A couple of the modern ones that I've ridden have been OK, like the Ninja 1000sx or the Z900. But a Z900 isn't in the same league or 'fun factor' as the MT09.

I know its expensive for what it is. I know that if I ever got one that it'd be the detuned version. I know that the Ninja ZX 400 R is a better all-around road bike.

I do not care. God, I still want a ZX 400 RR... As someone who's a massive fan of small-dispalcement 70's, 80's and 90's Japanese four-cylinders, this one simply hits all of the right chords for me.

Zack, this is a video idea for you and Ari: Sport standard vs Supersport. In which you could feature the Ninja 400, Ninja 650 and Ninja 1000 to their supersport counterparts, the ZX4RR, ZX6R and the ZX10R. It would be a perfect video to compare and contrast the strengths/weaknesses, features and so on all while exploring the Ninja DNA between models. I understand it would likely be a logistic nightmare, but it would surely be worth it. Something in the style of your ZX6R + Z900 vs R6 + FZ09 video would be fun. It's just the perfect opportunity since the ZX4RR has finally made an appearance and became that supersport counterpart to the Ninja 400. Make it happen! 😁 Zack, you and Ari are a freaking hoot to watch and I know you guys would knock this video out of the park too. Ride safe to you two and all of the Revzilla team. ✌️

@Jaslath 11 месяцев назад

@Jaslath it would still be good to have them back to fully cover the range. I enjoyed that video too, but that video was pretty much "which is faster?" and none of that would ever see the strengths of the Ninja 1000 or other standards in comfort, range, accessories for touring, etc.

The ZX-4RR is my first sport bike and I chose it for the simple fact that it was a low displacement high revving engine. Something I could grow into on a track as well. I usually cheap out with things I like to get the best deals but I wanted this one even with its price tag. It’s my third bike in the stable next to a BMW F650GS and a Harley Davidson Nightster 1200.

It is special, it's different, it's usable, and the bottom line which more motorcyclists should focus on - it's FUN! The smiles/mile on this bike are pretty unmatched. It's a happy little thing that is well built, well engineered, and a bold "fuck you" to the world of parallel twins and practicality. I can't ever see myself selling it.

@anonym3017 11 месяцев назад

except for the fact that the reason why the US spec was less powerful is different. the integra R was less powerful in the US cause the US had tighter emission standards than the EU/Japan. for motorcycles Euro5 is way stricter than what the US currently has. so emission regs ain't the reason the US spec is less powerful. this time the reason is that the EU sped is tuned for 95 RON gasoline, which is equivalent to 91 octane in the US as the US uses AKI, as that is the worst gas you can buy in the EU.

I just got to ride this bike today at a Kawasaki demo ride event and I loved it. Definitely less aggressive body position than the ZX6-RR, but it still feels very serious. And of course the engine is a hoot. Great review

For anyone wonder you can get the ECU flashed to the euro/Asian tune for about $300, that will make the bike have roughly 70-75hp

A corvette and a Lambo are sports cars. A corvette is on every corner as well as V8’s. A Lambo is not on every corner and it offers a V12. What pulls on your heart strings. A true enthusiast would go for the exclusive engine/bike. Some customers looking for a no drama dependable commute machine. Others seek adventure with each ride with the engine sound the music not your playlist.

This Kawasaki ZX-4RR was made for track days and for twisty, lonely roads where there is almost no traffic. It's almost a crime he didn't tap up through the gears, but I get it. Nobody wants to lose their license and their job. A great bike to not kill yourself on but to have those MotoGP dreams come true, at least for a few turns. It is special. It would have been even more special with a fully adjustable suspension.

@lacrossev 11 месяцев назад

I currently have an FZ-10 and a Ninja 300. Every time I get on the ninja, the lightness and fun still comes through but I always wish it had a bit more power. I want this bike to succeed but at this price thats going to stop a lot of people shopping that doesn't see what all the enthusiasts see, but we need those non-enthusiasts to pick the bike to fill out some of those sales. In a country where people are led to believe that if you weigh 250lbs you NEED a hayabusa to get anywhere, this lil guy is fighting an uphill battle. I think getting the price down to 7500-8k would set it up as an actual value pick. I know thats not what this is supposed to be but at the end of the day, sales are sales and kawasaki is still a business.

@jimmyp4622 11 месяцев назад

Used to own the first swingarm Honda vfr 400 (nc 24) and the final version of the RVF 400. Both awesome little bikes, helped me evolve as a rider immensely. Not expecting any factory producing any V-4 400s today, but in-line 4 supersports from all major manufacturers will be a nice thing.

I love that Zack and Ari have both ridden large capacity bikes and clearly are very experienced motorcyclists, yet they both love a small capacity motorcycle. I used to think that you only ever went up in the world of motorcycles, buying bigger every time, but I've dropped from a big bike to a medium size bike several times and it's always been a good experience. I won't deny you get an itch for more cc's after a few years but all bikes are great!

@otakarlibal 11 месяцев назад

55mph in first gear... I was hoping the zx4rr actually would be slower :D I saw the zx 25r once and I loved how it sounded like an absolute racer going through the gears while bassicaly just keeping with the traffic. Zack didnt even have much of a chance to actually go through the gears on the zx4rr, pretty much just rev out the first gear and then shift up to start cruising because you are already too fast for riding in a city.

@sterlingroberts6240 11 месяцев назад

Respect to Zach for giving this a fair shake, even if it isn’t his jam. This bike is right up my alley, but like he said, even if it isn’t what you want, we should all just be happy bikes like this are getting made, especially today. Zach, if you read this, I’m curious about how much your elbows block the view in the mirrors, both upright and in the tuck. I ride a ninja 300 currently, if you remember the mirror situation of that one. I guess a comparison to the ninja 400 would be very close.

Give this thing a flash tune and an exhaust and I think this would be a perfect sports bike. Hard choice for me between this and a R7

@YoMomsDaBombDotCom 11 месяцев назад

yeah If it wasn’t 10k+. A much better argument could be made for 8 other bikes, with the lowered power numbers the MT03, MT07, MT09, the Z400, Z650, Z900. GSXs750 or even a GSXS1000 for about a grand more. The GSXS1000 is the only bike that’s more expensive that i listed. A “streetable” sportbike is an oxymoron. A Triumph Daytona 675r with abs with less than 10k miles can be had for under $6k. There’s no good argument to be made for this little bike until it’s cheaper except “cool” but what isn’t cool about these others?
