You have to remember that these people are paid to do what they do. They are being paid to promote the more expensive bikes. Manufacturers don't want to to stick with their "entry level" bikes. Instead, they want you to move up to more expensive bikes. I agree with you, though. I ride a Yamaha V-Star 250, and I love it. It fits me like a glove, as I'm a very small person. I can go all out, like a bat out of hell, and yet I'm only going the speed limit. It's lots of fun. Compare that with a supersport that can go highway speeds in first or second gear. A supersport is basically an automatic, unless you are breaking the law.

After doing much thinking and research, I finally went with the R3. Reasons: 1. Actually sitting on both, I realized instantly that I did NOT like the extra fairing on the ninja. It felt fat, clunky, and too much for me personally. Despite it looking really good, I wasn’t a fan of the POV when I actually sat on it. 2. The R3 seems to be preferred by people who actually have a lot of experience riding motorcycles. I’m willing to give up just a little bit of power for an overall better engine/seating/experience 3. The looks of the R3 grew on me tremendously. The Ninja looks great don’t get me wrong, and it was the bike I was originally gonna get, but after months of looking at them, I realized just how good the R3 looks. 4. I’m only 185lbs. I’ve never ridden a motorcycle. I don’t think I’m going to stress too much about 70 CC’s. 5. The R3 dash looks better imo 6. I found a helluva deal (1200 miles on a 2019 Yamaha Blue) for $3,900. Verdict: I would have been very happy with either, but ultimately, I’m very glad I went with the R3 😊 let me know you guys opinions!

Love watching over your content bro !! Still havent gotten me a bike yet but hey everything just takes time ...

I started with a brand new Ninja 250 and almost instantly wanted more power especially for two up riding. Ended up selling it for a Ninja 650 and was 100% satisfied with my decision. The truth is beginner bikes are great efficient commuters but overall pretty slow for a motorcycle. You will likely want more power soon after getting comfortable on one of these two bikes. Don’t make a decision on a bike based on the look of the rear fender/license plate housing/turn signals or the sound/look of the stock exhaust as those are usually the first two modifications riders make to their bikes.

Really Great video on the two bikes you guys have given here. I really like the Ninja 400 bike, it would be my first choice...been wanting one for a year now.

Regarding the difference between full floating and semi floating brake discs: in ancient times, when I was young, motorbikes had discs made from a single piece of steel or iron bolted to the wheel hub. At some stage - 80s-90s on road bikes, manufacturers started making the discs, or rotors, out of two pieces, with the inner part being aluminum/aluminum alloy to reduce weight (reduced weight good; reduced unsprung weight very good). Aluminum and steel expand at different rates, so the two parts are joined by “buttons” which allow them to expand and contract independently to avoid/reduce warping. On a semi floating disc, these buttons allow this to happen, but do not allow the rotor to move laterally (side-to-side) independent of the carrier. Full floaters allow the lateral movement, too, enabling the disc to self-center in the caliper. :)

He was talking about the clutch bite on the ninja 400. When i first bought mine the bike was in the middle. After the first service it was way far out like my grom. I had to adjust the clutch so it was in the middle again.

No way. I've been researching bike all day yesterday and it came down to these two bikes. What a great timing!

16:21 you can adjust non-adjustable forks by changing fork oil weight for a quick fix ie 5W to 10 W, you won't be able to breeze over speed humps if you do this though. You can also get those fork cartridge emulator that insert inside the fork, if you are keen on keeping the bike rather than getting another bike with adjustable forks.

Im glad you mentioned it. People dont understand, sometimes, about power-to-weight ratio in that 50HP is not the same unless the riders are within the same weight bracket. a 250lb person v a 150lb person on the same bike are gonna do vastly different performance-wise.

I’ve noticed most dealers are willing to drop their pants and grab their ankles on Kawi pricing, but when selling a Yamaha they’ll barely show ass crack.. negotiate and get a smokin deal on the 400, I got $1400 off, extra year of warranty, and a free Ogio-Kawi backpack.

I love my ninja 400 abs. I changed the exhaust because the stock is heavy and lets be honest isn't loud enough

You guys were on a bluetooth phone call + recording the audio through a mic? Hahaa just wondered about that. The ninja 400 seems pretty good after watching this

Hi Yammie, I just started to watch your channel, I really like it. Just a friendly reminder, for those of us who whatch you from abroad and are not native speakers; it is harder to understand numbers without seeing it. Please next time when you talk about hps and torques write it down, too. Thank you for your hard work. Take care

Man I can’t wait till I get a bike. Told myself I gotta get an apartment or house before I get one. Keeping my head down to it’s time.

