385lbs = 13-17 EX300
438lbs = 94-07 EX500
366lbs = 18+Ninja 400, about same as pre-gen. Along with more aggressive steering geometry than all of them makes for best flickable bike ever!

What are the claimed power as stock of those bikes?
I had the 2010 250 (claimed 29hp) and then got the 300 (claimed '39hp) and I noticed a nice difference, especially in the highway.
I think the 400 claims 44hp stock.

There's quite a bit of variation in official numbers for the 400 in different sales regions (one is listed as 48hp), so it's possible there's some headroom left in the tune too.
The 500 was listed as 59hp, but low- to mid-50's seems to have been a common real-world result. It was pretty close to exactly 2x the 250's numbers.
https://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=334158 has some dyno numbers. Here's a
300 vs.
400 comparison - 25% higher peak horsepower and 40% higher peak torque, without drastic differences in the curves.
And
here's the
250 vs.
300 from when that was introduced. A similar increase of 37% for horsepower and 33% for torque.
That works out to 70% increase in horsepower and 82% increase in torque going from the '11 250 to the '18 400. Yes, it's still a little Ninja, but it's definitely quite a jump in power.
https://www.cycleworld.com/lets-see-...s-up-to-class/ compares the
400 to some of its current competition (without the other little Ninjas).
