Kawasaki Ninja 400 Gets New Colours Revealed In Thailand

  • The new colours have been introduced in Thailand.
  • Expect these colours to be offered on the 2021 Euro 5-spec machine globally as well.
  • Hopefully, there will be some respite in terms of pricing for India.

Kawasaki Thailand has introduced four new colours for the hot Ninja 400. The new colours are for the 2021 model, with no price revision in store for them. There appears to be no change to the engine as well with the Euro 5 updates seemingly put off for a European unveil later in the year. Expect Kawasaki India to bring a couple of these new colours next year with the BS6 updates. While we do not expect the ridiculously high asking price of Rs 4.99 lakh (ex-showroom India) to be reduced for 2021, we hope that it at least remains the same for the BS6 bike.

The Ninja 400 gets the same new KRT scheme that debuted on the Ninja ZX-6R a few weeks ago. There is none of the gold honeycomb stickering present now and in its stead comes simple and subtle red stripes. Even the 400 badging is less obvious on this shade with the white bottom panel adding a bit of nostalgia to the mix.

In Thailand, the Ninja 400 is sold in standard and SE variants. The KRT livery is found on the SE and so is the new turquoise blue/silver scheme. It does seem a bit much, the colour isn’t very commonly found on two-wheelers, especially on the ones that roll out from the green side of Japan. The other black/white and grey/green/black colours are a bit too subtle for this firecracker of a motorcycle that is the Ninja 400.

The 399cc parallel-twin engine is yet to be updated to meet the Euro 5/BS6 emission norms. In India, we used to receive the souped-up Japanese-spec bike which produced 49PS and 38Nm. Expect no drop in performance but a slight gain in kerb weight on the BS6 bike.

Which of these colours would you like to see on the Ninja 400 in India and how should the bike be priced now? Shoot your opinions on the bike on our social media channels or in the comments below.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

TVS Tyres Launches Two New Range Of Tyres For Scooters

The two new range of tyres are called - Jumbo-XT and the Pancer-II. Exclusively made for scooters. The company claims that both provide excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions. TVS Tyres has launched two new range of tyres for scooters - Jumbo-XT and the Pancer-II. Both will be available in 90/100 -10 sizes across the country.

Honda HNess CB350 Variants Explained

  Watch Video Review   Honda has created quite the splash in the retro segment with the launch of its first classic motorcycle developed specifically for India , the Honda H’Ness CB350 . Like most of its portfolio, it is available in two variants. Here’s a detailed explanation of how different the features are in DLX and DLX Pro. Aesthetics: The Honda H’Ness CB350 DLX Pro variant gets a more premium, retro-looking dual-tone colour scheme on the fuel tank. This variant is available in three colours: Pearl Nightstar Black with Spear Silver Metallic, Athletic Blue Metallic with Virtuous White and Matte Steel Black Metallic with Matte Massive Grey Metallic. The matte black and grey colour variant comes with a beige seat cover whereas the other two colour variants get a black one. Of these three, the blue is our favourite as it echoes the nostalgic blue and white scheme of its forefather, the Honda CB350 from 1970. On the other hand, the base DLX variant comes only in si...