I have owned a Ninja 400 for almost a whole year now it was my go to bike when I crashed my old one anyways getting to the point The ninja is an amazing bike I agree the foot peg and the exhaust are almost the only 2 downsides of the ninja however a new exhaust can fix that

never been a fan of the new R3 design, the new R125 looks so much better but I prefer it to the 400 design..

I would like to see the power vs handling comparison made with the 'Busa and Street Triple. Already know the answer, but would be amusing to watch you two try to work through it.

The 400 revs a bit nicer once you get the stock muffler off. My 300 revs happily and blipping the throttle gemot super nice once I went to a GP muffler. The wider fairings gives you nicer wind protection.

My first bike was a 2015 R3, I upgraded to a 2018 R6 (which sadly was totaled through no fault of my own and I would still be riding it if not for the accident) and now I ride a 2016 S1000RR, which is also great. The bikes in this video are both great for what they are but splitting hairs about how fast they are is kind of silly because they aren't fast bikes relative to other sport bikes. I would go with the R3 though because the fit and finish feels very premium. Yamaha really took their time with the styling and ample use of aluminum parts vs. plastics. Just my two cents. Both bikes are great though.

haha same as me when i had my old 400, first thing i did was adjust that clutch lever to have instant bite, but deffinately is a better bike than that R3, happy honda owner now though :)

Yeah, the Ninja 400 takes gas instantly and the clutch is so super soft, that you already pull it by just touching it unless you adjust it (any you should adjust it). I also like its black levers from the factory. Actually you dont have to change them. Things to change one the 400 are the huge exhaust, license plate holder and indicators when you are already changing things anyway. I think the mirrors are fine on both bikes.

Damn, I was gonna buy an R3 at some point but your ergonomics check makes me rethink this. When I compare 8:15 to 10:40 the difference between the two bikes becomes apparent. Ninja 400 really does look like a bigger bike, especially up front. Plus a more comfortable riding position, wider seat, bigger rear tire, more power down low, integrated turn signals and so on.

The 1968 Honda CB750cc was considered a muscle bike back in 1968. It had 68 horsepower, and weighed a hell of a lot more than Ninja 400. They were probably very similar in acceleration. We are spoiled today. Don't buy a Ninja 400 with the plan on selling it, just because it's not a 600. Plan on buying it, upgrading it, and making it comfortable. You don't need more power to have a good daily driver.

thanks for the video guys

Wow Yammie, that's some really good video editing to make it look like you were riding both bikes and doing both voices at the same time. To a lesser trained eye, you could have fooled them, but not me! I know you have no friends.

Rode the ninja 400 at bike week. I really enjoyed how light it was. Strongly considering it as my next bike.

I brought the R3 and I loved that bike. I also did a review on it. 👍

Well, not real good at entering stuff. I looked an didn't see a place to enter without some for of obligation. Like watching your stuff, thinking about getting back into street riding again. The 390 Duke I think would best suit me till I feel more comfortable with one of the bigger brothers. So thanks for the insight man. I really appreciate it.

I felt like the late clutch was to flick through gears. Its also a first bike for me so I dont know what to compare to other than the Rebel from the MSF course. The clutch is so light on the foot and bar. You can effortlessly slam through them with good timing

The clutch lever on the N400 does not feel bad. Its light, super light, shifts up like nothing. That means while you're riding in the city or track for longer periods, it doesnt take so much effort. Try shifting up and down a hundred or so times within in hour. The N400 eliminates the exhaust on your hand.

My very first bike was the r3. I'm a huge fan of it, hands down the best starter bike I think., they're unbelievably reliable also. The r3 is so lightweight you can absolutely just throw it around all day, You can get an amazing sounding akro slip-on for $300, they have really tall gearing, and they have a great resale value. 100% recommend. I ride a Ducati now, And honestly the r3 gave me so much confidence in my motorcycling ability, just a great bike.

I hear the 400 has better low end power but on the highway after 100 mph they pull they same and have a similar top speed ..so it's all about which one you like look wise ...I think the 400 is the more sports and advanced looking bike almost looks like a H2 sorta kinda but if you like the r3 which is also pretty get it..get what you think looks better ..best of luck.. remember tho 400 has more torque tho but if your always in the highway the r3 is just as fast..keep in mind I have never driven either or this is just what I've seen watching acceleration videos of both bikes...the 400 is the better quartermile bike by far..but in the highway over 90mph to about 110-115 they perform the same
