I had a GSXR1000, I bought it with so many mods they were worth more than the bike cost new. ALL of them were worthy performance mods and made the bike a gem. Full titanium Akro system. AP racing discs. PFM 6 pot calipers. Braided hoses (f+r). Brembo master cylinder. Full Ohlins (f+r and steering damper). Slipper clutch. Gilles adjustable rearsets. Gilles adjustable clip-ons. Quick throttle. Harris adjustable billet yokes. A lot of carbon fibre. Marchesini forged wheels. TRE eliminator. Dynojet Power commander. Dynojer quick shifter. K+N Filter. I bought the bike for £4,500 with £12,000 worth of kit. It had been modified and then done 400 miles in 4 years. Then I used it as a courier bike in London.

A So many people whining about the mods vs. cost of bike ratio. How many more times could he possibly say "for the track?" Same mods have been done to Ninja 250s, CBR 250s / 300s, R3s, RCs... for the track. Even the title says "Advanced" sport bike mods. No one is suggesting do this to a 400 and you'll have a 636. That is a different class of racing. And know what? You'd need the same mods to get that 636 to the "advanced" sport bike for track at that level too. Also, no one is saying do all this to your 400 to have fun on it on the street. I get tons of negatives on you tube cause that's how it goes these days. But we are supposed to be motorcyclists with a bit of understanding for the topic. Sheesh.

Lucky for me all I had to do with my 07 ninja 250 was put a 2008 or newer rear shock as an upgrade and no need to remove any plastics to do so
And remember, you can upgrade a lot of stuff and not go quite as crazy. Especially in the suspension department, there are MUCH better bang for the buck options than going full Ohlins (Revzilla even sells a few of them) that will give you almost the same performance benefit without the high cost of Ohlins. Slip on exhaust gives you the sound and weight savings, but is less expensive and doesn't usually require a power commander or reflash (though the Ninja 400 might not be able to use slip ons, Kawasaki uses 1 piece exhaust systems on a lot of their bikes now).

Ride safe, Pat www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/drag-specialties-center-jack-scissor-lift-stand
Shock install should be like a .5 on the beard scale and only takes 10min. Start out on a rear stand and then place regular jack stands under the peg mount/frame. No need for a lift or fairing removal...easy peasy.
can you show ninja 650 model 2019 with lowered handle bar? I am eager to see how ninja 650 looks like transformed to sports mode.
They left out steering damper.. wonder would it fit after the clip-ons mod? Nice and informative video 👍 valuable especially for A2 license drivers (myself have zx6r 2020 abs).

Seriously considering going a size up on tires on my ninja 400 looking at the Michelin road 6's it appears to be cheaper to go a size up on a size 17 rim because I keep seeing rear and front bundles one size up from the 110/70 150/60 that come stock on a ninja 400
I would put a slip on exhaust, and be done with it for everyday street riding. The big stock exhaust hits your heel if you have big feet!!!
If you've got a small displacement sport bike, skip 95% of this. The 5% you really want is quality tires and brake pads. They're the greatest improvements you can make and also some of the cheapest. Everything else is really only an improvement if your already a super skilled rider. (Though upgraded suspension is admittedly very nice, I'd save the money for a bigger bike if you do plan to move up in displacement at some point)

The only place you maybe feel a ever so slight boost from earlyer is at high revs. On the street you wont feel a thing. Dont get a performance exhaust wanting to increase horsepower, get it for its looks and sound, and think about if the price really is worth it. I would honsetly just go for a slipon for street use. Looks and sounds nearly the same as a full system.

I have no experience on other bikes, but I've rode a Suzuki 125 at the MSF class and a Z125 at work. I'd highly recommend at least 249cc unless you don't want to go over 60 mph. If I was starting out today, I'd buy the new CB 300R (it's not a CBR but it's 40 lbs lighter.) Single cylinder bikes are the purest form of motorcycling, going back to the roots. There are no other beginner singles besides KTM 390 which doesn't have the strong dealer network or reliability of Honda. Ninja 400 is cool. It's a slightly bigger bike than the CBR 300, allowing me to fully tuck behind the windscreen, but it's a twin, so it's not my style.

I agree, except for suspension. Its always a good idea to swap the suspension of your bike, as they almost ceirtanly are not tailored for your weight, lenght and riding style from factory. Even for street riding its important to have the right suspension. It will ensure that you have maximum control of the bike in an emergency situation. For example, if you are a bit heavyer (80 kg+) the factoy springs will very likely be too soft for you. This means If you have to do emergency braking, the forks will bottom out and your brake performance is heavily reduced, to a level where its straight dangerous as a bottomed out fork will lock up your front wheel at the tinyest little crack on the road. Doesnt have to be Öhlins 2000 dollar shocks and 3000 dollar forks, if its for street riding only, new front and rear springs at 80 dollars a piece will be just fine.

Where did you get that slip on exhaust from
Best sport bike mods according to what you see on the street: remove your license plate holder. +5 HP right there. Advantages: you bend your plate at a stupid angle that makes your bike look like it's broken and you zip tied parts back on it, and it hits the tire when your rear suspension compresses so you know when you're really riding hard. Unless you mount it flush with the tail, in which case you can just have the cops tell you how well you're riding when they pull you over for the 17th time because they can't read your plate. DON'T BE THAT GUY WITH A STOCK PLATE HOLDER! YOUR FRIENDS WILL KNOW YOU'RE SLOW!

I dont think most of the people recommending a 600cc supersport have ever ridden one on the street. All top end power which means you're pretty much speeding at the end of 1st gear unless you're on a 75mph highway... which means you can barely hit second before breaking the law. You ride with a target on your back for cops. Being able to ride the bike through the gears is actually a lot of fun which is not practical with most bigger sport bikes (600 and above.) I have an R6 and an XSR700 and have way more fun on the XSR unless it's a track day. Low end torque on the streets baby!
