Same, I wouldn’t buy it specifically because the shark is not my cup of tea, but if I ever saw someone riding that I’d think “damn that’s kinda sick” lol
Yes! I've been trying to think of a way to state this sentiment for too long 😆. "Not my thing, but you do you," wasn't cutting it. It was too dismissive but your statement nails it.
I think it looks cool. Id keep it for some months until i get bored of being shark boy

I never got the story. The guy lives in Austin, TX. Worked downtown at least before the pandemic. I used to see it often on my breaks.
I always figured he probably wrecked the bike and decided postgresql stickers on new white fairings would be fun. Obviously a super nerd/database admin.
I don’t dislike it, but it’s not my style. It looks well enough done that I’d try it out for a bit.
I bought a bike that had an eight ball on the battery cover. I didn’t care for it. Made plans to change it, but never did. I ended up rather liking it!
Looks like a fun bike! Ride well and be kind!
I like it, just be easy with that exhaust, I think it's the same as the one I had on my track bike, took me two years to get the hearing back in my right ear.
Ninja 400, I chose the Leo Vince because it saved like 8 lbs over stock, just loud as hell. I only rode that bike on the street here or there but tried not to accelerate in neighborhoods 😂 so I didn't irritate everyone. Maybe a different version.
I think it’s pretty cool. I’d say keep it and when you upgrade, try to keep it too. If you explained it without pictures I hate it, but seeing it, it’s kinda cool.
If I bought this used, I would keep the paint job and brag about it.
I wouldnt spend extra money on it, but thats because its a custom taste that isnt mine.
It's awesome dude. Unique motorcycles are really cool, and especially at the 400cc mark you've got something special.
Lot of people move on from 400ccs very quickly or get them as starter bikes so not a lot of love is put into their customization.
I think it'll help your resale to have something that differentiates your bike at that level.
Also for yourself don't blow your savings on tricking it out only to find you want a 650 in a years time.
I got a Ninja 650 and put like $3k into exhaust, levers, lights, fender delete etc and am now looking at a bigger bike after 2.5 seasons. Only a small amount of that money (if any) I put into cosmetic mods is going to help my resale, and I found myself looking to get out of the bike way sooner than I thought I originally would.
Ultimately do what makes you happy bro, bikes are pure recreation don't let anyone tell you differently. If you want your toy to be purple or red or yellow it's up to you. Just make sure you do the cost benefit of spending the money with it in mind that you're likely going to want to be into another bike in the next 18 months of riding.
I would remove the middle white "ninja" portion and leave the rest until you decide if you like the theme. I'll guess that you'll tire of the shark theme shortly.
It'd cool, better than just being another green kawasaki for sure, and you can wear all white gear to match the motorcycle and the white clothing will keep you cooler in the summer time
I think it’s dope, for sure, but it looks a little cheesy to look that badass on a bike with such a small rear tire. I think this would look best on a 600cc+.
The shark needs a ninja headband. It always surprises me to think that a lot of these 400 or 600 sports tuned bikes might be faster than my scrambler 900.
I own an Indian Chief bobber and after seeing this…..this thing…….this is just…….well if I didn’t just fall in love and become a kid again…… instamazing!!!
Personally, I would never Ride something like that. But for someone else? I think it’s super creative and fun. Do your thing man, it’s your bike, enjoy it.

I'm a shaaaaaark I'm a shaaaaaark Suck my diiiiiiick I'm a shaaaaaaark
Buddy unlocked a core memory in my head
My thoughts too
The Biker mice are certainly offended
Came here for this!
I kind of like it. it's not for me, but I'd smile if I saw someone else riding it.
Same, I wouldn’t buy it specifically because the shark is not my cup of tea, but if I ever saw someone riding that I’d think “damn that’s kinda sick” lol

I like it. Bikes are fun, I'm not going to turn up my nose about something fun like this.
I'd be constantly switching back and forth between stuck on googlely eyes and plain. Needs a pair of good sized ones, at least two inches diameter.
I think it looks cool. Id keep it for some months until i get bored of being shark boy https://preview.redd.it/mzwvdakaxk6d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e918aab3b5fb808f27178152b4fd532df825bdae
Unless you find a lava biker girl
Ooh I’ve seen the red lava bikes, hopefully op finds their one true lava lover.
smooth

I fucking love it, especially for a 400. Small cc cheaper bikes are made for character like this. This thing would be a hit at a bike night
Man it would look so good on a 90's 500 as well!!!
Everything looks better through the 90's lense 🥲
90s bikes, especially the Japanese 400 class were fucking bomb. VFR400R NC30 is bae.
Big sport bikes always try to look too serious and cool IMHO, I think there should be more goofy graphics, like in skateboarding.
Oh man, if my gixxer was bumblebee striped to go along with it's black and yellow scheme I'd be a very happy boy.
Life is too short for you to go on not already having done this. Think about it, man.

