2019 Z400 Review - The best learners bike? - Kawasaki

Is this Kawasaki Z400 the ultimate learners bike?

I picked up the 2019 Kawasaki Z400 from Penrith Motorcycle Centre for the review, and had the opportunity to ride up into the Blue Mountains to give it a good test. Travelling both on Freeway roads as well as windy roads too.

This might very well be the best choice for many learner riders, as it's super light weight, very quick if needed, and the ergonomics are perfect for learning.

To top this off Penrith Motorcycle Centre is offering insanely good prices on both this and the Ninja 400. Contact them here at
