2024 Kawasaki ZX-4RR Initial thoughts over this new weapon that has only recently arrived to New Zealand shores after a much anticipated wait. I’ll pop up another video when I’ve had more seat time! Ride 4, let’s go!
Hi. Just saw ur video. I bought the '23 ZX-4RR here in the U.S.. Look into Graves Motor Sports for their slip on or full exhaust. I bought their slip on and love it. Gonna flash my ECU this winter and possibly buy their full exhaust. I LOVE my 4RR. Here in the States, only 1 bike was delivered to each Kawasaki dealer in early '23, so roughly 1800 of them on the road here. Congrats. You'll love it.
I can't wait to get one of these, not many canadian deliveries yet but i've been waiting for them to build this since I first got into bikes. I never thought they'd bring a small inline 4 back to north america. Great video quality, you deserve more subs!
Just an FYI... I have a 2021 ZX-6R, and a 1 inch lower seat and 1.5 clip-on risers makes the ZX-6R nearly identical to the ZX-4RR regarding seating position. Actually, my ZX-6R is more comfortable than my previous Ninja 400. I have the ZX-4RR on order. For street riding, a couple of easy to moderate updates will improve visibility, comfort, safety, and the overall riding experience.
A slower right hand makes it more drivable also. Keeps the motor from being bogged down by throttle. As others have said, if you need a lot now, shift down. With time you’ll learn the ride and either enjoy it or hate it. As an ole man I apply this, learn the bikes strengths and weaknesses, use the strengths it has. I ride a 900RS also, I don’t expect the same ride from the smaller bike. Biggest problem for the 4RR is that right now there isn’t another to compare it to legitimately, it’s a good ride, maybe not the best but it’s fun to ride!!!
100%. Love the advice, thank you! I am finding the throttle in full power mode is rather touchy, but rather back off and work through the motions than full send and slip out 😅
Kia Ora Amber another Kiwi here from Auckland. Just put a deposit on one today. Getting back into riding after 14 years at the age of 50! Very excited as I grew up with in line 4 and have been waiting for a new one for over a decade. Just wanted you to know I ordered a Yoshimura on Ali Express and it was cheap but I was told the guys in the states are buying it from the same place. Hope we have a specific club here in NZ for the in line 4. Anyway hopefully I will see you around on a ride. Please tell me how is the best way to get into track riding in NZ. In South Africa it was very much like Fast and the Furious in the 90s, very illegal. Not my thing here as I have teenage daughters a Dad has to set a good example too… btw let’s see if you get my personalised plate. 4TMNT 😊
@@SkankHunt42O hey , ive had a great time with it so far, already 518 miles on , tbh , powere feels great to me but im also not an adrenaline junkie speed demon lmao, but maybe i will tune it eventually this year, but man this thing is an absolute blast and I get compliments everywhere I go. I will probably never sell this thing and keep it and just keep adding things to it until it’s officially a track machine but until then I daily this bike because it’s that much of a joy to ride
Nice initial review. I am looking at these in the UK and should get the full power version. If you dont mind me asking, what is your inside leg measurement, I am 5' 4" with a 28" inside leg and I wondering if I am going to be able to put both feet down. Balls of feet is enough. I tried an RS660 but that was a 1 foot only, which is why this bike appeals. More power than an A2 class bike, but I hopefully can fit on it and feel confident.
I'm 5'2 with 27 inseam and that's my current bike. I can reach both feet down though it's very tippy toe but doing 1 foot is very easy even with the traffic in the Philippines.
Hey Amber thanks for the review. Had a ninja 400 a few years ago, I’m wondering how I would fit on this thing. Im 5’6 29 inseam 160 lbs. Regards from New Jersey United States!
Pretty comfortably. The 6ft guys have jumped on and said it’s not too bad, and me being so short, you’re lucky to be in the middle! Apologies for the delay!
Wow what an amazing bike absolute beast just a question for a total beginner would this be a good bike to start on bearing in mind I'm sensible and got a mature head would it be good to start on because I love this bike so much
Hi, just a little thing, please avoid using this camera in the future, it shows EXTREME levels of distortion and makes the video very unpleasant to use, maybe you can fix this in post, but pretty please do something about it Maybe it gets better later in the video, I am only 30 seconds in, but that's just something that immediately threw me off
