abs and it was too steep a learning curb. It’s gorgeous and even people who only ride supers say have given compliments. It’s perfect for city riding and can go 120 mph

I’m 5’5 and 140pounds and I’m not flat footed but not on my tippy toes either. I absolutely love it!

7:30 He totally won me over right there.

The only problem with trying one at a local dealer: dealers don’t have any in stock.

My first bike was a Ninja 300 and being I'm 6'2" and 250 lbs, people always gave me their opinion on if I was too big for it. I really enjoyed the bike and I didn't feel to big. Overall, most of the sport type bike are similar in size and if you're north of the 6 foot or 182 cm mark, people will say you look "too big" for the bike. It shouldn't matter if someone else thinks you're too big or not as the only thing that does is how well do you fit it, are you comfortable, and can you operate it safely.

Awesome content mate, I'm pretty much bang on 6ft and it seems perfect. I didn't have a chance to test ride before I bought it as I got it just before I got my license. I searched for ages trying to find if it would be too small and there wasn't much info out there. You nailed it in this video. Thanks from NZ :)

I sat on one this past weekend. Being 6'3" 215 lbs, it felt like one of those mechanical horses in front of supermarkets in the 70's, lol.

[jrkangta]

You're dad looks badass with those tats in a Ninja 400.

[Clove_Parma]

I'm 5'6/5'7 and I can comfortably stand with the balls of each food solidly on the ground, and can flatfoot the left at standstill without an issue. Definitely very accessible even if you aren't a tall person. (Edited: misspoke before. Went out for a ride and realised I am a little shorter than I thought lol)

[tempernova]

im 6'2 and this is very helpful for us long folks.

There are lowering kits available for this bike. They should be installed by a professional, because lowering any bike effects it's suspension operation. Plus I would only use it to gain confidence in your ability on the bike. Then as you gain experience, return it to stock height.

[juif]

Im 158cm, I have a stock non lowered ninja 400 2019. I can touch the ground with both feet flat no problem. No matter if the road is lopsided.

[skyrider]

This is absolutely most useful video in last 24 hours, searching for somebody with height 185cm sitting on Ninja 400

Thank you so much! You made my choice even easyer with this video, i was not sure if the Kawasaki Ninja 400 would be good for me but now there is no dought. Again, thank you, and the bloopers are very funny :]

[stukre]

[MrrNacho]

Im 1.78 and i weigh about 100kg so im on the chubby side of life and ive owned an R3 in the past and had no trouble with it at all and tomorrow im picking up a ninja400 and cant wait!

6'3", 205 lbs. I have a z400 which I have no issues with.

[Fogbrush]

Thanks for this excellent info, and for the pillion review video too. I'm considering the Z400 with the higher seat. I'm 6' but with long legs, but after watching your video I think it will be OK.
