For anyone wondering if they’re too short to ride? I’m 4’10” with a 26” inseam, and I ride a lowered Ninja 300 (28” seat height). Although I can only tip toe on one side, can’t kick the kick stand up/down when I’m sitting on the bike, and impossible to “walk” the bike when I’m on it, but that didn’t stop me, so I’m sure you guys can ride too!!!

@@abbyvang1372 It is definitely not an easy process to ride any bike as a short person. I dropped my bike many many times, definitely broke multiple parts (gear shifter, rear brake, rear signal lights, etc) even with frame sliders on. I also got sent home the first time I took my motorcycle safety course, cause I didn’t know how to balance the weight of the bike with my tippy toes, and dropped it 3 times within the first 10mins of the course. The 3rd time I dropped the bike during the class, it landed on my foot and injured it. After that it took me years to gain enough confidence for me to attempt to learn again. It’s going to take time, patience, and dedication. Also ride your ride, don’t ever get pressured to do something you’re not comfortable of (lane splitting, turning quick at a corner, etc). And make sure to ride with safe riders. Wish you all the best! :)

I'm almost 16 and I dont know when I should get one any idea I'm 5,7

My first bike was a Ninja 300 and being I'm 6'2" and 250 lbs, people always gave me their opinion on if I was too big for it. I really enjoyed the bike and I didn't feel to big. Overall, most of the sport type bike are similar in size and if you're north of the 6 foot or 182 cm mark, people will say you look "too big" for the bike. It shouldn't matter if someone else thinks you're too big or not as the only thing that does is how well do you fit it, are you comfortable, and can you operate it safely.

The only problem with trying one at a local dealer: dealers don’t have any in stock.

Awesome content mate, I'm pretty much bang on 6ft and it seems perfect. I didn't have a chance to test ride before I bought it as I got it just before I got my license. I searched for ages trying to find if it would be too small and there wasn't much info out there. You nailed it in this video. Thanks from NZ :)

Love this video. I have a ninja 500. 5’4 and 130lb (American 🤷‍♀️) I feel like a giant on the bike but it’s huge when I’m off it haha. I did shorten it 1.5 inches because I wanted to flat foot where I’m a new rider. I will be raising the bike as I get more and more comfortable. I’m not too excited about not being flat but lowering the bike is supposedly dangerous (so many different perspectives).

I was concerned that it will be too big for me since I'm 1.76 cm Thank you for the explanation.

You’re perfect for it.

I'm 5'8 with a 30 inch inseam. I've been thinking about this bike.

I'm 6 foot so this 400 would suit me just fine. Superbikes are bulky and heavy, so I don't know if I could handle them to my every will.

I was thinking about this bike, but I think I would look big on it too.

Went to my local dealership and sat on R3 , I'm 5'2 and i was tip toeing on both sides but i felt comfortable still, although i would like my feet to be a little flatter.

I'm 6'7 and seems only bikes I fit ish well on are harleys, some adventure stuff or supermoto

Does anyone know how we can increase the rider height? Is it something we can do on our own?

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏻 Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see 👌🏻

5'4" ~27" inseam I've got a chance to demo the ninja, and z400. Coming from a Suzuki GZ250 (and generally preferring cruiser/naked look.) I was hoping the z400 would be it. However, having shorter and slightly stout legs most foot pegs dig into my legs. The ninja's pegs seemed to be ever so slightly more forward, and my legs fit right behind them. I'd like to see how the new eliminator will fit......but, I'm kinda leaning towards the ninja (so I can track it, once I can afford a second bike.)

I’m 5’1 with a 27 inseam and I’m nervous about if I can fit comfortably on it. I’ve been between this bike and the Vulcan S for a few weeks because that one is definitely better for my height/inseam (however I did find out that bike is like 100 pounds heavier, and I barely have any strength). My main 2 concerns though is how well I’ll be able to reach the ground with my feet and if sitting normally (more tucked because of my height) ends up getting kind of uncomfortable (and also how long I can ride before needing to stretch and such). Besides actually sitting on the bikes and adjusting everything though, I still have about a year to grow, so hopefully I’ll gain an inch or two or more. I haven’t lost hope yet!

I’m 6’1 myself and for the $$$ of a new Kawa 400 ninja I can get a good used 600cc or even a 750cc bike.

Good video, I have one too. What dou you think is the best exhaust for ninja 400? In my country "Perú" only sales akrapovic slip on. Idk if i should choose that exhaust. Thanks.

One question I can reach the floor with the kick stand is there a aftermarket kit too lower the bike a little till I'm comfortable to ride it this will be my first bike etc

Would you recommend the ninja 400 for a starter bike I'm 6 foot 1 and 108kgs? I was looking at a yamaha r3 but I was told it's seating position is to aggressive and I'm to tall and heavy so what are your thoughts mate.

The best advice is go sit on bikes. I thought I hated bikes that were sports, & thought only cruisers or standard bikes were the most appropriate & comfortable. Then sat on a Ninja 300 & a SV Suzuki 650, plus some other sports bikes. My views have been reversed!!! So do sit on bikes of a wide variety to find your ergo match.
