The Kawasaki Z400 is a 399 cc Z series standard motorcycle introduced by Kawasaki as a successor to the Z300. It was unveiled at the 2018 EICMA in Milan, Italy.[1][2][3] It is powered by a 399 cc (24.3 cu in) liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine derived from the Ninja 400 sport bike.

History

2022 update

The engine was made Euro 5 compliant.[4]

The Z400 was released at a price of ฿FXConvert/Wordify error: cannot parse value "Template:FXConvert/Scale" (US$FXConvert/Wordify error: cannot parse value "Undefined year """) in Thailand.[5] In Germany, the Z400 was released at FXConvert/Wordify error: cannot parse value "Template:FXConvert/Scale" (US$FXConvert/Wordify error: cannot parse value "Undefined year """).[6]

Electric variant

In November 2022, Kawasaki announced it would produce a naked Z sport bike with an electric drivetrain. Regulatory documents filed with the Australian government in 2023 show the bike will be marketed as the Z e-1, using the same basic chassis as the Z400.[7]
