    This 400R was Jesse Norton's (Norton Fabrications) development bike for the Ninja 400R Program engineered with Jeremy Toye. I purchased it from Jesse in January 2022. It has a California Salvage Title and is a track-only build (not street legal). My notes say I was told the following (I have no way to verify these statements):

    * Frame was determined to be straight-and-true
    * Most of the original parts have been replaced/upgraded (see web link below for parts list)
    * The motor was dyno'd at 62hp (stock is ~ 45hp)
    * Weight was measured at 306 lbs (quite a bit less than stock!)
    * Jesse has done a 1:57 lap at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway with this build

    NOTE: some parts may not match this build list - I have no way to verify everything listed


    After my purchase of this 400R, I used it for 11 track days. After that, I switched to another bike and stored the 400R in my garage. The motor has been run regularly and the battery has been on a tender. I just changed the oil/filter on 2/20/24. It currently has DOT tires on it and those have major wear - should be replaced. I can include the original track slicks that came with the bike - those were dismounted and put in storage. Left Side.jpg Left Side.jpg Right Side.jpg Rear Side.jpg

    I’d be interested at $6500

    This bike is a $25K build - please review the provided web link to see what is included and associated pricing. The bike has had recent service work including brake pads, spark plugs and oil/filter change - ready to roll this season. I think the asking price is more than fair - my mechanic tells me my price is too low!
