Engineered by Kawasaki for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 400 ABS features a 399 cc (24.4 cu in) twin, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 70.0 x 51.8 mm (2.8 x 2.0 inches) with a 11.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Ninja 400 ABS measures 166 kg (366 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,344 mm (52.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.7-liter (1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
