Kawasaki’s all new 400cc LAMS machine, the Ninja 400 will accommodate a range of luggage options once fitted with the Ventura L-Brackets, such as the EVO Pack and Rack, Astro Top-Box, Sport-Rack, Pack-Rack or Grab-Handle.
Check out our Launch Review of the Ninja 400 here.
Ventura’s system allows up to 102 litres of luggage carrying capacity with two Aero-Spadas zipped together all the way down to the 10 litre Sport-Pack, with the range ensuring there’s something to suit every need and every style, even including panniers in the Bonneville 24L option, and the Astro solid top box.
The Ventura Bonneville 24L panniers
If you’re sick of lugging around a backback, with the ensuing discomfort and wind drag while riding, or need to carry more, whether that’s because your only transport is your motorcycle, or simply for convenience when out on a weekend, Ventura is a great option. In fact here at BikeReview.com.au we’ve fitted them to many of our own bikes, as well as Long Termers.
Ventura’s unique rack system ensures that the load won’t shift, even during hard riding while the positioning offers excellent stability and as it is directly behind the rider gives much greater manoeuvrability in traffic – and less wind resistance on the open road compared to traditional pannier systems.

it looks great but I can tell you – trying to order any of this stuff is hard.
Id like some panniers but the links go nowhere
Then I find I can order the pannier frame but no way to order the panniers
I have decided to go the C Bow way as at least I can order these even if I do have to wait a bit.

Did you have issues ordering the Ventura Bonneville panniers? Your local motorcycle store should be able to order those in for for you. The Bonneville panniers should be able to be ordered with and without the mounts. Let us know some more details if you’re in Australia so we can let Kenma know your feedback.
