Kawasaki Motors Corp., USA has launched the 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 in the country, with prices starting from USD 4,999 MSRP (INR 322,061).
The Kawasaki Ninja 400 carries Ninja styling inspired from the mighty Ninja H2 and Ninja ZX-10R, such as the chin spoilers at the bottom of the front cowl, triple-peak motif of the tail cowl, and the LED tail light design. The headlamp is LED as well and comes with dual low and high beams. Kawasaki has employed the multifunction analogue-digital combo cluster from the Ninja 650. The ergonomics are sporty, but relaxed enough for long-distance riding. The bike made its global debut at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show.
