picked up a new 2025 zx400rr today. got a great traded in on the trail125 so thats gone, got ot for a great price so very happy about that. Matt msr) has had p e for a year and I liked it. so, here we are.
Congrats! New Bike Day rules :whoop:
There is a guy on advrider forum who has had a couple of those. He has done everything to it that can possibly be done and still have lights.
Cool bikes, too bad they don't have aluminum frames like the ones from the 80's-90's.
ill get it unrestricted after the break in. its actually the 1st sport bike ive bought for myself. yeah the lack of an aluminum perimeter frame is weird but new i paid under 10k so im pretty happy about that
Nice new bike. Enjoy!
Unrestricted flow through the engine at 16k rpm has to be fun.
I know it has some lousy factory programming and an exhaust that must be changed.
I'm thinking you will thoroughly enjoy.
Congratulations! I bet you won't name it Kermit, but I dare ya.
I will not. I had a kawasaki triple named 'the frog' that actually was a double entendre name. so. no. :)
A friend of mines kid has one of them, that's been jazzed up, and claims it's pushing 70hp. :thumbs:
yup :celebrate:
Have you tried the quick shifter? Or is it recommended to wait until after the break in miles?
ive used it. its fine
My 16' KTM SuperDuke GT has one but it's only for shifting up. It's not a big deal but I like the auto blip downshifting.
I bet it sounds good. :vroom:
Looks good. Local dealer had one last year, they had put a noisy pipe on a brand new one and jacked up the price another $500 to cover it. Looking forward to seeing this at The Gap?
not sure if its coming in may
NICE, :taz: :whoop: :clap: :olaf: I have always been a big KAWI fan. I have thought about that bike a lot . How does the power feel to you , with in stock form?
im still in break in but its good. like said I rode Matt's which was already broken in an wailed on it. its really good. also, its very comfortable for a sport bike.
Dealer here has one for 9699.00 I want to go trade for one..
I am having severe wrist problems at the moment and it makes me more practical. Boo Boo >:(
Have you tried the ABS? Seems like another neat feature. I never ridden Tail of the Dragon but I imagine that would be a great bike for it.
I must say I find it interesting and somewhat polarizing that the dry weight is over 400 pounds but I totally get it. There's a lot packed into a little package and if it's balanced well with a nimble feeling then that weight will vanish with momentum. Just interesting. Upon saying that I wonder what exactly a creme de la creme no expense spared race prepped version weighs?
tried the abs? no. ive actuated abs on other bikes, its not fun. I also have so many old bikes i do not rely on it. that being said , yeah its relatively heavy for a 400cc. can you feel it in corners? not really. owning the lightweight at 234-236 lbs i can say, sometimes you can go too far.
my tzr is about perfect weight wise at around 308 lbs. to me. enough to keep it planted. light enough to be quick.
the performance overall is very good but it's def different. its very stable and has a bunch of good tech, which is nice. IMHO getting the extra hp on a re flash will put it where it was designed to be. :burnout: matt had his up there last year. yeah it was great up there. I may bring the 400 this year , but prob not to the 2t meet.maybe later in the year. already plan on the t500 and the cb1100. maybe the LS2
Ahhh, very interesting. I was curious as to how this compares to the lightweight. That is an awesome bike,like the total opposite of the ninja,lol.
when I rode matts the 1st time I met him out and rode the tzr. I literally jumped off that, didn't even pull my helmet and jumped on his 400. literally back to back. my impression was , to him, 'its a modern version of 'that' and pointed to my tzr .
