Yeah it does look pretty good, the sharks nose front on the fairing is still growing on me though. I'm probably not going to wait for a test ride and just order one as I dont want to miss any more of the summer riding season than I have to.

I ordered one of these today through Winton Motorcycles in Southland.
New toy for 2'18 eh, gotta be good.
Also ordered the accessory Akrapovic slip on as I'm sure this thing will sound pretty muted and wheezy with all the Euro 4 emission crap on it. Plus pillion seat cowl as well, just so it looks better IMO.
Just gotta wait for the boat to get here from Thailand now, dealer reckons late Jan/early Feb.

Out of interest, have they announced the RRP officially yet? The website says that it's still to be announced.

Yeah i think it would be in Kawasaki NZ's interest to get the pricing sorted if they want folk to place orders. I was holding off because of this but when i saw in the States that it came in at the same price as the old Ninja 300 I was less bothered. My dealer said the word from HQ here was that it should come in at "under 9K".
Ive ordered the Spark Metallic black.
You can check out all the colour options here in this thread if interested: http://www.ninja400riders.com/forum/....html#post6293
But at this stage we will be only getting the black and KRT options here in NZ. Shame, I really like the blue option.

Yeah the 400 fours of the late eighties/early nineties were a hoot alright. I sold my GSXR400 earlier this year but would like to get another or a 250 four cyl screamer at some stage in the future when funds and garage space permit.
Gotta embrace the new parallel twin 300/400's as they all we got now and they're getting faster. Cheaper as well which is a bonus. They will never sound as good as four tho.
The new Ninja 400 is about 15 HP down on the ZXR and about 20Kph slower but a little lighter wet weight. 168kg.
Saw this clip on U tube today: Go to 3.30min mark for top speed.

How long have Winton Motorcycles been selling Kwaka's? When I was living in Winton 6 years ago they only sold Suzukis.I ordered one of these today through Winton Motorcycles in Southland.

There are a lot of 4 cyl 400's on the 2nd hand market here. Mainly Hondas. They call them 'Super Fours'.

They still sell Suzukis but opened a second shop about six weeks ago down the bottom (Invercargill) end of town.
They just got chook chasers in the show room at this stage but gonna see how it goes and may get into the road side of things too. Can still order road bikes through them though. Found them really good to deal with so far.
3 bike shops in a town of Wintons size not bad eh!
Forum whore
Yes, I dealt with them while I was living in Winton; found them very good to deal with. Before they moved into the middle of Winton they were in what is now, (or was when I was there), the Stihl Shop. Very nearly bought a Boulevard from them.

Kawasaki arm now back in the Stihl shop, must've retained ownership.
Forum whore
I wondered about that...

Kawasaki NZ now have the pricing up on their website for this bike. Fair chop to them, they have kept the price down to same level as the 2017 model Ninja 300.
$8K for the black one and $8.5K for the green KRT special edition model. Both have ABS.
I heard mid Feb before bikes in dealer show rooms here but don't nail me to the wall on it.
