On the launch of the Ninja 400, Yutaka Yamashita, Managing Director of India Kawasaki Motors said "Ninja 300 is mainly made for beginners and Ninja 650 is popular among experienced riders. However, Ninja 400 fits the bill for those who are willing to buy a sports bike between 300 and 650cc. With the introduction of Ninja 400 we have created a good family of Ninja series. As of now Ninja 400 will be available in limited numbers, because Ninja 300 is still our flagship model in India and it will be continued along with other Ninja models."

The trellis frame on the Ninja 400 has been designed similarly to that of the mental Ninja H2. Kawasaki says that it used advanced dynamic rigidity analysis to ensure optimum rigidity of the chassis combined with light weight. Similar to the Ninja H2, the 400 to gets a swingarm mounting plate, which fixes the swingarm to the rear of the engine and thereby enhancing stability.
