2012 Kawasaki Ninja 400R Review

Only in Canada they say.

Reflecting its sporty personality, the Ninja 400R blends an aggressive Ninja image with the fashion sense and chic sophistication
of a modern street bike. Dressed in elegant full-fairing bodywork and with a high attention to the smallest details, it offers
the same build quality and finish found on its larger sibling, the Ninja 650R.
