Kawasaki has revealed the new Ninja 400, going on sale September 5 for ¥814,000 (tax included). It pairs a 398cc parallel-twin engine with an assist-and-slipper clutch and lightweight trellis frame, with a 310mm semi-floating front disc. It comes in a single Metallic Carbon Gray x Ebony colorway.

Looking at the spec sheet, pairing a 310mm semi-floating disc with an assist-and-slipper clutch is a real treat at this price point. Compared with the outgoing model, the chassis hardware just got a lot more serious. This is the part I love — a strong pick for a first bike at ¥814,000.

Owned the old Ninja 400 — this reads like a solid, honest update.

A trellis-frame Ninja looks way too good.

Curious how it stacks up against the CBR400R.

¥810k feels steep for a 400, but the spec sheet explains it.

A 310mm semi-floating disc is spec you'd expect from a class above.

Reassuring to see this much spec on a possible first bike.
