Kawasaki Ninja 400 Vs KTM RC390 - Best Beginner Sportbike in 2023?

A Comprehensive review and specs showdown between two of the ABSOLUTE BEST Beginner sportbikes on the market today.

The incredibly popular beginner sport bike from Kawasaki that is widely regarded as one of the best all rounders in the class, the Ninja 400. Going up against the recently updated, race inspired little track monster from KTM, the RC390. If you’re looking at getting your first motorcycle, OR a highly capable little machine to dominate the roads and races with, these are two of the absolute best options available and today we are putting them head to head in one epic showdown.

G’day Im Kwackajack and welcome to another episode of the versus series! This is where we put two very similar bikes that you may be looking to choose between under the magnifying glass for a specs comparison and really get down to the nitty gritty to find out who comes out on top. We’ll be analysing the styling, claimed engine and power specs, exhaust notes, weight, suspension and brakes, fuel economy, features and price to see where they stack up and who takes the crown. Having also owned the Ninja 400 and spend a lot of time around RC390s I’ll be adding in a little bit of my own personal experience with each aswell.
