Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer or intermediate riders thanks to its modest 53hp output and manageable, forgiving powerband.
PurposeA small-displacement sport tourer designed for spirited weekend rides and comfortable commuting rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe 780mm seat height and 197kg dry weight make it accessible to riders of average or smaller stature without feeling flimsy.
CharacterA smooth, high-revving inline-four that rewards keeping the engine spinning, wrapped in a sporty yet upright riding position.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking big highway-passing power or serious off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1995 Kawasaki ZZR-400, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
