On June 1, 2023, Kawasaki Europe officially launched the 2023 Ninja 400 and Z400. The two popular A2-license-compatible bikes in Team Green’s middleweight class both boast full Euro 5 compliance for the new model year, and come in some new colors as well to help brighten up your everyday ride. Let’s take a look.
Both the 2023 Ninja 400 and Z400 are powered by the same liquid-cooled, 399cc, parallel twin engine with bore and stroke of 70 mm x 51.8 mm. It makes a claimed 44.8 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and 27 foot-pounds of torque at 8,000 rpm. This mill is mated to a six-speed gearbox.