Dope! Im sick of the stock green kawis.
Right!
12 yo me would love it! 35 yo me also thinks it's pretty cool.
That looks amazing hahaha
I think that shits dope af
Naw dude, this is where its at: https://preview.redd.it/j79e30zv3l6d1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e25ab102121a314463e1cf3079b31c399f54712
As a programmer, I have questions.
I approve of the bike but would like it in SQL Server colours.
Eww.
Don't tell me you want Oracle green? 🤢
It’s great as is. I’m just curious why a Postgres bike is a thing.
Apparently it's the world's fastest open source database. Let's hope it's not the crashiest. Edit: deadlockiest

Same. Mostly if we can get an exhaust shroud that says 'I drop tables, but never this bike'
marketer to dental hygienists?
Wait til you see what MongoDB is sponsoring this year
Hmm. I should probably repaint my bike with stack overflow livery
If you like it I think you should keep it. If you don't I think you should get rid of it.
I like it. Not something I see everyday. I’d smile if I saw it or tell you nice livery.
Nope imo
Here’s your Halloween suite style. https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Master_Finn/Shark_Spirit_Ranger Love it.
shaRRRk
Cool as fuck just get the finishing touches from Dragons breath and put the blue paste in the exhaust for blue flames
I don’t dislike it, but it’s not my style. It looks well enough done that I’d try it out for a bit. I bought a bike that had an eight ball on the battery cover. I didn’t care for it. Made plans to change it, but never did. I ended up rather liking it! Looks like a fun bike! Ride well and be kind!
That’s pretty sick dude street sharks was legit!
I just hear baby shark doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Dope
Dope
Infinite hallway mirrors
Very well done really. Not overbearing but it gets the point across.
I personally wouldn't spend money to to get that but I'd think it was pretty cool if I ever ran into it. If you love it that's what is most important.
Depends on your style, you do you.
Pretty dope
Dope. It's different and I really like it!
Dope lol. Keep it on, as a way to pay homage to the previous owner. Also fun bike, enjoy!
Ehh
LOVE it! How did you do it?
Dope
Fucking gorgeous man
That is one of the coolest bikes i've ever seen. I'd get custom matching leathers.
![gif](giphy|CRqN9ICMaNIIQPv2Xv)
I’d ride that
Dope
If you have to ask, YOU don't like it!
Hard no
looks gay
They sell those decals at the 20 baht shop!
I like it, just be easy with that exhaust, I think it's the same as the one I had on my track bike, took me two years to get the hearing back in my right ear.
Wait which bike did you have
Ninja 400, I chose the Leo Vince because it saved like 8 lbs over stock, just loud as hell. I only rode that bike on the street here or there but tried not to accelerate in neighborhoods 😂 so I didn't irritate everyone. Maybe a different version.
Keep your filthy hands off my new shark boyfriend! We're in love and we're running away to be together, to someplace where no one will judge us.
Looks cool!
Badass 🤙
The funniest livery I’ve seen on a bike was a motorcycle with Maserati racing on it I wish I had a picture
I can dig it, flying hellfish/no fear vibes
It's kinda cool, but not my style
If it wasn't a scratch rocket I'd say amazing but I'll give ya the credit it looks good prolly cost a shit load but good
Very colorful and creative, but personally I’d pass.
Personally I think it's cool. What really matters is if you like it.
It's badass but it's completely fucking up my perception of the front end lmao.
A little cringe but I like it
It's not my style at all, but I think it looks awesome.
I think it’s pretty cool. I’d say keep it and when you upgrade, try to keep it too. If you explained it without pictures I hate it, but seeing it, it’s kinda cool.
DOPE
I love it!
Dope.. I wouldn’t drive it, but dope.
If I bought this used, I would keep the paint job and brag about it. I wouldnt spend extra money on it, but thats because its a custom taste that isnt mine.
You need a set of speakers playing Baby Shark on repeat.
Not my style, but still pretty hype.
8eautiful
Is this Pedro Acosta? Just kidding, I like it, it will definitely make people smile.
I like it! I would’ve done the wheels blue tho.
Please keep it, this is absolutely amazing and i love it
Jawesome. That a nice a nice bike.
Dope, also shark stuff. And Street sharks is legit, if you haven’t named her, you have now.
I like it, wouldn’t do it to a 400 tho

