No plans currently exist to bring the bike to the UK market.[3] Instead, a new Ninja 400 (2018) is introduced for the global market.[4] While the new Ninja 400 is similar in many ways, it is mostly a different bike. The Ninja 400R is based on the Ninja 650R.[2][5] There is also a naked version of the 400R called the ER-4n introduced in 2011 only sold in Japan.[5]
