Product Description

The 2020 Kawasaki Z400 is a lightweight naked streetfighter that brings aggressive Z-series styling to the accessible 400cc class. With only 1,430 km on the clock, this example is barely broken in and ready for its next owner.

Engine and Performance

At the heart of the Z400 is a 399cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine producing 45 hp at 10,000 rpm and 38 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm . The engine is borrowed from the popular Ninja 400 but tuned for a more immediate, street-friendly response. The 6-speed transmission is paired with an assist and slipper clutch for light lever action and smooth downshifts. The 14-liter fuel tank delivers an approximate range of 300 km at an average consumption of 25 km/L .

Chassis and Handling

The Z400 weighs just 167 kg, making it exceptionally light and agile — a “raw edge” characteristic that sets it apart from other beginner-friendly bikes . The 41mm telescopic fork and preload-adjustable Uni-Trak rear shock provide a balanced ride, while the trellis frame (co-developed with the Ninja 400) offers predictable, confidence-inspiring handling .

Braking and Electronics

A 310mm front petal disc with dual-piston caliper and 220mm rear disc provide strong stopping power, backed by ABS as standard equipment . Cycle World noted that the Z400’s “high-level competence makes everyday riding at any speed confidence-inspiring” .

Comfort and Ergonomics

The Z400 adopts an upright riding position distinct from its faired Ninja sibling, making it ideal for city commutes . The 785mm seat height and narrow design allow riders as short as 155 cm to reach the ground with confidence . The sharp “Sugomi” design language — low headlight, rising tail — gives it the aggressive stance of larger Z models .
