Recommended motorcycles based on owner satisfaction.
We introduce the ranking of recommended motorcycles with a high level of owner's satisfaction among MY BIKE registered in "Webike Community". Unlike the ranking based on the number of motorcycles sold, the ranking is based on the number of registered MY BIKE and the overall evaluation score given by the owners, so you can see the real recommended motorcycles in each category.
In this article, we'll introduce the Top 5 ranking of "251-400cc Supersport/Replica Touring Motorcycles" with high satisfaction of owners who own them!
5th Suzuki GSX-R400
Webike Motorcycle Selection List Price:-.
A motorcycle in the midst of a replica boom a generation ago. The two side-by-side round-eyed headlights give it the look of the GSX-R of yesteryear. As the poster child of the replica boom, it's hard to say that it's suitable for touring, but I think the reason why it's so satisfying is that it's fun. I think it's nice to take a leisurely ride through the mountain passes of today while reminiscing about the glamorous days of the boom.
GSX-R400 Specifications and Related Information
| Fuel consumption | 36.0km/L (when driving at 60km/h) |
|---|---|
| Maximum power | 53ps/12000rpm |
| Maximum Torque | 3.8kgf・m/9500rpm |
| Overall Length x Height x Width | 1995mm x 1060mm x 710mm |
About 60% of the riders in the 166-170cm height range answered that the GSX-R400's footing "floats on the heels".
4th Kawasaki ZXR400
Webike Motorcycle Selection List Price: 498,000 - 698,000 yen
The ZXR400 is another poster child for the replica boom, and unlike today's 400cc models, it has a combative styling that is very appealing. The reason for its high touring satisfaction is probably due to the fact that it is a 400cc model. I think the 400cc engine makes it easy to handle and drive, even with its racy specifications. Because you can control the motorcycle in your own hands, I think you can enjoy touring on it.

3rd Yamaha YZF-R3
Webike Motorcycle Selection List Price: From ¥358,600 to ¥687,500
The R3 is a 320cc model that shares the same chassis with the YZF-R25. The R25 is a high-revving motorcycle, so you need to rev the engine a lot (which is the beauty of the R25), but the R3 accelerates smoothly even without revving. The engine speed is also lower than the R25, so there is less fatigue from vibration and noise at high speeds. Fuel economy is also better because you don't have to rev the engine.
YZF-R3 Specifications and Related Information
| Fuel consumption | 41.3km/L (when driving at 60km/h) |
|---|---|
| Maximum power | 42ps/10,750rpm |
| Maximum Torque | 3kgf-m/9,000 rpm |
| Overall Length x Height x Width | 2090mm x 1140mm x 730mm |
| Seat height | 780mm |
About 60% of riders in the 166-170cm height range said that the YZF-R3's footing "floats in the heels".
2nd Honda CBR400R
Webike Motorcycle Selection List Price: 378,000 - 841,500 yen
Although the SS style motorcycle can of course be used for circuit riding, the 400R is more of a motorcycle designed for public roads. The in-line two-cylinder engine has a straightforward characteristic with no vibration at both low and high rpm, and does not tire the rider. The latest model has a slightly tighter frontal lean, but it's still not a problem for public road use. After all, the body design is very attractive.
Specifications and related information of CBR400R
| Fuel consumption | 27.9km/L (when driving at 60km/h) |
|---|---|
| Maximum power | 46ps/9000rpm |
| Maximum Torque | 3.9kgf・m/7500rpm |
| Overall Length x Height x Width | 2080mm x 1145mm x 760mm |
| Seat height | 785mm |
About 80% of the riders of 166-170cm in height answered that the CBR400R's footing was "heel floating".
1st Kawasaki Ninja 400/Kawasaki
Webike Motorcycle Selection List Price:328,000 - 848,000 yen
The Ninja 400 is a motorcycle that can be ridden happily on winding roads. The reason for this is the body weight, and the current model shares the same body with the Ninja 250. That's why the current model shares the same chassis with the Ninja 250, making it a much lighter motorcycle than you'd expect from a conventional 400cc. Another point is that the Ninja 400 itself was designed for public roads. That's why it can be ridden on public roads for a long time without getting tired and having fun.
Ninja 400 specs and related information
| Fuel consumption | 32.0km/L (when driving at 60km/h) |
|---|---|
| Maximum power | 48ps/10000rpm |
| Maximum Torque | 3.9kgf・m/8000rpm |
| Overall Length x Height x Width | 1990mm x 1120mm x 710mm |
| Seat height | 785mm |
About 70% of riders in the 166-170cm height range said that the Ninja 400 had a 'heel lift' feel to it.
Summary
Today's 400cc class SSs are designed to ride comfortably on public roads, not for grinding use as in the past. So it is not that they lack power, but they are the same as in the past. Motorcycle manufacturing technology has also improved, so in general, motorcycles are more complete than in the past. I think it can be interpreted as a broadening of the range, not a shifting of performance to public roads. The Ninja 400 is a full cowl sport motorcycle that has both SS and tourer characteristics that are completed to a high level.
