Kawasaki Ninja 400 vs Kawasaki Vulcan S

Question 1

Q. Which one should I buy Ninja 400 or KTM RC 390 or BMW 310 GS?

Answer

All three bikes are good in their own forte. The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 400 is priced at Rs 4,99,000, ex-showroom Delhi, which is the same price as the previous-gen bike. Mechanically, the Ninja 400 is identical to the older model, carrying on with the 399cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine with 45.3PS and 37Nm on tap. The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 400 will come with a twin-LED headlamp and a semi-digital instrument cluster. If we talk about RC 390, while maintaining its sporty nature, KTM has also managed to make the 2022 RC 390 a bit more practical when it comes to everyday riding. This is done via a wider clip-on handlebar, redesigned split (and more cushioned) seat setup and a larger tank to better grip with your knees. On the other hand, improvements to the engine, suspension and brakes have significantly enhanced the overall riding experience of the baby GS. It feels more polished, is more capable off-road, and has better equipment for an asking price that’s not only cheaper than before but also much more affordable than the KTM 390. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city and brand for dealership details.

Question 2

Q. Which one should i buy Kawasaki Ninja 400 or the Honda CBR 500R?

Answer

It would be unfair to give a verdict here as the bikes have not been launched yet. You are requested to wait till the official launch. Stay tuned.

Question 3

Q. Which is the best in 400cc segment between KTM RC390 and Kawasaki Ninja400?

Answer

The Ninja 400 is identical to the older model, carrying on with the 399cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine with 45.3PS and 37Nm on tap. This bike now also gets an updated slip-and-assist clutch that Kawasaki claims, has 20% lighter lever action than before. This should make it effortless to ride on roads with stop-go traffic. On the other hand, the ABS, much better tyres, projector headlamps, more power, and all this at a cheaper price, makes the RC390 feel like a bargain. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for details.

Question 4

Q. I am planning to buy my first bike. My shortlisted choices are very small Vulcan S650 and Versys 650. Considering Indian road conditions, which bike would you recommend me? My budget is around 6.5 lakhs INR. Any other options are also welcome.

Answer

Yes.. You can either install an Aftermarket exhaust or get ‘fork raisers’ installed.. Since I live in Bengaluru where cops seem to be very strict about aftermarket exhausts ( and also due to these exhausts being very expensive ), I got ‘fork raisers’ installed which raise the frame by a couple of inches thereby increasing the ground clearance by about an inch..Note that these fork raisers are not some standard accessories you can buy.. These were fabricated and installed at a workshop owned by a member of one of the riding clubs, so you need to check if such fabrication and installation can be done by someone in your city..

Answer

Hi Sathish, I am also planning to buy Vulcan s but due to GC problem I am not getting sure about this. Can we increase Ground Clearance of vulcan s?

Question 5

Q. Kawasaki Vulcan S or Harley Davidson Street 750, What would be the best option to pick?

Answer

Kawasaki's engines and technology are more refined and advanced than Harley's. I picked a Vulcan instead of Street.

Question 6

Q. Ninja 400 or Benelli TNT300 which is good?

Answer

It would be unfair to give a verdict here as Benelli TNT 300 ABS BS6 hasn't launched yet. So we'd suggest you for the bike to get launched. Stay tuned.

Answer

Answer
