Context
Why does this story matter?
Kawasaki was one of the early movers in the sub-500cc supersport segment in India with its capable Ninja range of motorcycles. The Ninja 300 from the Japanese manufacturer was a highly sought after bike for people looking to step up into the 600cc and 1,000cc categories. With the Ninja 400, the brand plans to up the game by offering a potent parallel-twin motor.

The motorcycle flaunts LED headlights and alloy wheels
The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 400 flaunts a fully-faired body with Kawasaki Racing Team livery, a 14-liter muscular fuel tank, twin LED headlights and a clip-on handlebar. Split-type seats, an upswept exhaust, and a tapered tail section with an LED taillamp are also available. The bike houses a semi-digital instrument cluster and rides on 17-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels with lime green-colored pinstripes.
