Our verdict

Big-Ninja looks scaled down, with the lowest seat in class and easy manners, a confidence-building first sportbike, if down on outright kit.

Pros

  • Lowest seat in class at 785 mm
  • Friendly, confidence-building manners
  • Full Ninja styling

Cons

  • Down on kit versus rivals
  • Modest top-end punch