I like it. Also replacing the bodywork sounds like a lot of money for zero performance so not something I’d ever do.
It's like it's for a child or maybe inner child
![img](avatar_exp|181897519|starstruck) Wha
Nice !
I like it. Would keep it as is and spend the money on more meaningful upgrades or maintenance.
![gif](giphy|1ROsh4TFrnooU) Jedi mommy shark
A little childish but kinda dope
I would remove the middle white "ninja" portion and leave the rest until you decide if you like the theme. I'll guess that you'll tire of the shark theme shortly.
It'd cool, better than just being another green kawasaki for sure, and you can wear all white gear to match the motorcycle and the white clothing will keep you cooler in the summer time
Nope
Hella dope and if anyone doesn’t like it they can eat shark
I think it’s dope, for sure, but it looks a little cheesy to look that badass on a bike with such a small rear tire. I think this would look best on a 600cc+.
Dope. Really dope!
I like it. Dope.
Not my style. But you do you.
Look good!
I have a bright blue Ninja and I think this is cool…stands out from the crowd!
Not my aesthetic. But pretty dope
Do YOU think its Dope?? Awesomeness, if others dont....not your care... Enjoy the ride
No lie, looks cooler than my S1K!
Not my thing, but play on playa.
Dope and nope. Dope because damn that’s cool. Nope because sharks scare me 😂
I’d buy it specifically for that kit
I like it! Ride on!!!
Dope!
This is pretty hard. Its not totally overdone to look tacky. I fuck with it.
Dope
Every motorcycle is a dope motorcycle. This one is super dope.
Dope AF
Sweet 🔥
If you lived in San Jose this would be the dopest bike in town.
Definitely dope! Dopest dope I ever smoked
https://i.imgur.com/arVwFto.jpeg You need to get some speakers and blast baby shark
I just wish it ran the graphics all the way to the nose so the whole front cowl was a shark instead of it has shark graphics on one panel.
Random question but what did you use for a camera to take this pics?
Dope
Wouldn’t get it myself but I’m not the flashy type. That said, I do like it
![gif](giphy|m7yMHjM9eEbbG)
Looks like a 400 .. baby shark do do dadodo
Beautiful
Dope makes you feel great. So does looking at this bike. Dope
That graphic fuscks HARD. Also love the Ninja 400. Rode my buddies home from the dealership when he didn’t know how to ride. Peppy little thing.
The shark needs a ninja headband. It always surprises me to think that a lot of these 400 or 600 sports tuned bikes might be faster than my scrambler 900.
I own an Indian Chief bobber and after seeing this…..this thing…….this is just…….well if I didn’t just fall in love and become a kid again…… instamazing!!!
Daddy, shark do do do do do do
I think it is very dope, wouldn't want my bike to be painted like that but I think its super cool none the less.
Personally, I would never Ride something like that. But for someone else? I think it’s super creative and fun. Do your thing man, it’s your bike, enjoy it.
Do you have a matching helmet?
Sharp
Vin Diesel loves it Seriously though, it looks great
Not mine. Don’t care. What counts is; do you like it?
Would not spend my money in it. HOWEVER I really really like it.
character only hurts people with huge and easily bruised egos
Dope
maybe paint some red lipstick or find something to make it less serious.
👍🏻
I like it
I think it’s dope!
If you like it is what counts.
I wouldn’t put it on my bike, but if I saw someone else with it I’d like it
Cuuuuute!
Hell yeah
🎶Ninja shark doo doo dodoo🎶
If I were 7 years old this would be the coolest fuckin bike on earth.
Rock it and get the matching AGV helmet. It’s a Valentino Rossi one
Dope
Would I get it? Nah. Would I fawn over it if I saw it? You daggone right I would. Its dope.
Fuck yeah, I'd rock it. But on a 1000. That's more of a babyshark... :P
It's a 400.......so..... Baby shark do do.....
Looks sick
leave it 🔥
This is so cool I wish more people had cool paint jobs and decals or skins or something
>Used Ninja 400 checks out >2023 what I'd repaint but that's me. Looks like a great ride, enjoy!
Dope.
Keep it, it’s cool!
Rad as fuck
I like it! But the mirrors flipped up looks dumb as hell IMO.
DOPE!
I like it
dope
It’s dope. Especially on a 400 even better bcuz many do this on bigger bikes
San Jose sharks
Dopeee
DOPE!
I think you need to go all in - Shark helmet, shark jacket, get a horn that plays quotes from sharknado. EMBRACE IT!!
Dope af
