2024 Kawasaki ZX-4RR - What's New? And Who Is This Bike Really For? 

I was wanting an inline 4. I didn't want the ZX6R because it had more power that I would ever use that often. I was riding a 2021 MT07. Loved riding it but it didn't have the quality's of an in line 4 such as the sound and the ability to work the transmission for the power. With the MT07 the power was so immediate it wasn't that much fun for the roads I ride. It's great for people that like to stunt bikes. I don't. I love the ZX4RR and I ride it almost every day while owning 4 other bikes. I was a little apprehensive on buying a 400 but I am not at all disappointed. Insurance is even cheaper not to mention how fuel efficient it is.

Got my zx4rr coming in Jan/Feb ‘24 for myself and my daughters who are now riding (11 and 13 years old) we’re all really excited to get it

Thank you for helping me decide to buy the ZX-4RR. I've booked mine in India (very limited stock) and am expecting to receive it after two months. The honesty and integrity with which you present your views are a complete breath of fresh air. Your personality is amazing mate. Feels like I'm listening to a buddy that I admire. I've come back to this video at least 5 times and the earlier one comparing the ZX-4RR and ZX-4R... I've watched that several times as well.

Love to hear such an expert review. Everything you need to know, here is explained. I also like that when Peter talks about a special or rare component or piece, he explains what is all about. I think this is one of the most professional reviewers on the web. Thanks for the great work. Hope you grow on followers soon!

Hey man I'm from india and i love your videos.. Just booked mine the 4rr .. but the waiting time is 6 7 months.. can't wait.

such a great review, you are awesome for providing this content! Thank you

Great video and insight, great review, Hugs Jim

It is always a pleasure to follow your reviews. The first motorcycle I bought was a Kawasaki Ninja 400, your review helped me a lot to decide. Thank you so much!

i do love 400cc.. i dunno if its just me. but i think 1000cc is too much for a public road. maybe 600cc is ok for me too but 400cc is the best of both worlds for me i think... love this ❤

Hi Peter, good to see you posting again. I am anxious to look at this video completely but just wanted to say how happy to see you again. Hope all is well. I am a retired 74 year old who is now writing spy mystery novels. Two are completed and a third will come out this late spring or summer. It is a novel that features motocross and sports motorcycles. I used your videos and reviews from a lot of my research to ensure that I could speak in a way that sounded like I understood both areas of this cool sport. As a consequence I am now in the process of purchasing a Kawasaki ninja 400. I have never ridden a motorcycle before. I did play college and professional tennis some 50 years ago. Had very fast reactions and coordination. Later in life I took up the cello so my left arm and right arm can still function well independently, I used your reviews to determine the ninja 400 was the perfect ride for a new rider my age and with what I see myself doing. I would love to ride motocross. 60 years ago had I been introduced to that sport perhaps i would have gone that way rather than tennis. It and track racing are the most exciting sports I have witnessed. This is a long note but wanted to let you know your impact and how important your reviews are not just to me I am sure to a lot of viewers. Glad you are back and doing your reviews. Hope you and your family are well. Tom M

Thanks for the awesome review. You have me convinced!!! What are differences between the 2023 ZX4RR and 2024 ZX4RR?

Found a leftover 2023 out in the boonies in southern IL for $9551 + tax so pretty happy to have snagged one.

Hi Peter… nice bike

This review is dead on. Makes me even more excited to ride it. I was about to buy the Ninja 500 until I saw this one in black at the dealer. Traded in my z400. Waiting on my frame slider to get going. Great review.

This bike is for me, I got it sitting in the garage waiting on me to get my license!🥲

absolutely gorgeous. this is a later down the road bike for me. ill pay cash for it and keep it stock. interstate miles only (for the most part)

Nice review, thanks Peter! Cool motorcycle. Will you be reviewing the new E-bikes soon? That's cool the helmet lock is already on the bike. My Ninja 650 '21, I have to improvise with an alternate method when going into stores and leaving my bike helmet with the bike.

I have a zx4r and in Ontario, it’s the only supersport you can get insurance for without paying more that $7000 a year. Also once I get comfortable I will tune it.

the front fork is not fully adjustable, preload only. No compression or rebound. still a great machine

I have a z400. I like upping gears on the street but not going so fast it becomes dangerous

Hi Peter! Love all your reviews you’ve been educating and entertaining us! I am a proud owner of my 2023 ZX-4RR in the states and when doing comparisons from the 23 to the 24 I can’t help but wonder why Kawasaki’s website they’ve listed on the tire sizes a change to the front tire of the 23 model from 120/70-17 to the new 24 model at 110/70-17. I’m not anywhere close to knowing much about performances and functions, but if this isn’t an error then why the change to a skinnier tire for the front but keeping the rear at 160/60-17? My guess is more agility when entering corners and would there be a noticeable difference from this minor change? Thanks!

Does the motorcycle remember the settings after turning off the engine (for example, a quickshifter on)?

Thanks for the great video! If you had to choose between the ZX6R and this ZX4RR which one would be better?

Hey Peter can you review the anniversary edition.. if possible

I currently own a vfr400 nc30. I'd like something a bit newer, with Abs, better ergos with similar power. Is the zx4rr a good fit?

I like this bike, the only things I dislike about the 4RR are the suspension on the front, non full adjustability, the seat is still a little lower, the bars are a bit higher and the frame, its non aluminum, like the old but reliable ZXR400. But the tech features are great. Question, is the Canadian version same as US spec, from what I read US spec are neutered, the Asian spec models are not.

For 2024 it also comes in a 40th Anniversary Edition. That's what's new

now they need to make a 600sx, with the same soul as this bike. Dont get me wrong I'm loving riding this thing .... but m 6'4" a bit bigger of a bike would be nice. make the stance a bit racier than the 1000sx keep the rev happy screamer, try to pull a bit of weight out of the 1000sx, yah know basically this thing but a bit bigger.

If you tune or do ECU flush, would it void all factory warranty?

Front suspension is NOT fully adjustable as you mentioned, it only has preload.

Just wish insurance wasn't insanely high vs regular ninja 400 it was over 2x more for me im44 but only moto license for 6 years

with the amount of money Kawii is asking i think the CBR600rr seems like a good buy or even the CBR650R

Daily raider ??

Doesn't it have a auto blipper?

Both colors kinda wack. Good thing you cant see it whilst riding lol. Its all about the sound with this one anyway.

I would take one. Even though I'm a liter guy. 5.7l 5.0l 6.4l. That is the only time I use drug dealer measurements. Back to the bike. I bet its gutless at the top end.
