@BADonnelly65 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the review. Pretty much what I expected and totally get the lukewarm reaction. I’ve been enjoying my ZX4RR for three weeks now. I am an older former BMW S1000RR and current single R rider. I had to make the switch in 2014 due to some nerve issues lingering from an old back injury. I personally think this ZX4RR is not targeted toward younger upward aspiring track riders. It’s just too expensive. Personally, I think it was designed for me. I’ve got the track skills but ready to slow down, need slightly relaxed ergos but still desire the premium bits that generally aren’t included in entry level bikes like the Ninja 400. The bonus of my ZX4RR is that I can ride on the street like I do on track without going to jail!

@feralchimp Жыл бұрын

Hard agree. At 45 / 160 lbs with some prior track experience, this is honestly the perfect street/track motorcycle for me. Extremely fun on the street even with the stock US throttle nerfing, and trivially unlockable a little further into break-in. Honestly not sure I'll swap the exhaust unless I take the plunge into a Novice grid, and maybe not even then. I kinda want to get a second one to make track only. 😬

@ThaSideWeed Жыл бұрын

Hard disagree tbh. You're comparing what exactly? The ability to stay at high rpms on this? Otherwise there is mostly nothing in common as I'm sure you're aware. The electronics are indeed a differentiating factor and pertain to the premium segment. But physical component-wise I'd struggle to call anything on this bike premium.

@Real_MisterSir Жыл бұрын

But the thing is, can't you say the exact same thing about an RC390 that costs half? Or a 636 that costs the same? Or is a bike like the 636 inherently less about "having fun" just because it has a better engine and components? Don't get me wrong, it's not about the ZX4RR not being fun. It's about what insane price tag it demands just for being fun. A Miata's fun value is amazing, because it is economically obtainable. It doesn't cost the same as a typical 60k sportscar, yet it offers equal fun factor. That's the difference. It aint fast, but its inexpensive and its fun. ZX4RR unfortunately isn't in that category unless you give it that flash it needs, and also lower the price by a good 1-2k at least.

Its completely fair to judge the zx4rr by it's specs and price wherever you are in the world and comparing it to other motorcycles in the sams class or maybe even above BUT it's also completely unfair to disregard and brush it off as a failure. It's an amazing motorcycle and it's existence should be welcomed as it adds more variety in it's class that is full of single or twin cylinder engines. It's a really cool machine and like all expensive toys. It's not for everyone.

The only thing people did on this bike from my country is to change the engine sprocket for more torque, other than that it's not neutered here unlike there. Hard to justify $13k out the dealer price when it's being sold for less here in my country, with about 78-80hp on the dyno. I personally want one, because tollways here only allow 400cc and above motorcycles to pass through. That bike was made for the Asian Market and prolly the Euro market, not for Americans that complain how small a 400 is when it really is a big bike for us Asian dudes. 🤷‍♂️

I'll be honest, this bike while out of my price range, bothers me. Mostly in that Kawasaki marketed it as if it can punch up on the 600's, and priced it accordingly. It probably brought back memories for some of those race ready 250cc screamers. But then we all find out the hard way, they cut the bike's balls off from the factory with zero notice. I suspect that a big reason for this, is to comply with the ever more absurd and impossible emissions regulations, but then how do larger displacement bikes not get neutered as well? Don't they have to comply with the insanity as well? If they wanted to make a spicier 400 from the factory, why not just beef up the Ninja 400 and make it a separate SKU? Call it like a Ninja 400-SP or something to differentiate it from the stock bike and Z400.

It would be nice to find out that the proper higher spec was already loaded up on the 4RR's ECU and just needed something as simple as the old ZX6R Jumper Mod to unlock it. Otherwise, having to pay that much for most of the bike and then pay for a flash to get the rest of it.. It's just unacceptable.

Nope zx4rr destroy ninja 400 Ur unlucky USA get detune zx4rr while Asian country get 78hp and dey already show zx4rr vs ninja 400 and zx4rr destroy Ninja 400 without any ecu flash and modification only stock from factory

TST Industries put a full Akra exhaust from a zx25 on this bike. Made the bike sound amazing and combined with a ecu flash it will be a different machine.

@songoku-ix8mu Жыл бұрын

it seems that the problem with the zr25r is also experienced by the zx4rr too, the sound does sound really good because it's 4 cylinders but when it's driven for speed the power doesn't come out as expected & the price is more expensive than similar competitors😂😂

Name those similar competitors. Name one inline 400cc sportbike other than this. I'll wait.

For a street and track bike I'd go 636 personally. For a second track-only bike I'd lean towards the 4RR and take it to mod-town.

@xorbe2 Жыл бұрын

The new 636 with more low/mid power is going to be a nice street bike, it has me thinking, but I want to see reviews first.

Was here a few weeks ago with one of my cars. That track is so buttery smooth perfect pavement everywhere. Probably the only thing I noticed is that the rumble strips like ice.

The dealer got theirs for MSRP, if they wanted it for themselves, but more than likely they just demo it and send it out to sell as well cause you can get 15% extra margin (Minimum) plus financing, destination, and fees across the whole new model Motorcycle market.

My god yammie, I need you to flash this thing and rereview before mine gets shipped to PA and I have to make the decision on keeping my deposit lmaooo. I got my dealer to agree on msrp for the bike and to add the flash and exhaust when I pick it up, but the clock is ticking and this slow drip campaign has me blue in the boxers

Looks to me to be the best Intro Track Day rent a wreck Learn to race class, or to sell along side an entry level racing and road training course for young/New riders. Also seems like a platform to work from, I imagine that the tuning magic can be found in there somewhere by the bit wizards and curve genies.

I started riding dirt bikes when I was like 10 or 11. First street bike was a 300. I’ve had a 3rd gen SV650 for a few years. I want a second bike and have been thinking 4RR would be a blast. As as you said a zx6r or RS660 or gsx8r (twins I know trolls) there’s a tone of gsxr750’s in that ballpark too. I’m kinda scared of euro bikes costing an arm and leg for repairs and stuff. Not really interested in an r6 or 7 or Honda cb650r. I talking about a second bike for fun, would you go 636 or gsxr750, RS660 or GSX8R???

Disappointed that the North American market units got throttled down almost 50% of its power while the European and Asian markets get the uncorked version.

I would like to see price competitors comparison! Rs660 and R7 would probably destroy it even with it having 80 whp! Honestly i think this bike is overpriced for what you get!
