The Ninja 400's low-to-mid torque tuning is just right for someone hitting a track for the first time. A parallel-twin that telegraphs throttle input honestly through your fingertips isn't a bad thing to practice on either. Watching this scene for years, plenty of young riders genuinely start racing from this exact class.

¥726,000 might be doable with a bonus

Standard assist-and-slipper clutch on a Ninja 250 is impressive

More standard kit or not, it's just getting pricier overall
