New Ninja 400 forum
Hey guys there is a new forum for the 400 that's been up about a fortnight. I've posted a bunch of stuff on there, some of which may be of interest.
There's only about six members at present so feel free to sign up! Check it out here: http://www.ninja40***********m/

Why don't we just talk about the Ninja 400 here?
It's still the Ninjette. |

Ninjette.org - smart enough to not put an engine size in the domain name, thus staying out of the cc wars.

Yep, Alex did something right. Doesn't matter 250cc, 300cc, 400cc they are all the smallest Ninja's of their time and all are a Ninjette. Just add a 400cc sub forum and we are good.

It's my understanding they're bringing the 250 back too, right? Will there be a need for a sub-forum called the "New-Newgen 250" or maybe the "Thirdgen 250" Forum"?

Whoop whoop I also ordered the Akrapovic slip on option as I'm picking this bike will be that chocked up with Euro 4 crap that it will sound like an asthmatic sewing machine trying to breathe through a little pee shooter size hole in the end of the can. Plus the pillion seat cowl as I'm not into pillioning and I think it looks cooler with the cowl on. Just gotta wait 8-10 weeks now for the boat to get here from Thailand...

Nothing against the new 400 forum and I hope the 6 of you have a good time. But unless Alex bans me from here I don't see any reason to join another forum to discuss the Ninjettes. |

True, we can hope that after the existing 300s are sold, the new 250 will show up. Well, I guess it doesn't matter much to me anytime soon, I never buy new vehicles anyway.

250/400 makes a ton of sense for Japan, given their license classes. I'd love to see both of them Stateside but I doubt it. Really frustrating, as I hate to think how this will impact the small class racing groups. I can't imagine a 250 being able to compete with a 400 if the riders are anything close to comparable skill.

AFM too! There’s only about 10 people left racing 250 Production class. Although I can hang mid-pack in the WSS300 class, chances of winning are slim. Twins can run one class down, so maybe if I run a 251-450cc twin... hmm... 2018 rulebook hasn't been posted yet, I betcha they tighten things down.

Hopefully in the midwest CCS doesn't allow the 400 in any of their classes. I already started bitching up a storm about it on their forum. 250 is dead here but 300 seemed to be growing. Coming out with a 400 is going to hurt that.

Kawi is killing itself for racing, but that isn't big bucks for them anyways. Give it a year or so and the classes will allow the ninja 400s.

The 400 fits nicely in the CCS 500 SS and SB classes. But I dont think they would be able to bump up into the LWT classes as those two typically are in the same race?
